They claim to have since helped thousands of language teachers and students from over 100 countries. Verbalplanet&#8217;s legitimacy is shown by being registered on <a href=\"https:\/\/find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk\/company\/05601791\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Companies House<\/a>, having a <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.trustpilot.com\/review\/verbalplanet.com?sort=recency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trustpilot<\/a> score of 4.6 out of 5, and winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/learn_italian_online\/verbalplanet\/prweb5019734.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consecutive awards<\/a> for their Italian language instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-verbalplanet-work\">How Does Verbalplanet Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Verbalplanet is an <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">online marketplace<\/a> where language teachers create and list a profile to attract student bookings. Most major languages are catered for, as well as business language training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teacher profile visibility and rankings are determined by an algorithm that factors in your booking history,  how recently you completed a lesson, whether the class was a free trial\/discounted or paid for at full price, and any incoming links to your listing from external sources (e.g. by promoting yourself through social media, forums or a personal website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The tutor with the most-recently completed paid lesson is shown in 1st place for each language in the search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Verbalplanet online teaching<\/strong> is conducted through 3 video conferencing platforms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Skype<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-teams\/group-chat-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Teams<\/a>, with teachers providing written feedback after each lesson (shown in this short video overview):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Verbalplanet.com : Online Language Lessons on Skype\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4IYwi7R5MLw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verbalplanet-salary-information\">Verbalplanet Salary Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teachers decide what <strong>Verbalplanet pay rate<\/strong> they wish to charge for their lessons. The company claims the average is US$20 per 40-minute class, with new teachers advised to start on $10-$15 (or in pounds\/euros depending on your location), though there are those that advertise less (and more) than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Be aware that the company pushes the use of free or discounted trial lessons and a student loyalty scheme of up to 15%, both of which will affect your income. You have the choice not to utilize these incentives, but will be up against teachers who do when competing for bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-are-verbalplanet-payments-issued\">How are Verbalplanet Payments Issued?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You may request a payout with a $10 balance or more, or this is generated automatically once the amount exceeds $200. Payments are sent via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/uk\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PayPal<\/a>, which can take up to 30 days and may add transaction and currency conversion fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For students who have only made a part payment when booking your class, you will need to invoice them through your teacher dashboard. Student payments in full are automatically credited to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-there-a-verbalplanet-commission-fee\">Is There a Verbalplanet Commission Fee?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Most <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">teacher marketplaces<\/a> charge some sort of commission fee for advertising your services on their platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbalplanet.com\/tutorhome.asp#:~:text=Ultimate%20flexibility.,nothing%20to%20pay%20to%20us.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verbalplanet boldly states<\/a> that they are <em>&#8220;free to use with no membership fee and you keep 100% of what you earn with nothing to pay to us&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, whilst this is technically true that no deductions are taken, the company does add a booking fee on top of the lesson price advertised to students. It is thus a silent commission you will have to accommodate into your final Verbalplanet pricing, perhaps lowering your own take-home pay rate in order to not price yourself above competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verbalplanet-hours-and-schedule\">Verbalplanet Hours and Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Verbalplanet teachers decide their schedule, from 24 hours to 10 weeks ahead. With an international client base, there are no limits to what times (24\/7) you make yourself available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lessons start on the hour and are advertised to students as being 40 minutes in length, though the work planner allocates 45-minute slots (as can be seen from my teacher dashboard below):<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Verbalplanet schedule planner\" class=\"wp-image-12111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45-1320x743.webp 1320w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-45.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verbalplanet-teaching-requirements\">Verbalplanet Teaching Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are virtually no <strong>Verbalplanet tutor requirements<\/strong>, beyond having accounts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Skype<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-teams\/group-chat-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Teams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The company does state that due to the high number of applicants, they only approve profiles that &#8220;demonstrate significant language teaching experience and supporting qualifications&#8221;, though they don&#8217;t mention any specific criteria in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verbalplanet-application-process\">Verbalplanet Application Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To apply to <strong>become a Verbalplanet tutor<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbalplanet.com\/tutorregister.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register with the following details<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Surname<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Username<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Password<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Date of Birth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Native Language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Currency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">City<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Timezone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Once you have confirmed your email, you will be able to login to the teacher dashboard where you need to submit your profile for approval once the following sections have been completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add a Photo\n<ul>\n<li>Pictures must be JPEG format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Show Your Availability\n<ul>\n<li>Click a slot to make it available.
