Procedure

Learning languages on Glovico.org is extremely simple and works as follows.

Step 1) You register on Glovico.org as a student. During registration you will need to provide a Skype-account. In case you don't have Skype on your computer yet you can download it here.

Step 2) You browse through the profiles of the teachers and choose the one whose rating you find most convincing, whose profile you find most intriguing and where you consider the price just right.

Step 3) In order to be able to book lessons you first have to buy credit. You can purchase as little or as much as you wish and pay via credit card or debit card. Your credit is displayed in the navigation column on the right.

Step 4) By clicking on the timetable of a teacher you can choose the lesson most appropriate for you schedule. Once you book a lesson the teacher will be notified of your booking. If all the lessons of the teacher of your choice are inconvenient for you, you can also drop him a message through his profile and offer alternative time frames yourself. If these are doable the teacher will enter the respective lesson in the booking system where you will still need to book it.

Step 5) You will next receive an email from your teacher with a confirmation and the request to specify your preferred content of the lesson so that he or she can adequately prepare. Please check your spamfolder once in a while as the mails of our teachers have a tendency to get lost there. In case you cannot  keep the appointment please cancel it 24 hours prior in order to have the credit reimbursed to your account.

Step 6) In parallel your teacher will add you in his Skype-account which will lead to contact request in yours. Please confirm this so that the teacher can see whether you are online at the scheduled time.

Step 7) The teacher will call you via Skype at your appointment and teach you via videoconference. Therefore please make sure that your webcam and headset are working properly. A lesson takes 55 minutes in order to allow the teachers for a small break between lessons. Should a lesson need to be interrupted and/ or cancelled due to technical problems please arrange directly with the teacher for an alternative lesson straight away.

Step 8) After the lesson you will receive an email asking you to rate the lesson. This is important for us in order to allow other students a decent assessment of the lesson with a specific teacher beforehand. Yet, please consider the importance of these ratings for the teachers and in case of doubt prefer the positive evaluation.
