Big mission. Fair questions. Bring both.
If you already pay for lessons on Preply, a new platform's social mission may catch your attention. Before it earns your booking, it should answer a few straightforward questions.
We would like you to ask them of Nattive. Our goal is to fund 100,000 hours of live English teaching, and a number that large ought to come with an explanation.
Ask what your purchase contributes to
On Nattive, paid private lessons include a contribution toward Classroom. Contributions are pooled to fund free group English courses for learners in developing countries who cannot afford private language education.
Ask any provider to identify the service, the intended learners and the way a purchase contributes. “Positive change” is a starting sentiment. You should be able to find the details beneath it.

Separate plans, funding and delivery
A target is what an organization wants to achieve. Funding is what can be allocated toward the work. Delivery is what has actually happened.
For Nattive, one hour means one hour of teacher-led English class time, regardless of how many learners attend. We do not multiply it by the group size to describe our teaching-hour target.
The impact page is the place to check the current position. Read the definitions and dates as well as the large number.
Keep your own lesson in the decision

A mission should not distract you from checking the teacher, lesson price, available times and booking terms. The contribution is part of a paid learning experience, and that learning matters.
Ask yourself whether you can explain both parts in one sentence: “I am booking this lesson to practice ____, and my payment contributes toward ____.”
If the answer is clear, you can make a considered choice. If it is vague, ask for more information.
We are inviting learners who care enough to look closely. Bring the same curiosity you bring to a language lesson. It will be useful here.
