About Verbling
Verbling is a tutor marketplace with more than 2,000 teachers in over 70 languages: you choose a French teacher, book a time on their calendar and have the lesson in Verbling's own video classroom, on the web or in its iOS app. French lessons start from €6.23 an hour on its site, each teacher sets their own rate, and it says you can get to know a teacher and discuss your goals free of charge first. Tutors teach every level. It suits a learner who wants regular one-to-one speaking with a real person. It does not give you a course structure of its own, so the quality of the lessons depends on the teacher you pick.
