(Please, click on the link ⚡ below to watch the video) What do progress, mountaintops, and cosmic vibes have in common? Everything - if you’re at One Preply Event 🚀 Last Friday, we hit pause to celebrate us - our wins, our growth, and the bar-raising team behind it all. At Preply, success isn’t just about milestones; it’s about the people and collaborations that power us forward. From tutors inspiring learners around the globe to the Preplers breaking barriers every day, this event was a tribute to everyone who makes #Preply what it is ✨ Looking back at 2024, we celebrated our product’s standout moments, the bold decisions we made, and the relentless hard work that fuels the magic we create for learners everywhere 🌎. But the evening wasn’t just a reflection. It was a projection - a look ahead at ambitious goals, daring ideas, and our shared commitment to power people's progress. We can’t wait to see where the next year will take us!  2025, what have you got in store for us? ⚡ Check out the video from the party here ⚡ LINK: https://lnkd.in/d5z_BShU #OnePreply #Teamwork #Celebration #Edtech #Progress #Culture

At Preply Business, we work with customers from all around the world, so understanding and celebrating different cultures is at the heart of how we collaborate 🌍✨ At our recent B2B offsite, we didn’t just dive into quarterly business results and explore customer success stories. We also welcomed our new VP of Sales Yan Kessler to the team and laid the groundwork for the next chapter of growth in 2025 and beyond. But more than anything, we focused on what really powers us: team spirit and collaboration 🤝 This time, we took it up a notch with an unforgettable experience: The Haka - the powerful Māori ceremonial dance you’ve probably seen the New Zealand rugby team perform. It wasn’t just about the movements; it was about immersing ourselves in Māori language and culture, learning about the tradition, and connecting as a team in a whole new way.  Chanting and moving in unison brought a real sense of unity, purpose, and energy that we’ll carry forward into everything we do. It was a reminder that when we move as one, we can achieve so much more. 💪 A massive shoutout to Tamar St Clair for guiding us through this empowering journey - it’s one we won’t forget! #Teamwork #Collaboration #PreplyBusiness #Offsite #B2B #Preply #Haka #Teambuilding #Culture #Onepreply 

What an incredible three days we had at the Preply Tutor Conference! 🎉 We love bringing our tutor community together to dive into learning, share fresh ideas, and connect. At Preply, we’re all about growth and the joy of continuous learning 📚. That’s why we’re glad to share highlights from one of our keynote sessions with the legendary John Hughes - an expert with 30+ years of teaching experience and author of over 80 educational titles. John’s talk, “Seven Simple Secrets for Writing Super Classroom Materials,” was packed with practical advice and creative strategies for tutors: ➡️ Common mistakes in educational materials Issues like unclear instructions and inconsistent verb forms are easy to overlook. John’s advice? Add headings, break down instructions, and always include examples to ensure clarity. ➡️ Using images to boost engagement Images add context and spark interest. Choose authentic, diverse visuals that reflect real-life situations. Some of John’s recommended sources: Unsplash, Pixabay, and OPENVERSE. ➡️ Generating fresh ideas Great material can come from anywhere! Stay alert to current events, and student feedback, and keep your “materials radar” active. Example? Have you heard of 'overtourism' and 'undertourism'? These are new terms that are often talked about nowadays and can inspire a great lesson plan. ➡️ Evaluating your materials John suggests using strategies like the “heads up, heads down” approach to balance interactive and solo activities, plus a “writing buddy” system for peer feedback. Curious about the other keynote talks from our Conference? Stay tuned - we’ll be sharing more insights in our upcoming posts! 😉 #tutorscommunity #conference #languagelearning #keepperfecting #wedoitforlearners #education #prepparapro #educationalmaterials #preply #tutors

At Preply, we’re not just following the AI trend - we’re crafting the world’s leading AI-assisted, human-led language learning solutions💡. Last Friday, our CTO and co-founder, Dmytro Voloshyn, took to the stage at UA Tech London to share how we’re reshaping the language learning experience with the power of AI. Here are some highlights from Dmytro’s presentation on our approach to AI integration: ➡️ More Than Just Basic Features We’re seeing exciting results with our AI-powered lessons assessment and progress tracking system. This isn’t just about putting an “AI” sticker on existing features - it’s about building a learning flywheel that drives engagement and learning outcomes. Our self-learning experience delivers hyper-personalized, bite-sized exercises that complement live lessons and help build consistent learning habits. ➡️ Quality is Key Quality matters when it comes to AI, and it goes beyond just the initial prototypes. We’re focusing on jobs to be done (check jobs-to-be-done framework!), not features to be built. At the end of the day, it’s not just about what AI can do; it’s about delivering real value at the sweet spot where technology meets human connection. . . . Inspired by our craft?
