Good at helping someone find the words? You’ll get this.
If the community side of Busuu matters to you, you may already enjoy the idea that learners can help one another. A thoughtful correction or useful explanation can be a welcome part of someone's study.
Nattive invites that concern for other learners into a different model: paid private lessons that help fund free group English teaching.
Understand the different forms of support
Giving peer feedback is something a learner can choose to do. Teaching a structured course is paid work. Nattive's Classroom model funds teachers to lead English courses for eligible learners who cannot afford private language education.
You participate by booking your own paid lesson in Spanish, French or German. The contribution is included in that booking and pooled toward Classroom funding.
We are working toward 100,000 hours of live English teaching. It is a shared ambition, not a claim that a whole course appears after one purchase.
Choose participation that fits you
Before booking, identify what you want from the private lesson. A conversation, a pronunciation question or a tricky grammar pattern can all provide a clear starting point.
Check whether the teacher works with your level and whether the available times and full price suit you. Your lesson should be useful in its own right.
You do not have to volunteer, recruit friends or teach English yourself to participate. Nor does choosing a different learning routine make you less generous. The mission is an invitation.
Follow the work behind the words
Look at Nattive's impact reporting to understand the difference between funding allocated and teaching delivered. Those stages should remain visible as the program develops.
If you like the idea of learning in a community where other people's access matters, we would like you to help build this one.
Bring the language you want to improve and the questions you want answered. Your paid lesson can contribute toward more people receiving teaching of their own.
