Is it really free?
Yes. Our mentors are volunteers who give their time. There are no hidden fees, and no bank card is needed.
What if my English is very basic?
That is fine. Many of our mentors work with complete beginners. They speak simply and explain patiently. What matters is practicing, not being perfect.
How long are the sessions?
Each session is 30 minutes: enough for real practice without exhaustion. You can book several sessions a week if you want more.
What equipment do I need?
A computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and microphone. The video platform runs in your browser; there is nothing to download.
How will I know a mentor has been found?
We will email you as soon as we match you with a mentor who fits your level and schedule.
Can I practice other languages?
Yes. Through TEEI Language you can also practice German, Polish, French, Spanish, and Italian with volunteer native speakers.
