    Every teacher has a teaching certificate or a degree. Watch their intro video and check their levels, price and open times before you book.

  2. Book a time that suits you

    Pick a lesson length and one of the times your teacher has opened. You’ll see the full price before you pay.

  3. Learn live, one to one

    Your lesson runs on video inside Nattive. There’s no subscription. You pay per lesson.

Why Nattive exists

Your lesson doesn’t have to end with you.

We started Nattive to help people learn English. Along the way, we realised that wanting to learn and being able to afford lessons aren’t the same thing.

So we’re building a different kind of language-learning community. When you improve your own skills through a paid lesson, you also help someone else learn English.

See our mission

You study. They study.

Your language progress helps create opportunities for others.

  1. Book your lesson

    Choose your teacher and a time that suits you.

  2. Your booking contributes

    Part of every paid lesson helps fund the Nattive Classroom.

  3. We fund a course together

    Contributions build towards 8 hours of group teaching.

  4. More people get to learn

    A paid teacher leads free group English courses for learners in developing countries.

Our five-year mission

100,000 hours of opportunity

We’re on a mission to fund 100,000 hours of live English classes for learners in developing countries. Every language lesson booked on Nattive brings us closer.

Our goal: 100,000 hours of live English teaching by the end of 2032.

Today: 0 hours delivered. Next milestone: our first Classroom, 8 hours.

Our first Classroom: 8 hours of teaching. Then 100 hours. Then 1,000. Then 10,000. Together, each stage takes us closer to 100,000.

We’re building the first Classroom. Follow our progress as paid lessons help make more teaching possible.

An hour means one hour of teacher-led class time, whatever the size of the group.

Follow our impact

A few things to know.

What does 100,000 hours mean?
We count hours of live English teaching delivered by a teacher through Classroom. A one-hour group lesson counts as one teaching hour, regardless of group size.
How does my lesson help others?
10% of the teacher's lesson price, included in the one price you see, goes to Nattive Classroom. It's pooled until there's enough for the next course: 8 hours of English teaching for a small group of up to 5 learners in developing countries, with a teacher paid for every hour.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You pay for each lesson when you book it, and you see the full price before you book. There's nothing to sign up to and nothing to cancel.
Can I choose my teacher and lesson time?
Yes. You choose your teacher, then pick a lesson time from the times they’ve opened. You see the full price before you book.

Your next conversation can make a difference.
