01Who this is for

Built for teachers ready to grow

For language teachers who already run their own practice, and those building one alongside platform teaching. Make your 1:1 lessons easy to book, pay for, and join.

You teach your own students—or want to build your own student base.

You want to set your own prices, shape your lessons, and choose when you teach.

You want to spend more time teaching and less time coordinating bookings and payments.

02The shift

From individual bookings
to lasting student relationships

Give students a familiar place to return, a simple way to book their next lesson, and the option to keep learning with you through lesson packages.

What gets in the way

Organizing lessons takes time and energy away from you and your students.

Students enjoy your lessons, but arranging the next one takes effort.

On marketplaces, your relationship competes with countless other teacher profiles.

High marketplace commissions reduce what you earn from each lesson.

More room to grow with SpeakingHumans

Connected bookings, payments, and reminders give you more time for teaching.

A familiar teaching page makes it easy for students to book with you again.

Add your profile, lesson offers, prices, packages, and availability.

Step 2

Connect calendar and payment

Sync Google Calendar and connect PayPal for bookings and payments.

Step 3

Step 4

05Teacher perspectives

Different paths. One shared goal

Teaching independently gives me freedom, but juggling messages, payments, calendars, and lesson links takes too much time.

Maya, independent English tutor

A marketplace helped me start, but now I want more control and a practice under my own name.

Daniele, Italian teacher

I want students to come back easily, keep learning, and build a lasting relationship with me.

Jean, French teacher

07Why we built this

About us

We saw language teachers caught between two difficult options. On marketplaces, algorithms, competition, changing rules, and high commissions can make it harder to build a practice around lasting student relationships. Independently, teachers often have to piece together bookings, payments, reminders, and lesson access themselves.

We built SpeakingHumans to offer another way: a connected teaching practice under your own name, where students can book, return, and keep learning with you.

Back to the roots. Back to human lessons

Set up your teaching page and give students a simple way to book, return, and keep learning with you.
