We value student-centered lessons with a strong focus on student production and prefer an inductive approach. Prepare a practical activity and avoid long explanations or theoretical lectures. The lesson should be interactive, encourage student participation, and cover a small part of the topic effectively.

Yes, you may use visuals if you find them helpful, but please avoid using videos. The demo lesson lasts up to 10 minutes, and we want to make the most of that time.

We don’t offer one fixed rate - compensation is determined individually and updated quarterly. When setting the rate, we take into account several factors: the teacher’s experience, availability, performance during the demo lesson, and the type of contract. Estimated monthly pay (for part-time or full-time work) may range from 1,000 to 9.600 PLN (240 to 2100 EUR)

We offer cooperation based on either a B2B contract or a contract of mandate

completing the profile on the platform,
setting availability,
getting familiar with the materials,
showing how to start and end a lesson.
The teacher receives all necessary information before conducting their first class.
3.Is the onboarding paid?
The onboarding is not paid. It is designed to efficiently and clearly help the teacher smoothly integrate into Fluentbe.

Yes, as long as you have a stable internet connection, a quiet environment, and a neat background. It is important that there are no distracting noises or interruptions, and that people are not walking behind you during the lesson.
