The world's language teachers,
in one place
The Speassy Teacher Marketplace connects language learners directly with verified, reviewed teachers in more than 80 languages. No agency markup, no hidden fees, no long-term contracts. Browse real profiles, read verified reviews, watch teacher introduction videos, and book a trial lesson in under five minutes.
Every teacher on Speassy has been identity-verified and reviewed by our team — we accept fewer than 30% of applicants. You're not choosing from a list of strangers; you're choosing from a community of committed educators who passed our bar.
Whether you need weekly conversation practice to maintain your Spanish, an intensive IELTS sprint in 6 weeks, or a patient beginner teacher for your 10-year-old — you'll find the right person here.

How we vet every teacher
We accept fewer than
3 in 10 applicants
Every verified badge on Speassy represents a multi-step review. Here's exactly what we check before a teacher meets their first student.
Identity verification
Government-issued ID is checked and matched to the account. Aliases and anonymous profiles are not permitted for verified teachers.
Teaching demo
Every applicant teaches a real 20-minute demo lesson to a member of our team. We evaluate clarity, patience, feedback quality, and engagement.
Background screening
We run background checks through a third-party provider. Any serious criminal record results in automatic rejection, no exceptions.
Ongoing reviews
Verified status isn't permanent. Teachers who fall below a 4.0 rating receive a performance review and may lose their badge.
For teachers

Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered
How are teachers verified on Speassy?
Every teacher on Speassy goes through a multi-step verification: identity check, teaching demo reviewed by our team, and background screening. We accept fewer than 30% of applicants. Verified teachers display a blue badge on their profile, so you always know who has been vetted.
What is a trial lesson and how much does it cost?
A trial lesson is a discounted first session — typically 50% off the teacher's normal rate — designed to let you and the teacher assess compatibility before committing to a course. If the match isn't right, Speassy will credit your account and suggest three alternative teachers at no extra charge.
How do I know which teacher is right for me?
Start with the filters: language, goal (conversation, exam, business), level, price range, and availability. Then read the reviews — they're all from verified learners who completed real sessions. Many learners also send a message to a teacher before booking to get a feel for their style and communication.
What languages can I find teachers for?
Speassy has verified teachers for 80+ languages, including all major world languages and many minority and regional languages. For less common languages, availability may vary by time zone — you can set a notification to be alerted when a teacher in your target language becomes available.
Can I book recurring lessons with the same teacher?
Yes. Once you find a teacher you love, you can subscribe to a weekly or bi-weekly recurring schedule. Recurring lessons are typically offered at a discounted rate, and your slot is reserved so you don't need to rebook each time.
What if I'm unhappy with a lesson?
If a lesson falls below our quality standards — the teacher was late, unprepared, or the session ended significantly early — contact support within 24 hours and we'll issue a full credit. We're building a marketplace where quality is protected, not just promised.
How much do teachers charge?
Teachers set their own rates. Prices range from around $8 to $80 per hour, depending on the language, the teacher's experience and credentials, and the lesson type. Community exchange partners (native speakers helping learners without charging) are also available through audio rooms at no cost.
I am a teacher — how does Speassy make it worth my time?
Speassy takes a platform fee of 15–20% — significantly lower than most teaching platforms. You keep more of what you earn, you set your own rates and availability, and you get access to a global audience of motivated learners without spending anything on marketing. Payouts are processed weekly.
Can I learn from a native speaker who isn't a professional teacher?
Yes. We distinguish between "Verified Teachers" (credentialed, professionally reviewed) and "Native Speaker Partners" (community members who have completed identity verification and community guidelines training). Both types are available in the marketplace, clearly labelled, and rated by learners.
Is the Teacher Marketplace available on mobile?
Yes. Browse, book, message, and attend lessons entirely from the Speassy iOS or Android app. All marketplace features — including video profiles, reviews, and scheduling — are fully available on mobile.
