Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a certificate or degree to apply?

We accept tutors with both professional training and no training at all.

If you don't have any certificate or training, then you should prove that your command of the language you want to teach is native or near-native.

Your motivation and dedication to empower your students through languages is the most important "credential" for us 🤘. ‍

How can I apply?

Please fill out this form which only takes about 15 minutes of your time. We'll get back to you as soon as possible to schedule a 30-minute personal call.

Once we both are confident that it's a good match, we'll ask you for more information including videos to make your profile as exciting as possible. You can set your own profile image, availability, lesson prices and more after getting access to the platform.

The entire process shouldn't take longer than 5-7 days.

How many hours per day do I have to teach?

You decide.

Once you get access to our platform, you can set your own availability. The more hours you open up, the higher chances of getting new students you have. Also changing your working hours too soon might confuse your students. It’s better to set a repeatable schedule that your students can get used to.

If you need to take time off, you’ll be able to set vacation breaks as well.

How will I get students?

In short, rather effortlessly.

We'll find motivated students for you from all over the world. Our unique matching and tutor discovery flow will make sure that you get students who like your teaching style and personality. To maximize your chances of standing out, you'll need to keep your profile up to date, exciting and informative.

Also, the more availability you open up, the higher the chances of converting new students.

If you do not have any experience tutoring yet, you could offer a lower rate in the beginning to attract students. We'll provide all the necessary tips and suggestions once you get there.

How much do you charge?

Tutors who join before January 2023 get a lifetime benefit of 15 fee 🎉.

We charge 15-25% from each lesson booked on our platform. The fee depends on multiple factors:
- The more active students you get the less is your fee
- Your time on Heylama - we reduce 1% of your fee for every year you teach on Heylama
- Your contributions to the community - we reduce your fees by 2% if you're actively contributing to the community by creating and sharing content

How do I get paid?

Once your students confirm lessons, your earnings will instantly update and you can check how much you've made in a given month.

We wire earnings for each month in the first week of the following month. We send the money to your bank account that you specify when setting up your profile.

How do I pay taxes?

As you're an independent contractor on the platform, you'll need to take care of filing taxes on your end. We'll help you by providing detailed income statements and by giving you access to other tutors who can share their own experience with you.

Which languages are open for application?

Right now we are starting with the German language and you'll be able to start accepting students from November, 2022. Many other languages will follow very soon! If you want to teach English, Spanish or French, you can already apply as these language will become available in the coming 2023 year.
