One-on-one video lessons from roughly $5–30/hr depending on the language and the teacher's credentials. It is the single fastest way to get real speaking practice, and the reason most self-study plans stall is that they skip this step. Community tutors are cheap conversation partners; professional teachers are worth it if you want structure, homework and error correction.

Preply

Multi-language

Large tutor marketplace with subscription-style lesson packages.

Details

100,000+ tutors across 120+ subjects, with a free replacement if your first tutor is a bad fit. The main structural difference from italki is that Preply pushes weekly lesson subscriptions and takes a large commission from tutors, which some learners consider a reason to prefer italki. Worth comparing side by side for your language — prices, availability and tutor quality differ per market rather than per platform.

Established online Ukrainian school: small-group courses, 1-on-1 lessons, speaking club.

speakinglisteninggrammar
Details

One of the larger dedicated Ukrainian schools for foreigners, running levelled group courses, private lessons, short conversation sessions and a kids' programme with a sizeable teaching staff. It is the straightforward option when self-study has stalled and you need someone correcting you. Its YouTube channel publishes free comprehensible-input and tips videos and was active through August 2026, and there is a free placement test. Course pricing is not listed publicly — you have to request a consultation, which is worth factoring in.
