Become a Private Language Tutor

Our free tools will support you in sharing your language!

Working with One City Project as a private language instructor has been a fantastic experience. The organization's web presence is a great resource for students to find instructors, which allows me to focus my energy on teaching and communicating with students, rather than advertising. Working with committed students through individualized curricula has been incredibly rewarding and, as a full-time graduate student, I am grateful to One City Project for making it possible for me to share the language skills I've gained at UW with the greater Seattle community.

Hosting my webpage at One City Project as an Arabic instructor is a great experience. I Have been using their website since last summer, and I am appreciating their excellent service in facilitating communication opportunities between those who are interested in learning the critical languages and their instructors. Their services are professional, supportive, flexible, and organized.
