How it works
Four steps and you are in class
No subscription, no auto renewal, no lesson you did not choose.
- 1
Pick a teacher
Read the bio, watch the intro video, check the languages and the levels they take. You choose the person, not a queue.
- 2
Book a free trial
Twenty five minutes with any teacher, one per teacher, no card needed. You check the level and the fit before money changes hands.
- 3
Buy lessons when you want them
Single lessons or packages, in dollars, euros or pounds. Credits land in your account and you spend them when your week allows.
- 4
Learn with a plan
Your teacher sets materials and homework, marks what you send, and writes a short report after every lesson. It all sits in your portal.
Why Rincón
Built around the hour you actually spend together
One teacher who plans your course, a portal that remembers everything, and credits you spend when your week allows.
You keep the same teacher
No rotation, no matching algorithm, no reassignment when somebody leaves. You book a person, and that person plans what comes next.
Credits, not a subscription
You buy lessons and hold them as credits. Nothing renews on its own, and every credit shows its expiry date on the day you buy it.
The work is kept for you
Materials, homework and a written report after every lesson, all in one portal instead of scattered across chat threads.
Both directions
Spanish for English speakers and English for Spanish speakers, on one platform, with the site itself in both languages.
Rincón charges teachers a flat 10%, so most of what you pay reaches the person teaching you rather than a middleman.
Meet your teacher
Hear the accent before you book
Every profile carries a short introduction. Watch one, decide whether you want that voice in your ear for an hour a week, then book the free trial.
Teachers
The people who teach here
Small on purpose. Every teacher is read, watched and approved before a single lesson is sold.
For teachers
Teach and keep what you earn
Keep 90%
Rincón charges a flat 10% commission. No sliding scale, no grab at your first lesson with a new student, no penalty for a quiet month.
- You set your own rate. Every teacher prices their own lessons in dollars, euros and pounds, and nobody here sets a house price you have to match or discount to.
- Payouts land in your own Stripe account, every two weeks.
- Your calendar, your students, your materials, your earnings, in one console.

The things people ask first
If your question is not here, write to us and a person answers.
Is the first lesson really free?
Yes. Twenty five minutes with any teacher, one free trial per teacher, and no card is asked for. You use it to check your level and see whether you get on.
Do I need to buy a subscription?
No. You buy single lessons or packages, and they sit in your account as credits. Nothing renews on its own and nothing is charged without you pressing a button.
How do credits work?
One credit is one lesson of the type you bought. You spend it when you place a lesson on your teacher's calendar. Your balance and every movement in it are listed in your portal.
Do credits expire?
Packages carry a validity window, shown on the package before you buy and again on your receipt. Single lessons do not expire. If a credit is close to expiring you get an email in time to use it.
What if I have to cancel?
Cancel more than twenty four hours ahead and the credit returns to your account straight away. Inside that window the credit is spent, because your teacher held the hour for you. If your teacher cancels, you always get the credit back.
