Get language tutoring online
HelpingHands connects you with a helper for a live 10, 20, or 30-minute video call to work on a language. Speaking face to face on camera is ideal for a language — you get real conversation practice, instant correction on pronunciation, and answers to the grammar questions that keep tripping you up.
When online language tutoring is useful
Getting comfortable speaking Dutch, French, English or another language, clearing up a grammar rule that never quite made sense, fixing pronunciation before it becomes a habit, or preparing for an oral exam or a job interview in another language. Live speaking practice is where video really shines.
What you can ask during a video call
"Can we just have a conversation so I can practise speaking?" "Why is it this tense and not that one?" "Am I pronouncing this correctly?" "Can you play the interviewer and I'll answer?" A helper adapts to your level and corrects you as you go.
What HelpingHands does and does not do
It does: give you live speaking practice, correct pronunciation and grammar in the moment, and help you prepare for a specific exam or conversation. It does not: send a tutor to your home, or replace a full multi-year language course or an accredited certification programme.
How pricing works
You book by session length — 10, 20, or 30 minutes — and see the price before you confirm. A focused 30-minute conversation gives you solid speaking practice. No call-out fee, because nobody travels.
