What stands out in the English market
Do native English speakers charge more on Preply?
Yes. Native English speakers, 75% of the tutors in the listing, list at a median $35 an hour, against $24 for tutors whose native language is another. The gap holds at every level of experience: $30 against $20 under 500 lessons, $35 against $25 at 500 to 2,000 lessons and $35 against $25 at 2,000 to 5,000 lessons.
Which English specialties list at higher rates?
Tutors whose headline mentions pronunciation or accent ($40), interview preparation ($35) and TOEFL ($34.50) list highest, against $30 for all English tutors. Headlines mentioning conversation ($26), IELTS ($28) and TEFL ($28) sit lower. These are the listed prices of tutors who chose those words; adding a word to a headline doesn't raise a price.
Do English Super Tutors charge more?
From 500 lessons on, yes: Super Tutors list $4 to $6 more than tutors with similar experience ($35 against $29 at 500 to 2,000 lessons, $34 against $30 at 2,000 to 5,000 lessons and $35 against $30 over 5,000 lessons). Under 500 lessons, there's no real difference.
Medians of listed prices in the same scrape. Where experience could explain a difference, tutors are compared with others who have taught a similar number of lessons, and groups of fewer than 30 tutors are left out.
Do experienced tutors charge more?
Tutors with under 100 lessons list a median of $25 an hour; tutors with 5,000+ lessons list $32.
Lessons taught is a career total and the price is today's, so this shows what tutors at each level list now, not what more lessons would do to a price. Bands with fewer than 30 tutors show no figures.
How busy are English tutors at each price?
English tutors teach about as many lessons at every price: a median of 43 to 51 a month.
Lessons a month come from the change in each tutor's lesson count between scrapes 64 days apart, counting only the 227 tutors whose price held. Longtime students can stay on an older price, so read this as how busy tutors at each price are, not how many new students that price brings. These tutors stayed near the top of Preply's search results, so they are busier than the market as a whole.
Super Tutors and popular tutors
39%

8%
carry Preply's "Booked N times recently" badge: 45 Popular, 18 Very popular and 8 Super popular. Preply doesn't say how recent "recently" is, so the badge marks busy tutors without giving a rate.
