About
LinguMon connects people who want to learn a language with people who can teach it, one lesson at a time. There is no course to enrol in, no curriculum we insist on, and no algorithm deciding who you should study with.
Learning a language stalls in a predictable place. You understand more than you can say, apps stop helping around the point where sentences get complicated, and the thing that unblocks it is talking to a person who corrects you. That hour is hard to arrange and easy to skip, so most of what we built is about making it easy to arrange and awkward to skip: a real tutor, a fixed time, and someone expecting you.
Everything else follows from that. Lessons are one-to-one because the value is in the correction, and correction does not scale to a class of twelve. Tutors set their own prices because they know what their time is worth better than we do. Reviews come only from students who finished a lesson, because a rating you cannot trust is worse than no rating.
LinguMon takes a 20% commission on each lesson. That is the only way money reaches us. We do not charge students a membership fee, we do not sell placement in search results, and we do not run advertising against the tutor list.
The consequence is worth being clear about: we earn when a lesson happens and goes well enough that you book another. Sending you to a tutor who is wrong for you costs us the same as it costs you.
LinguMon is a marketplace, not a language school. We do not award qualifications, we do not accredit the tutors listed here, and we do not promise a level by a date. Tutors are independent, they teach in their own way, and the credentials on a profile are the tutor's own to stand behind.
What we do take responsibility for is the mechanism: that a booking holds a real slot, that the classroom opens when it should, that money moves the way this site says it does, and that a review cannot be bought or deleted.
LinguMon is early. The tutor list grows as applications are reviewed, and the number of languages with real coverage grows with it. Rather than pretend otherwise, the site shows counts that come straight from the database, and a language only appears in the directory once somebody is actually available to teach it.
If something here is confusing, broken, or does not work the way this page describes, we would rather hear it than not.
Browse the tutors, read a couple of profiles properly, and book a trial with the one you would actually want to talk to for an hour.
