Preply is a platform that allows its users to receive online language training from the teacher of their choice for various fees. Working with certified tutors, Preply has more than 10,000 instructors teaching in different fields. Preply is also apparently very confident, offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee. But does it really work? I don’t think so. I’ve looked into more than 21 thousand reviews about Preply on Trustpilot, Product Hunt, Quora, Play Store, App Store, and Best Language Learning Apps.

Through these reviews, I‘ve come to the conclusion that Prpely is not good. I think so because a lot of users claim their teacher blocked them during the lesson, their tutors were neglectful, and I know for a fact they teach too many languages with the help of too many tutors. I believe this affects the quality of the tutors and the lessons. In addition, although Preply offers affordable lessons and trial lessons, it does not provide refunds when users request them.

From my experience and the user reviews I’ve read, I can say Preply’s best quality is the range of prices. Preply prices range between 15 and 100 Dollars. This range enables students to choose a tutor according to their budget. It seems a sensible thing to do but you must be careful when choosing a tutor and not make the mistake I’ve made. When I first started learning English on Preply, I thought I should get the cheapest lesson available. I thought I was being smart, but I wasn’t. My lessons with that teacher -whose name I won’t share- were not good at all. I regretted that a lot and paid more to get work with a better tutor.

From the reviews I’ve looked into and my experience, I think Preply’s best quality is its unfaithfulness towards its students. What I mean by that is, Preply has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but they don’t refund their students. They claim they will refund the students when they cannot take a lesson due to problems caused by Preply. For example, when I got my lessons, the teacher I first took lessons from did not attend the lesson. Therefore, I could not have the lesson but I paid for it. I tried to reach the customer support department but I failed. Even though I continued with the platform with a different tutor, I still believe it is not okay to not refund the money to the students when they deserve a refund.&nbsp;

Trustpilot is a global platform where users around the world can make comments on products or services they’ve purchased. That is why I wanted to look into reviews here. On Trustpilot, Preply has more than 8.700 reviews and a rating of 4.2 out of 5. 83% of these reviews are positive, 2% are neutral, and 15% are negative. Positive reviews are mostly about the helpful customer service and the tutors. Negative reviews, on the other hand, are about the technical problems with the app, problems with prices and the payment, and the unfair subscription models. Here are some reviews I sectioned as 4-5 starred and 1-2 starred reviews:

“I really appreciate your prompt response. But it would have been better if there was a further action on my side too! Unfortunately the statistics including my conversion rate and profile position dropped after having this student, which I think it's quite unfair for me.” -Kyo Jon, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“Firstly, I would like to share my experience about Preply. The people who work in this company are really friendly and wrote me back immediately. That's why I appreciate for your service.” -Tevfik, Trustpilot 5

“Everything is wrong with the app. Really difficult to use. Since I first started using it I haven't had a good experience. Luckily Hanna and another worker from the customer service solved preply mistakes.” -Cristian, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“Beware! When my tutor increased her fee they charged the increased amount for lessons that I had already paid for at the previous rate. They would not refund me for a lesson that I had NOT scheduled. *Another time they charged me for lessons that I did NOT schedule but refunded less than the amount taken from my card. Preply are crooks. Such a shame when my lessons and tutor were really great.” -Sue Wilson, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“The tutors I used were good but the subscription model drove me absolutely mad. There is no flexibility for when you might be busy with work, on holiday etc and you WILL end up losing money on lessons when they expire. Preply has lost a customer of 10 months due to this stupid model. Sort it out!!” -Helen, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“Bad business practices. If you choose to cancel your monthly subscription, they unilaterally cancel any scheduled classes you have already paid for. Extremely sketchy and deceiving.” -G P, Trustpilot&nbsp;

On Product Hunt, Preply has 80 reviews and a rating of 4.6 out of 5. These reviews are only either 5-starred or 1-starred. 5 starred reviews are made by satisfied users who liked the flexible schedules and the variety of tutors. However, 1-starred reviews are from disappointed users who criticize the platform because of the tutors being neglectful, unfair charges, and the poor support system. Here are some reviews about Preply on Product Hunt:&nbsp;

