I’m a qualified tutor with 20+ years of experience. I joined Preply hoping to connect with serious students, but this platform is a complete joke. I received almost 3,000 profile views — and only 9 trial lessons.I lowered my rate, updated my profile and photo, followed all the platform advice… and was “rewarded” by being pushed even lower in search rankings (position 600+). It’s clear Preply’s algorithm favors cheap, mass-produced tutors over quality, experienced educators.You’re basically forced to work for peanuts, fight for visibility, and watch the platform eat 18–33% of your income while doing nothing to support you.If you’re a professional looking for sustainable online income, don’t waste your time here. Build your own client base and stop feeding platforms that undervalue skilled teachers.
