How do I know if an online English tutor is good?

Take a trial lesson and judge three things: did you speak for most of it, were you corrected in a way you understood, and did you leave with a clear plan and an honest assessment of your level?

Is an academy better than an independent tutor?

Not automatically. An academy usually adds structure — level tests, plans, reports, replacement teachers if someone is ill — while a good independent tutor can be excellent and cheaper. Choose by what your goal needs.

Does Englify publish teacher profiles?

Not at the moment. Teachers are matched to your level and goal after the free assessment, and you meet your teacher during the free trial class before committing.

Should I choose a native English speaker?

Not necessarily. For beginners, a teacher who can also explain in French or Darija is often more effective; what matters most is teaching experience with your profile and goal.

How much do English lessons cost in Morocco?

At Englify, small-group online English classes are the most affordable option and private one-to-one classes cost more per hour, because a private teacher works with one student only. Current group and private prices are confirmed on WhatsApp (+212 724 744 137) and on our prices page, since they depend on the format, the number of hours per week and the length of the plan. The trial class is free and no card is required.

How to Choose an Online English Tutor in Morocco

Choosing a tutor online is mostly about asking the right questions before you pay. Here is the checklist we would use ourselves.

In short

To choose an online English tutor in Morocco, judge seven things: relevant teaching experience, whether they specialise in what you need (speaking, Business English, IELTS, children), how the lesson is actually run, what you receive between lessons, the schedule they can genuinely offer, the price per hour and what it includes, and reviews from real students. Always take a trial lesson first and check whether you spoke for most of it — in a good speaking lesson, the learner talks more than the teacher.

Key facts

Take a trial lesson before paying for any package
In a speaking lesson, the learner should talk more than the teacher
Match the tutor's specialisation to your goal, not just their price
Ask what you receive after each lesson: notes, corrections, homework
Check whether the schedule they promise is genuinely repeatable each week
Compare prices per hour, and ask what is included

1. Start from your goal, not from the tutor

"I want to improve my English" is too vague to choose a tutor with. Speaking confidently in meetings, passing IELTS with a band target, helping a nine-year-old with school English and preparing for an interview next month are four different jobs, and they suit different teachers.

Write your goal in one sentence with a deadline. Every question below becomes easier to answer once you have it.

2. Experience and specialisation

Has the tutor taught your profile before — adults, children, professionals, exam candidates?
Do they work with Moroccan learners, and can they explain in French or Darija when a beginner is stuck?
For exams, do they know the current format and how the scoring works?
For Business English, can they work from your own emails, meetings and sector vocabulary?

3. How the lesson is actually run

This is the part most learners forget to ask about. Find out how a typical session is structured, how much of it you will spend speaking, and how corrections are handled — during the conversation, or collected for the end.

A quick test in the trial lesson: at the end, ask yourself who spoke more. If it was the teacher, and your goal is speaking, that is the wrong lesson for you.

4. What happens between lessons

Do you get notes or a written summary of what was covered?
Is homework set and corrected, or just suggested?
Can you see what you have paid for and used, or is it tracked in someone's notebook?
Is there any way to ask a question between sessions?

5. Schedule, reliability and format

Ask for the actual slots available each week, not just "flexible". Then ask what happens when you or the tutor cancel: how much notice is needed, and whether a missed lesson is lost or rescheduled. This single question separates a hobby tutor from a professional service.

Also check the platform. Live lessons on a stable tool like Google Meet, with a camera on both sides, are very different from a chat-based arrangement or recorded videos.

6. Price and what it includes

Compare price per hour, not per session, and ask what the price includes: level test, plan, session reports, homework correction, platform access. A slightly higher hourly rate that includes structure and follow-up is often cheaper per unit of progress than a low rate with nothing around it.

Our separate guide on private class costs explains the factors that legitimately raise or lower a quote in Morocco.

7. Reviews and the trial lesson

Read reviews from learners with a goal like yours, and treat a trial lesson as the real interview. In the trial you should end up with three things: an honest statement of your level, a clear idea of what the programme would be, and a price with no surprises attached.

At Englify the trial class and the level assessment are free and no card is required, and our student reviews are published on the site. We do not currently publish individual teacher profiles: teachers are assigned to your level and goal after the assessment, and you meet your teacher in the free trial before deciding anything.
