Frequently Asked Questions

Our lessons are conducted one-on-one, allowing us to provide students with a personalized learning experience. The one-on-one lessons aim to focus on the student's needs and facilitate more effective communication.

Our lessons are conducted live. This means that students can interact with their English tutors in real-time. Live lessons allow students to ask questions instantly, enable tutors to adapt the lesson content on the spot, and encourage active participation from students during the lessons.

Our lessons are offered in two different duration options: 25 minutes and 50 minutes. These options allow students to determine the lesson duration according to their needs and preferences. Some students prefer shorter and more intensive lessons, while others may prefer to focus on longer sessions. Regardless of the chosen duration, our tutors are ready to provide you with an effective learning experience throughout the lesson.

In lessons on Flalingo, the Zoom program is used. However, the process of joining the lesson is entirely conducted through the Flalingo platform, and you don't need to take any separate actions in Zoom. It is sufficient to have the Zoom program installed on your computer. If the Zoom program is not already installed on your computer, you can download it by using the following link. https://zoom.us/download

In Flalingo, lessons can be reserved a minimum of 8 hours in advance. This time frame is set to ensure that tutors and students have enough time to prepare for the lesson, leading to a more productive learning experience. Our tutors carefully prepare for each lesson. They organize materials, review content, and create lesson plans tailored to the students' needs. This preparation process enables tutors to provide high-quality education to students. However, if users want to have a lesson earlier, they can use the "Request Lesson" feature. With this feature, reservation requests can be accepted up to 3 hours before the lesson time. This allows students to have the opportunity to have a lesson before the specified hours.

The lesson reservation process is done through the student panel. After logging in with your username and password, you will be directed to your personalized student page. At the top of this page, you will find the options "Search by tutor" and "Search by date," where you can schedule a lesson with a tutor of your choice at your preferred time. The first method is to click on the "Search by date" button and select a suitable time for yourself. This way, you have the opportunity to choose from tutors who are available at that specific time. The second method is to click on the "Search by tutor" button and review the profiles of tutors listed there. You can select the tutor you want to take lessons with and make a reservation by choosing a suitable time from their calendar. In addition to these options, if you cannot find a suitable time for a lesson with your desired tutor, you can use the "Make a request" feature. This feature allows you to send a reservation request to the tutor when there is no available time in their calendar.

If the tutor is unavailable at the desired time for the student to take a lesson, the student can request a reservation from the tutor. To do this, you need to click on the "Lessons requests" button on the reservation page or on the messaging screen and fill in the relevant sections. Reservation requests can be made at least 3 hours in advance. However, a reservation request does not guarantee the availability of the lesson. The tutor will respond to the reservation request at least 30 minutes before the requested lesson time. In cases where the request is not approved, reservation requests are considered rejected. The result of the reservation requests is communicated to the student via email. Unapproved lesson requests do not deduct from the student's lesson credits. Communication and agreement between the student and the tutor are of great importance during the reservation request process. Students can use the messaging module in the student panel to communicate with tutors and determine suitable times. Through this module, students can communicate with tutors to inquire about available hours and make reservation requests. This method is recommended as the best way for students to plan their lessons using the reservation request feature.

Tutors are not obligated to accept cancellation requests.

The lesson topics in Flalingo are personalized according to the student's needs and goals. Oxford University Press's specially designed materials for online education are used in the lessons. Students can access and use these materials if they wish. However, following a textbook is not mandatory. There are specially designed lessons to provide students with a comfortable environment for speaking practice. This way, students can shape the progress of the lessons according to their own goals and preferences.

We have a lot of content for you to discuss with your tutor.

We constantly add new materials, so you always have good topics to talk about during your practice sessions.

In our system, 150 lessons are provided from about 10 countries every day. Since we have such different experiences every day, we can easily say that the probability of connection problems originating from us is 1%. On the other hand, there are many different reasons why you might be unable to connect to the lesson: 1) Ensure that you have a good internet connection. 2) Wifi connections sometimes don't work well. Considering this situation, turn off wifi and use your mobile internet. (Especially if you live in the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or Syria, it would be better to use your mobile internet instead of wifi.) 3) If you use a Windows laptop or Android phones, please use the Google Chrome browser. 4) If you use a MAC (Apple), iPhone, or iPad, please use the Safari browser. 5) If you have a problem with the connection, please refresh your page. 6) Be sure to allow your camera and microphone. Because if you don't allow, you can never connect from the phone or the computer.

Your level and demands are important to us first. We don't use books in the first lessons; instead, we determine your level. Then, we choose the book that best suits your level. However, we also have students who just want to practice speaking. We organize speaking activities with hundreds of topics in a planned manner with these students.
