Who you'd be talking to. English learners.

Most learners aren't doing English for fun. There's a job at the other end, or a visa, or a country they want to move to. Apps and schools handle the grammar fine. The conversation bit's harder. That's why they'd pay for time with you.

Works with international tech clients. Wants weekly chats with no stakes.

Yuki from Tokyo

Yuki · 34 · Tokyo

700+ days on Duolingo. I can recognise the vocab fine. I still freeze the moment a native speaker talks to me.

Wants real conversation. The kind an app can't fake.

Speaking made me so anxious. I knew the answer. I just blanked the second she asked.

Retaking IELTS in three months. Wants weekly speaking practice until the panic stops winning.

1.5 billion people are learning English right now. Brazil, Japan, Morocco, India, Vietnam, every country you can think of. They want better jobs, university places, lives somewhere new. Apps and schools cover the grammar fine. They can't cover a real conversation.

That's why they'd pay for time with you.

But I'm not a teacher. We know.
