Finding a teacher

Use the Teachers page to see who you already learn with, discover new teachers, book group class lessons, and inquire about one-to-one study times.

Who this is for

Students looking for a teacher, or keeping track of the teachers they already work with.

What this page answers

Where do I find teachers on Locuto.PRO?
How do I filter teachers with open times this week?
How do I book a group class meeting?
How do I ask a teacher about one-to-one lessons?
How do I track my booking requests?
Why can't I see a particular teacher?

Prerequisites

a student account (or explore as a guest and register during booking)
a study language on your profile (the suggestions use it)

On locuto.pro, when you have no active classes, click Find a teacher on your Today start card, or navigate directly to /teachers. (On a school's custom branded domain, the public teacher directory is disabled so students interact only with teachers belonging to that school).

The Teachers page provides two tabs:

My teachers

The people you already learn with, gathered from your enrollments and upcoming lessons, with an online indicator so you can see who is around.

All catalog class bookings and one-to-one time inquiries are handled directly in Messages (/platform/messages) rather than a separate queue. (Visiting the retired /platform/teacher/join-requests address redirects automatically to Messages).

Find

The discovery side. At the top is a short row of suggested teachers matched to your learning goal — exam preparation, travel, work, or general fluency — in the language you are studying. Below it is the full teacher directory.

If you have no teachers yet, the page opens on Find.

You can filter the catalog with "Available time this week" to see teachers who have open group class meetings or free one-to-one teaching hours in the next 7 days.

Each teacher card displays:

Next available group lesson date and time
Topic ("Topic: «…»" or "The topic is not chosen yet")
Remaining seats (for example, "3 of 6 seats")
Up to 3 upcoming Lesson topics:
Pricing for One-to-one lesson and Group lesson (for example, "from €15" or "Free")

Looking at a teacher

Opening a teacher shows their profile inside the platform, without leaving for a public web page. You get their introduction, video greeting, the languages and levels they teach, their pricing, and their upcoming schedule.

Available times and class lessons

Under Available times and class lessons, an interactive schedule lets you find open group meetings and one-to-one hours:

Horizontal 21-Day Rail: A horizontal Choose a day rail lets you browse across 3 full weeks (21 days) of upcoming schedule dates.
Time-of-Day Segments: Time slots are organized into clear segments: Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.
Group lesson rows: Display Group lesson «Class Name», the scheduled time range, duration, topic ("Topic: «…»" or "The topic is not chosen yet"), remaining open seats (for example, "3 of 6 seats left"), and the lesson price (such as "€15 per lesson" or "Free").
One-to-one lesson rows: Display One-to-one lesson, 60 minutes during the teacher's open booking windows.
Automatic Timezone Conversion: All displayed times are automatically converted to your local device timezone.

Booking a group class meeting

Choose a lesson and click Book

Browse the teacher's profile under Available times and class lessons. Find the group lesson row you want to attend and click Book.

This opens the booking dialog with a 4-step progress tracker:

Time — confirms the meeting date, time, and lesson topic
Account — verifies your student profile details
Request — lets you add an optional note to the teacher
Teacher's reply — tracks confirmation in Messages

Single-meeting guest participation

Booking a class meeting from the catalog books that specific dated meeting as a guest (not a permanent class enrollment).

You do not pay upfront: any lesson fee is charged only after the lesson takes place.
After the meeting ends, you keep permanent access to that meeting's lesson materials, notes, and homework.

Booking while signed out (2-step setup wizard)

If you click Book while signed out or before creating an account, your chosen meeting is remembered while you sign in or register.

New learners registering during a booking complete a quick 2-step Setup Wizard:

Step 1 of 2: Profile — enter your first and last name ("The teacher will see your name in your request.").
Step 2 of 2: Add a photo — upload an avatar ("The teacher will see the photo next to your request. You can add the photo later.").

Role and goal selection prompts are skipped, returning you directly to your pre-filled booking dialog to confirm and send your request.

Send your request

Confirm your booking details and click to send. Once sent, you see "Request sent" ("[Teacher] will reply to you in Messages. You can find the request on the Today page."), with direct buttons to "Open the conversation" or "Open Today".

Tracking your booking

On Today (/platform): Under Class bookings, pending requests appear as "Waiting for the teacher's reply". Once the teacher accepts, the status updates to "You are booked".
In Messages (/platform/messages): An interactive booking card appears in your direct conversation with the teacher. You can click "Withdraw request" at any time before the meeting ends (or cancel an approved seat before the meeting starts).

Inquiring about a one-to-one time

If you want to study one-to-one with the teacher:

On the teacher's profile under Available times and class lessons, click an available one-to-one slot (One-to-one lesson, 60 minutes).
Click "Write about this time".
This opens Messages (/platform/messages) with a pre-filled direct message formatted in your local timezone: "Hello! I would like to study with you. Tuesday, 14:00–15:00 (60 minutes) works for me."
Personalize the message with your goals or questions, then send it directly to the teacher to arrange your lesson.

Why a teacher might not appear

Teachers appear in the directory only once their profile is genuinely ready — a photo, a completed profile, published availability, and the languages they teach. A teacher who has not finished setting up is not listed yet. If you know who you want to learn with, ask them directly for an invite code or a direct class invitation link instead; see If you have an invite code or link and Learning in Classes.

Teachers at a school with its own branded domain are reached through that address — see On your school's own domain vs. locuto.pro.