“I definitely recommend Preply for language learning, and not only. Here you may find an ideal tutor for you with a schedule that suits you. I constantly develop my English on Preply and learn Spanish from beginning, and I am happy about my tutors and progress.” -Vira Mazurkevych, Product Hunt&nbsp;

“I love Preply. I can easily find a language tutor that adapts to my time availability. I totally recommend it.” -Guillermo Suárez, Product Hunt&nbsp;

“...Preply can block your regular students without any reason. Once you have made the effort to work for free to get some regular students and to keep a small amount of your effort… this isn’t the end. Preply can ban your students without any reason. It did happen to me. 2 of my regular students where having lessons from the same campus. Preply thought a student made a double account and banned both accounts. I made a complain and Preply lied to me. « we give the chance to the student to explain himself ». By chance the student gave me a copy of Preply’s email and here is the way Preply communicate : « We want to notify that your profile is permanently blocked from the platform for violation of our referral policy of the terms. The decision is final and can’t be disputed. We reserve the right to discontinue the communication as well » Wow !...” -Gautier, Product Hunt&nbsp;

“Once you pay for subscription, even high rated tutors are becoming neglective and untrustworthy. Either they keep cancelling classes or showing up unprepared. Preply, on the other hand, only offers you to transfer your balance from one to another until you find someone who would bother to provide you an average class. And untill then you probably will spend all of your money for this possibility. You can't request any refund no matter how much you are disappointed” - Neval Sansur, Product Hunt&nbsp;

On Quora, people ask different questions on any topic you can imagine. Therefore, there are some questions for Preply as well. I will share one of these questions and its answer.

One user asked, “Is Preply safe?” and the question got 3 answers 2 of these answers are negative and one is positive.

 One user named Emily answered saying “No!! Please look elsewhere! We purchased lessons that were cancelled by our tutor at the last minute. I assumed we would be credited those unused hours since we had taken the necessary steps to report it. Turns out those hours expire after a month and you are charged for the next month. I didn't fully realize this until we had been charged for 14 lessons and had used 4. Terrible customer service, all done through email only. It is a scam, run far away!”

 Another user who is anonymous answered, “Probably not, I paid for a lesson, teacher never logged on, have not yet refunded my money, but have my payment info, suggest you do not use this site.”

 Apart from these, a user named Daryna answered “Yes, it is! Actually, Preply takes their customers’ profiles security very seriously. You can confidently use Preply platform and pay safely. All payments are processed by reliable financial platforms such as PayPal and Braintree. Besides, Preply offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which means if you are not satisfied with your lesson, Preply gives you a free replacement with another tutor or a full refund.”&nbsp;

From this question and the answers, I don’t think Preply is safe because the answers saying no are more. Also, on other platforms, there are many comments on Preply’s refund policy and the unfair subscription charges. Therefore, I don’t believe it is safe even though one Quora user claims it is.&nbsp;

On Play Store Preply App has over 12 thousand reviews. Most of these reviews are positive but we better have a look into both positive and negative reviews. Here, positive reviews are mostly about how easy it is to book a lesson and transfer the credits. On the other hand, negative reviews are about the technical issues behind the app and the unfair charging system. Here are some reviews on Preply:

“I can book lessons easely although I can't find sometimes how to schedule new lesson. The lessons happens ideally with tutor is showing shared screen where to write for me at the same time i can see tutor and myself as well. Unfortunatelly I can't do the same(share the screen)or I don't know to do it. I like I receive reminder before every lesson in email. Usefully I can transfer my credit to another tutor if neccesary.” Gunita, Play Store&nbsp;

“The app/website could be much better with small changes: ability to delete conversations, remove tutors from tutors page and to move our funds between tutors without having to contact support. A bigger change that I also think it's needed is a separed "chat" between "on class" and "off class". The conversation off class could remain as is and you could create a "notes" page where the teacher can write notes and info for the student to study while off class, so things don't get mixed.” -Catarina Gomes, Play Store&nbsp;

