Maya, English tutor
Current platforms take too much commission. I'm excited about an alternative that values our work.

As a teacher, I've seen platforms change drastically without any notice or explanation.

Marketplaces bring students. Going solo gives control, but adds admin. SpeakingHumans helps you own your teaching business, build trust, and cut the admin work.

We saw how language platforms make teaching harder than it should be: too much pressure, too many expectations, and not enough control. So we built SpeakingHumans ourselves. In countless sessions and iterations together, the platform has become a solid place for great language lessons.
