Why teach on Bernaly

Not just another tutor platform. A Swiss-first place built around the people who actually speak the language.

Your dialect is your asset

Bernaly celebrates regional variety. Students search for tutors by exact dialect — Züri, Bärn, St. Gallen — so your accent isn't a quirk, it's the product.

Set your own rates

You decide what an hour of your time is worth. We don't undercut you; we don't push promos. Transparent commission, no hidden fees.

Teach when you want

Pick your availability windows. Block out holidays. Cancel sessions if life gets in the way. Your calendar, your call.

Be part of something real

Every session you teach is a tiny act of preservation. Swiss German doesn't die out on Bernaly's watch — and you're the reason why.

Real tutors. Real words.

I was teaching for free in Facebook groups for years. On Bernaly I finally got paid for the same thing.
Andi · Züritüütsch tutor
My grandma's Bärndütsch was about to disappear with her generation. Now I'm teaching it. That matters.
Beatrice · Bärndütsch tutor
I set my own schedule and earn more per hour than my old part-time job. Setup took 20 minutes.

Common questions

Do I need a teaching qualification?
No formal qualification required. You need to be a native or near-native speaker of the dialect you want to teach, and comfortable working one-on-one with adult learners. We verify both during the application.
How much does Bernaly take?
10% of each completed session, with no hidden fees, no listing charges, no monthly subscription. We invest the 10% into platform, marketing, support and the heritage mission.
When and how do I get paid?
Weekly payouts to your Swiss bank account, every Monday for the previous week's completed sessions. The MVP uses manual bank transfer (you'll add your IBAN during onboarding); we're integrating Stripe Connect for instant payouts soon.
How much time do I need to commit?
Up to you. Some tutors do 2 sessions a week as a side income, others do 20+ as a primary job. Set your availability honestly — students value reliability more than volume.
Can I teach more than one dialect?
Yes, if you're genuinely fluent in multiple. During application you'll declare each dialect with your fluency level, and we verify each separately.

Your dialect. Your terms.

The application is 10 minutes. The decision is yours every step after that.