LiveXP is an online language learning platform that teaches 50 languages with over 2500 teachers. Even though the platform is not very popular, people still use it since there are many good reviews on it. But is it that good? Is it worth a try? To me, no to both. From my experience and what I’ve seen looking into more than 500 real user reviews, even though people make positive comments on it, most of them don’t provide real reasons for it. On the other hand, even though negative reviews are less than positive ones, they provide reasons why one shouldn’t use LiveXP. Read along to learn from my and others’ experiences! I’ve gathered some of the reviews I’ve looked into in Trustpilot, Reddit, Quora, Play Store, App Store, and Best Language Learning Apps.&nbsp;

Like everything LiveXP has its pros and cons. I will share them with you so that you can decide which one weighs more.&nbsp;

I think LiveXP’s best feature is being able to learn different languages with just one subscription. This is also why I wanted to try out the platform in the first place because I wanted to learn German alongside improving my English speaking. With this quality of LiveXP, I was able to do both and was very satisfied with it. However, I don’t believe it is an ideal platform since even though this is a good feature, I think a platform focused only on one language would be more beneficial.

From my experience, I can say LiveXp’s worst feature is to withdraw money from your card without getting your approval first. I enjoyed the platform for a while, but then I wanted to try out other platforms because I didn’t think it was the best. So, I stated that I didn’t want to renew my subscription. However, they renewed it anyway and withdrew the money from my account. I tried to reach out to customer service and get a refund, but I couldn’t. Since trust is very important to me with a platform like this, I don’t and won’t recommend the platform to anyone.

On Trustpilot, LiveXP has 119 reviews and a rating of 3.9 out of 5. 73 percent of these reviews are positive, while 25% are negative. On positive reviews, users claim they like the platform because the tutors and the support team are good, and it is helpful to learn languages. On the other hand, in negative reviews, users talk about the support department not being supportive, LiveXp caring only about the money, not showing price details, and non-native speakers introducing themselves as natives. Normally, I would share 4-5 starred reviews alongside 1-2 starred reviews. However, I realized on Trustpilot 4 starred reviews and 2 starred reviews are only from the tutors. Therefore, I won’t share these with you since I look at the platform as a student, not a teacher.

“Very good platform, good service with quickly responses and support. My tutor is very pleasant, intelligent, professional, we are similar in many views, so it is very interesting and effective to talk with her” -Marina Kupchik, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“LiveXP is an awesome platform for language learners. I really enjoyed this protocol and I love it!” Crypto Lover, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“Don’t waste your time. Support is beyond bad. Find a different platform students and teachers, this LiveXP is not good and is on its way to being shut down if they continue to treat students and teachers like euro signs. Sad stuff.” -JoMo, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“I am looking the tutor platform as a consumer, but I do not think it is a good choice.

- price details are hidden. I could not understand how I can make a decision without information about price.

- subscription model. Subscription model is applicable when subject of subscribing is uncountable - it could be time or storage space or some service. What is the reason in subscription for 8 lesson? isn't it the same as "buy 8 lessons" - pay as you go model with advance payment. But pay as you go is flexible, whereas subscription is not convenient at all if student is sick, has a trip or some other similar circumstances.” -Sergii Strikhar, Trustpilot&nbsp;

“I have the impression they’re not checking the teachers who are registering, a teacher claiming to be a “native English speaker” making 3 mistakes in one sentence; an Italian teacher not knowing the plural of compound forms! I contacted the customer service and I’ve been answered “you don’t have to be on this platform if you don’t want to learn a language!” instead of saying “thank you, we’ll start an investigation!” I would not book any lessons with them even for free!” -P H, Trustpilot&nbsp;

On Reddit, only entries about LiveXP are either from the platform itself or from tutors. That is why, unfortunately, I cannot share reviews from Reddit. However, there are a few entries on Quora, and I will share one of them with you. One user asked if anyone tried LiveXP and, if so, how their experience was. Another user replied comprehensively, and I will summarize this answer for you. This person explained what LiveXP is and how it works before talking about its advantages and disadvantages. I understand from this answer that this person believes LiveXP being accessible to anyone no matter where you are and the community of language learners being supportive are the platform’s advantages. However, he believes the quality of the lessons depends on the tutor rather than the platform, and this is a disadvantage. I agree with him because I believe a platform like LiveXP should hire tutors very carefully and not leave the students’ effectiveness to chance. 

