Preply is the budget pick and the strongest choice for languages. Its homepage lists 100,000+ tutors and 120+ subjects, with tens of thousands of English tutors and thousands of Spanish, Chinese and French tutors. Every tutor sets their own price, and Preply's math tutor page says lessons start from $3, with an average price of $17. Students can filter by price, availability, tutor country and specialty, and Preply offers a free tutor replacement if a student is not happy. The Super Tutor badge marks tutors with consistently strong performance. For parents, the drawbacks are that Preply is built around language learning, school subject coverage is thinner than at dedicated K to 12 services, and the site does not publish a detailed tutor screening process. Prices on the main site show in local currency outside the US, so check the currency setting. We compared documented features and published prices only.
