Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our eLearn.ai services
eLearn.ai is a unique online English school that focuses specifically on teaching real-life American English. Why is that cool? Many students find American English much easier to understand than British or Australian. Moreover, it uses simpler grammar and a shorter and clearer sentence structure. This makes American English much easier to learn and understand, and students tend to grasp it much faster.
Many European schools and language centers make students learn grammar rules and endless word lists instead of focusing more on listening and speaking. They do not provide real-world knowledge. As a result, many students think they have been learning for so many years but still don't know the language.
eLearn.ai works with tutors who are native U.S. English speakers, as well as tutors from Europe who have significant experience traveling, working with foreigners, business/IT professionals, and teaching real-world skills.

eLearn.ai gives each student has 3 free trials for 3 different tutors, 30 minutes each. These trials are free for tutors, students, and eLearn.ai (no one gets charged or paid), and are a safe way to check if student and tutor are fit for each other. For many students, it is a difficult and painful process to find a tutor who fits their needs, and many of them come to us disappointed in their previous experience with online learning. While it won't take much of your time, it will help you and the student feel more comfortable during 1-hour long paid lessons.
During these lessons, you can discuss with a student their goals, evaluate their level (through a test or by just speaking with them), figure out their main problems, and tell them more about your approach. After that, they will buy hours with you if everything works.
