Important disclaimer:
Tutoring listings are NOT exhaustively verified by administrators. Independently assess the teacher's identity, qualifications, and suitability before working together.
Teachers eligible for trial lessons receive an operational approval from Hola25, which may request supporting documents or details. Approval is not a guarantee of the teacher's identity, qualifications, or quality.
Trial lessons last 25 or 50 minutes, show their price before payment, take place on the platform, and include attendance tracking.
For a recorded trial lesson, the paying student sees a dedicated notice and gives separate consent before checkout, while the teacher gives separate consent before recording starts. The audio-video recording stays in Cloudflare-managed storage and can be accessed for up to 90 days.
For tutoring arranged through listings, booking and payment take place directly between the student and teacher; Hola25 neither collects the payment nor charges a commission.
For listings, we provide publishing, search, and contact; the tutoring service is agreed outside Hola25 checkout.
We are NOT responsible for abuse, fraud, or other problems
