How to find your teacher

Browse, compare and contact teachers yourself. We don't sit between you and your teacher, and we don't add fees.

  1. Browse

    Filter the directory by subject, qualification, level, lesson format and price.

  2. Compare

    Read each teacher's qualifications, specialisms, rate and approach. A Verified badge means we have reviewed evidence of their teaching qualification.

  3. Contact for free

    Send an enquiry with your name, email and what you need. No account, no booking fee.

  4. Agree lessons directly

    The teacher replies by email. You agree times, price and payment with them, and pay them directly.

Free to contact, paid lessons. Sending an enquiry is free. Lessons are paid at the rate shown on each teacher's profile, directly to the teacher. FindEnglishTeacher.com does not take payments or add commission. What "Verified" means

I have taught English for over 30 years. I built this so learners can find qualified teachers easily, and good teachers don't hand a third of their income to a platform for an introduction.

Questions

Common questions

For learners

Is it free to contact a teacher?

Yes. Sending an enquiry is free and needs no account. Lessons themselves are paid: you agree the price and payment method directly with the teacher.

How do I pay for lessons?

Directly to your teacher, in the way you both agree. FindEnglishTeacher.com does not take payments or add any fee.

What does "Verified" mean?

It means we have reviewed documentary evidence of the teacher's teaching qualification. It is not a guarantee of teaching quality. Read exactly what we check.

Why do profiles say "No reviews yet"?

The directory is new. We only show reviews from students who have had lessons, so we don't display ratings until there are genuine reviews.

For teachers

How do students pay me?

Directly, however you agree — bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe or anything else. We never handle lesson payments, so there is nothing to deduct.

How does verification work?

You send evidence of your teaching qualification. We review it by hand, usually within one working day. Once approved, a Verified badge appears on your profile. Details

Will I get enquiries?

We can't promise a number of enquiries — the directory is new and growing. We publish exam and city guides to bring learners to the site, and your profile stays free on the Free plan.

Can I leave whenever I like?

Yes. There is no contract. Pro can be cancelled at any time and ends at the end of the billing period.
