NiceTalk Tutor app is an app that was developed by Hangzhou Feizhu Technology Co., Ltd, and is China’s first mobile platform for learning English. The app will connect you with fluent English speaking tutor around the world who will chat with you using video chat. The concept behind the app is to help students enhance their language skills by practicing and speaking with a fluent English tutor. This is a great way for anyone who is fluent in English and wants to be an English partner to help the person practice English. You will be teaching this person about the English language and helping them improve their skills. The app is opened worldwide and anyone who is fluent in English can download and install the app on their mobile device. The app is currently available for Android devices and can be found on the Google Play Store. According to the website, you can use this on your iOS device. I can’t seem to find this on The App Store to download and install. You’ll need to visit the website from your phone to download and install the app.
How Does it Work?
- You’ll need to download and install the app on your mobile device from the Google Play Store. This can be installed on your tablet or your smartphone.
- You’ll need an internet connection in order to use this device.
- When you first open the device, you’ll need to create your account.

- Once you submit the form, you’ll be required to upload a photo to the app
- The app requires you to enter your nationality and your spoken languages.
- Your final step will be to record a quick video of yourself and explain why you want to become a NiceTalk Tutor.
- The video is for your personal records and won’t be seen by the students. However, the app will review this video and use the video to determine if you can work on the app as a tutor. It is a good idea to record a nice video of yourself, speak clearly, and explain why you want to be an English tutor.
- Record your video and upload the video to the app.
- Once the video has been uploaded the app will redirect you to another screen. Here you’ll be required to update the app. This can’t be done from the Google Play Store and the site will update the app on your phone.
- On most phones, you’ll be required to make a few changes so the website can directly access your mobile device and update the app.
- When the app is updating, it tells you that the company is reviewing your video.
- Once the app has updated, you’ll need to log into your account and complete your profile. Here you’ll need to add:

- You will need a high-speed internet connection that is stable. Your line speed will need to be above 300kps for uploading and 500kps for downloading.
- You’ll need an updated operating system for your Android device and your system should be 4.0 or higher. It says it works on all iOS device that uses an operating system of 7.0 or higher. However, I can only find the download for Android devices and there doesn’t appear to be any way to download the app for an iOS device. According to the website, you’ll need to visit the site using your iOS device in order to download and install the app. This app isn’t available on the App Store.

How To Find Students:

- The site has two modes for requests. There are the random call mode and the direct call mode.
- In the random call mode, a student is matched with their tutor according to the tutor’s rating.
- In the direct call mode, a student will choose their tutor from the tutor’s list.
- When a student is available, you’ll be notified and can start your conversation. It is a good idea to introduce yourself to your student.
- Many of the students are talkative and it is a good idea to just let them talk. On the other hand, there are a few students who aren’t as talkative and it will be up to you to start the conversation and get them talking.
- You can choose the topics to talk about or ask your student what they would like to talk about.
How Much Are You Paid?
