| Feature | PolishReady | Private Tutor |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From 59 PLN/month | 320–600 PLN (4 lessons) |
| Availability | 24/7, any device | Scheduled appointments |
| All 5 exam skills | Reading, writing, listening, grammar, speaking | Usually 1–2 per session |
| Handwriting essay feedback | Upload photo, instant AI grading | Manual, next session |
| Real exam format | Matches official structure and timing | Varies by tutor |
| Progress tracking | Per-skill analytics dashboard | No structured tracking |
| Study pace | Self-paced, unlimited sessions | Fixed schedule |
Why learners add PolishReady to their preparation
Fraction of the cost
One month of unlimited practice costs less than a single private lesson. Most learners use PolishReady as their primary preparation and see a tutor occasionally for conversation practice.
Practice on your schedule
Night shift? Kids at home? PolishReady is available at 2 AM or during your lunch break. No scheduling, no cancellations, no commute.
Instant essay feedback
Write by hand, snap a photo, and get detailed corrections in minutes. With a tutor you'd wait until the next session — and pay for the review time.
Exam-specific practice
Every exercise mirrors the real certification exam format. You practice under the same conditions, time limits, and question types you'll face on exam day.
The verdict
A private tutor excels at live conversation and personalized explanation. PolishReady excels at structured, exam-format practice across all five skills at a fraction of the cost. Many successful exam-takers combine both: PolishReady for daily drilling, and an occasional tutor session for speaking fluency. But if budget is a concern, PolishReady covers every section of the exam for less than the price of one lesson.
