Teach Spanish Online: A Comparison of Top Platforms

Why Teach Spanish Online?

Teaching Spanish online offers flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to connect with students worldwide. As demand for language learning grows, online platforms make it easier than ever to become a professional language teacher.

Several platforms offer opportunities to teach Spanish online. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular ones and how they compare to our platform.

How Our Platform Stands Out

While all the platforms listed above have their merits, our approach offers unique benefits that prioritize teacher experience, support, and long-term growth.

1. Professional Support for Teachers

  • Learning materials: Access structured learning materials, audio, video, and exercises.
  • Reduced preparation time: Automated worksheets and lesson materials save time.
  • Administration automation: Automated tracking of lesson history and homework.

2. Small, Focused Team

  • Dedicated team: Work with a small, well-trained team of teachers and staff.
  • Quality over quantity: Unlike platforms with thousands of teachers, we ensure a consistent experience for both teachers and students.

3. Better Teacher Compensation

  • Fair payments: Unlike other platforms that charge commissions up to 33%, our payment structure is more transparent and secure.
  • Secure payments: Teach worldwide with guaranteed payment for lessons.

4. Long-Term Student Engagement

  • Motivated students: We prioritize long-term learning relationships, reducing churn and ensuring consistent classes for teachers.
  • Structured learning paths: Teachers follow a clear learning program to keep students engaged and on track.

Which Platform Should You Choose?

Choosing the right platform depends on your goals as a teacher. If you prefer to work on a large marketplace with high competition, Italki and Preply may suit you. If you’re looking for a more exclusive community with better support, our platform provides a more teacher-friendly experience. With structured materials, automation, and dedicated support, you’ll spend less time preparing and more time teaching.

We have had a very successful time with Carla. Our son learned very much Portuguese during his time with Carla. After 46 lessons he has entered Portuguese school now. Obviously, the training has not brought him to fluency, learning a language takes very much time and effort, but despite the little effort he has put into learning aside of the lessons themselves (saying he was not good about homework), he is able to basically follow school now. We are very much endebted to Carla to have opened this access to the Portuguese school system for him and us. Carla is a very patient teacher. So even though it did not seem too hard, progress was steady and effective. This is probably the best format to learn a language, and it particularly suits the needs of a child very much.
I can do no more than very warmly and enthousiastically recommend Carla as a language teacher of Portuguese.

Katja is a great person and a great teacher. She helps me a lot with my English and it's always great fun. Katja lessons are a very important point of the week for me, then you have to be lucky enough to have such a teacher. LG Barbara
