Last year’s Preply Tutor Conference was one of the biggest online language teaching events of the year! Over 4,200 tutors and Preply leaders from around the world joined us for more than 50 inspiring talks and networking sessions.
We’re excited to announce that preparations are already underway for the 2025 Tutor Conference—and this year's event will be more focused and more impactful! Expect industry experts, Preply tutor speakers and even more inspiring, practical content. It’s your chance to be part of something truly global.
Once again, we’re looking for inspiring tutors like you to share your expertise, knowledge and experiences. Visit our speaker sign-up page or see below to explore potential topics and submit your proposal.
When selecting talks, we will be prioritising the ones that focus on the following topics:
🚀 Attracting students & delivering successful trial lessons
What helped you get your first trial bookings? How do you turn trial students into steady ones? What do you wish you’d known or focused on in your first month?
We’re looking for talks that help tutors build strong foundations. Share your experience in creating an eye-catching profile, setting a price that reflects your value, leading trial lessons with confidence, and motivating students to continue learning with you.
🎓 Growing through professional development
What’s made the biggest difference in your growth as a tutor? Do you have a go-to lesson-planning approach? How do you support niche learners, such as working professionals or young learners?
We’re looking for talks that support tutors in building confidence and developing as a tutor. Whether you’ve expanded your teaching skills through certification, taken a course that transformed your approach to feedback, or found your stride in a new niche, we’d love to hear what’s worked for you.
🌱 Sustaining long-term success
How have you scaled your tutoring income over time? What habits help you stay balanced and avoid burnout? What tools or strategies help you teach smarter—not harder?
We’re looking for talks that focus on long-term growth and fulfilment. Share your insights on retaining students, building community, applying advanced teaching strategies, or how you’ve stayed passionate about tutoring while growing your business.
✨ Use AI to drive their progress in any of the areas above