7. LiveXP Play Store and App Store Reviews&nbsp;

	On Play Store, LiveXP has 420 reviews and a rating of 4.3 out of 5. Here, users who made positive reviews talk about the platform being user-friendly and helping with their English, while disappointed users made comments on the app crashing and the quality of the tutors. Here are some of the reviews made on Play Store:

“The app is user friendly and easy to manage for tutors and students!” -Jose Angelo Cifuentes Escobar, Play Store&nbsp;

“Focusing on one language or becoming a polyglot and learning multiple languages at once has interested me as a student who loves languages because all I need to do is schedule my learning time and go to set classes.” -Brooks Dania, Play store&nbsp;

“The platform is OK but.... They go overboard with the verification for money withdrawal even for paypal..... Geez I don't need all this even for my bank. It's absolutely ridiculous. How about just letting people log in to their accounts from the platform instead making them jump through hoops. So annoying. And then the hypocritical rules about the intro videos. My got taken down yet others violating rules is OK. Oh and people teaching languages with the wrong accent is OK too. Ridiculous” -SZ S, Play Store&nbsp;

“I just created a new account and I was excited, only to be met with disappointment. The app keeps crashing no matter what I do. I tried restarting my phone a few times, I tried reinstalling the app a few times as well but it still keeps crashing. I hope you can fix this because the idea/concept of this app has a lot of potential.” -Duwen John Delos Reyes, Play Store&nbsp;

On App Store, LiveXp has only 71 reviews and a rating of 4.8 out of 5. Since almost all of the reviews are from tutors, and that is not our perspective, unfortunately, I will not be sharing reviews from App Store with you.

8. bestlanguagelearningapps.com LiveXP Ranking

On Best Language Learning Apps, LiveXP has a rating of 7.1 out of 10 and is in 5th place among 7 online English learning platforms. Here, LiveXP has 7 reviews, and 3 of them are positive while 4 are negative. Positive reviews are about the platform helping learn English and the support system being supportive. On the other hand, negative reviews are about the platform renewing users’ subscriptions without approval, not making a refund, and tutors being unprofessional. Here are the reviews so you can see for yourself:

“I hadn't heard much about live xp, so I learned it thanks to my friend. But I still decided to try, I was satisfied with the lessons, the teachers are also very interested and relevant, the lessons are fun and you can talk and chat with the teacher as you wish.” -Arzu, bestlanguagelearningapps.com&nbsp;

NovaKid is a platform that offers specialized English lessons for children aged 4-12. Students can receive lessons from experienced teachers online 24/7. NovaKid provides flexible subscription options.&nbsp;

Currently, NovaKid does not offer active campaigns to its users. And yes, we are aware that NovaKid prices are not very budget-friendly. Therefore, if you want to try NovaKid, you may need to take advantage of a discount code. But does NovaKid offer enough discounts? Or Is it a reliable platform? We will try to answer these questions in this blog.

To get a 20% discount on NovaKid’s 3-month plans, use the code ‘NovaKid20’. Also, if two children of yours get their education on NovaKid, you will get a 10% discount. However, this offer is avaliable only for subscriptions with 2+ lessons a week per child.

Based on the user reviews I have read online, it seems that NovaKid discount codes are not actively working, and it can be challenging to establish reliable communication with customer service when seeking information or addressing concerns. In this section of our article, we will share some user comments with you. However, for detailed information and to learn about users' opinions on NovaKid click <a href="https://bestlanguagelearningapps.com/blog/is-nova-kid-worth-doing-my-daughter-s-experience-with-nova-kid?utm_placement=anchor&amp;utm_blog=/blog/nova-kid-promo-code-how-big-of-a-discount-do-they-give">here</a>.

To get a clear understanding of what people think of NovaKid, its discounts, and its refund policy, I’ve looked into Trustpilot and Xolvie. Trustpilot is a platform where users can make real comments on a platform and Xolvie is a platform where users can express their complaints about a product or service they’ve purchased.

