I've volunteered as an English teacher since 2016, and one question kept coming up: how can learners identify teachers with genuine qualifications, and where can they find high-quality English practice without paying? That inspired me to build ARLTS.
ARLTS began as a teacher-ranking platform, but conversations with early users completely reshaped its direction. It became a learner-first platform that offers free English learning activities while helping learners discover teachers through transparent, evidence-based profiles rather than marketing claims.
ARLTS is in beta, and I'm launching early because community feedback is invaluable. Every suggestion helps refine the platform. The long-term vision is simple: make high-quality English learning available to everyone while helping learners choose teachers based on verified credentials rather than advertisements.

How do you actually verify the teachers' credentials and track records, and is that process shown to the student before they book or hidden behind the paywall?

@nihatcugi Great question. ARLTS is built around transparency. Teachers can upload their qualifications and supporting documents to their profiles, and we manually review each submission before it appears on the platform.
The qualifications and supporting documents are visible to learners before they decide whether to contact a teacher. Rather than asking learners to trust ARLTS alone, we provide the available evidence so they can evaluate a teacher's credentials for themselves and decide whether they're comfortable continuing.
ARLTS is currently in beta, and we'll continue refining our review process and teacher profiles as the platform evolves.
In short, please sign up and view my profile on ARLTS, you'll be able to see my uploaded documents, and decide yourself whether they are authentic/fake and if you want to contact me: https://arlts.org/find-a-teacher/32094
Thank you ;)

How does ARLTS actually vet the teachers, and can I try a trial lesson before committing to a package?
ARLTS is built on the idea of transparency rather than blind trust. Teachers can upload their teaching qualifications, language proficiency certificates, and other supporting evidence to their profiles for everyone to view.
We review the evidence submitted before it appears on ARLTS, and we also encourage learners to verify the qualifications themselves. Our goal is to create a platform where credentials are visible, allowing every learner to make informed decisions based on the available evidence.
Regarding trial lessons, ARLTS doesn't currently offer booking or trial lessons directly. Whether a teacher offers a trial lesson depends on the individual teacher, and this information will be shown on their profile when available.
ARLTS is in beta, and we're continuously improving our verification framework and teacher profiles based on community feedback.

seeing the actual teacher's video and background before booking is such a simple idea, kind of wild it isn't standard on every platform now

Love how you put teacher transparency front and center, flipping the usual power dynamic where learners guess and hope. The name is sharp too.
