Question 1

Can I switch from iTalki to Locuto.PRO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Locuto.PRO is a different kind of tool — instead of a marketplace for finding tutors, it is a workspace where teachers build and deliver interactive lessons. If you already have students, you can invite them directly and start teaching with richer materials.

Question 2

Does Locuto.PRO have a tutor marketplace like iTalki?

Accepted Answer

Locuto.PRO has both a marketplace for ready-made lesson materials and a public teacher directory where students can discover teachers, view profiles, and connect. Teachers build their student base through the directory, direct invitations, and school enrollment.

Question 3

Is Locuto.PRO free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Locuto.PRO has a free tier with up to 5 active students, unlimited lesson creation, and core platform features. Paid plans start at $19/month for more students and advanced tools like smart lesson generation.

Question 4

Can I teach any language on Locuto.PRO?

Accepted Answer

The platform UI supports English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Czech, German, and French. Teaching materials and lesson generation are available for Polish, English, French, German, Spanish, and Czech at CEFR levels A1 through C2. You can teach other languages using the lesson builder manually.

Question 5

Does Locuto.PRO handle video calls?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Locuto.PRO has built-in video and audio calls with real-time collaborative editing. No need for Zoom or external video tools.

Question 6

What makes Locuto.PRO different from iTalki?

Accepted Answer

iTalki is a marketplace where students find and book tutors. Locuto.PRO is a teaching workspace where teachers create interactive lessons with 25+ exercise types, teach live with built-in video, assign and track homework, and manage vocabulary with spaced repetition. Students can also find teachers through the public teacher directory.