On Trustpilot, I’ve seen that unsatisfied users are complaining about NovaKid’s customer service not being reachable unless you will pay to the platform. Also, many comments on Trustpilot are about the platform not being truthful to its customers when it comes to campaigns aka paying less. I believe this shows that the platform cares more about the money they get rather than their customers. Here are some of the reviews I’ve come across on Trustpilot:&nbsp;

“Bad..Bad..Manipulative..WATCH OUT! I had twice a day on everyday basis, a phone call from Novakid in order to subscribe..Once, I sent them an email to ask for subscription..I was replied in *4 minutes* !!! I have been told, that I may have a free cancelation in one and half month with a full refund. Last week, I've sent 5 emails asking to cancel the subscription.. Novakid replied by an email that "they are busy..and will call me later"... AS OTHERS WROTE HERE..NOVAKID HELP LINE IS ONLY TO HELP CUSTOMERS PAY”. -Shirin, Trustpilot

“I requested a refund. No response from July 6. Communicate well only until we become customers” -Astanei, Trustpilot

“My daughter have used Nokakid for several months, and the teaching experience is acceptable for an online platform. My low rating is due to the fact that Novakid offers Promotions with hidden conditions: 50% cashback that (*) gets added to your bonus. Of course in the promotion email, there is no reference of how you can use your bonus. Only later on you discover that only part of the cashback can be used, and there is an expirity limit. When complaining about this, they acknoledged that it could be confusing, but argue that is technically impossible to give you what was offered (without restrictions). To me it looks clearly a cheating strategy, since you do not get what was offered to you, and the hidden conditions were not written in the promotion email (you need to find them in the company website). This is a clear scam, and they take advantage to the fact that you cannot complain in your country, since it is an online company. So I just will like to advise you to keep away from them.” -David Oliva, Trustpilot

On Xolvie, I guess since it is relatively a new platform, there are only 2 complaints about NovaKid. One of them is about how NovaKid deceived the user saying they could use their purchased hours for as long as they wish. Here is the complaint so you can see it for yourself:

“On 19/12/2022,&nbsp; purchased 96 hours of lessons for 8544 TL. While buying this package, I was repeatedly told by the sales representative that I had no time limit on the use of lesson hours. Today, on 03/05/2023, my remaining 86 hours of standard balance was reset to zero on the grounds that I had not planned lessons for 90 days without any warning. I think this is a mistake and I think the company will revise whatever it is. Because I was not told about 90 days,&nbsp; I had the right to use my lesson hours in the package I bought indefinitely, why are my rights being usurped for a situation I was unaware of, on the contrary, it was stated that it was not. I want all my reset rights to be refunded.” -Burak, Xolvie

3. Online English Learning Platforms Discounts

As mentioned before, there is currently no active summer campaign for NovaKid. However, with the code 'NovaKid20', you can get a 20% discount on 3-month packages, or if both of your children receive English education from NovaKid, you can enjoy a 10% discount. However, keep in mind this discount is only valid if both your kids take more than 2 lessons per week.

Let's take a look at the discounts offered by other online English learning applications. Lingoda offers a 25% discount while Cambly offers a 20% discount. On the other hand, EF English Live offers a 20% discount, and Flalingo offers a 60% discount which is the highest discount among these platforms. If you want to learn the discount codes, click&nbsp;<a href="https://bestlanguagelearningapps.com/offer?utm_placement=anchor&amp;utm_blog=/blog/nova-kid-promo-code-how-big-of-a-discount-do-they-give">here</a>.

The Highest Discount of the Year from Flalingo!

Among the 11 platforms listed on Best Language Learning Apps, Flalingo receives the highest ratings from users in 2024. Not only that, but it is&nbsp; currently offering the&nbsp;biggest discount of the year to its users. To have the opportunity to have lessons with expert teachers from anywhere at any time with Flalingo and benefit from a 60% discount, all you need to do is use the code 'WINTER'. To look into Flalingo user <a href="https://bestlanguagelearningapps.com/blog/flalingo-2023-review-a-good-option-for-learning-english-or-just-a-money-trap?utm_placement=anchor&amp;utm_blog=/blog/nova-kid-promo-code-how-big-of-a-discount-do-they-give">reviews</a> and its <a href="https://bestlanguagelearningapps.com/blog/flalingo-discounts-the-platform-offering-the-biggest-discount-of-the-year?utm_placement=anchor&amp;utm_blog=/blog/nova-kid-promo-code-how-big-of-a-discount-do-they-give">campaigns</a> check out our related articles.

In our opinion, despite the quality of education provided by NovaKid, its high prices, ineffective discount codes, and unresponsive customer service make the platform impractical. Therefore, it also proves to be an unreliable platform. In short, if you want your child to receive a good education and prefer it to be from a quality and reliable platform, we recommend exploring alternatives to NovaKid. You can decide what is best for both your child and yourself.

Is Flalingo Kids better than Novakid?

Practical guide to choosing an English course for your child's age, including age-based learning needs, online lesson criteria, parent progress tracking and weekly routines.

How to Choose an English Course for Your Child's Age

A parent checklist for selecting an age-appropriate English course.

How to choose an English course for your child's age

Identify your child's age and current level

Consider both developmental stage and current English proficiency rather than using age alone.

Check the lesson method

Confirm that lesson length, activities and language goals are suitable for the child's age and attention span.

Evaluate speaking opportunities

Ask how much English the child will actively produce during each lesson.

Review teacher experience and continuity

Look for teachers experienced with children and check whether the child can continue with a suitable teacher.

Check parent progress reporting

Confirm that reports explain what the child learned, strengths and areas needing practice.

Use a trial lesson

Observe the child's engagement, comprehension, comfort and willingness to speak before choosing a long-term plan.

The best approach combines age-appropriate activities with regular communication. Younger children learn through play, songs, stories and repetition. School-age learners can add reading, structured vocabulary and projects, while teenagers need discussion, independence and real goals.

What is the best way to teach English to a child?

Children can begin playful English exposure during the preschool years when the method is short, positive and interactive. Starting later is not a failure; older learners can also progress effectively through clear goals and consistent practice.

When should children start learning English?

Consider the child's total screen use. For younger children, keep lessons short and interactive, and balance them with movement, sleep, family interaction and offline play. Educational quality and adult involvement matter as well as duration.

How much screen time is appropriate for online English?

Neither format is automatically better. Online one-to-one lessons can provide individual speaking time and wider teacher choice, while in-person courses can offer physical movement and peer interaction. Teacher quality, group size and child comfort matter most.

Are online or in-person English lessons better?

Track comprehension, vocabulary recall, sentence length, reading confidence and willingness to speak. Teacher feedback, lesson recordings, CEFR-based assessments and detailed progress reports can help parents see changes over time.

An early-childhood English teacher reviews what happens before, during and after a Flalingo Kids lesson, including age-based activities, teacher continuity and parent reports.

What Happens in a Flalingo Kids Lesson?

The lessons are live and one-to-one, but the activities change with age and level. Younger learners may use songs, movement, pictures and short responses, while older children move toward longer speaking, reading and project work.

What does a Flalingo Kids lesson look like?

There is no reliable fixed timeline. Parents may first notice smaller changes such as following instructions more easily, remembering familiar vocabulary or answering with less support. Progress depends on the child's starting point, lesson frequency, teacher relationship and exposure between lessons.

How long does it take to see progress?

Flalingo Kids allows repeat bookings with a preferred teacher when suitable times are available. Continuity can be useful once a good teacher-child relationship has been established.

Can my child continue with the same teacher?

The first-lesson report examined for this review included the child's starting level, teacher observations, participation, listening, speaking confidence, vocabulary, sentence building, strengths and development areas.

How is my child's progress measured?

The private lesson format and teacher continuity can create a lower-pressure environment, particularly for shy children. Confidence still develops gradually through successful communication, appropriate feedback and repeated practice.

Can Flalingo Kids help with speaking confidence?

The current Flalingo Kids booking flow offers a free trial lesson, although campaign conditions can change. The trial is best used to evaluate teacher compatibility, lesson pacing and the child's response to the format.
