Answers to common questions. If yours isn't here, write to us.

For students

How do I book a lesson?

Under “Find a teacher” pick a subject, open a teacher's profile, choose a free time and send a request. Once the teacher confirms, the lesson appears in your account.

What is a trial lesson?

Some teachers offer a discounted trial lesson as an introduction. The price is shown on the profile. You can take one with each teacher once.

How do I cancel or move a lesson?

A confirmed lesson can be cancelled or moved in your account up to 12 hours before it starts. One lesson can be moved up to 2 times, and the teacher confirms the new time again. If less time is left, message the teacher.

How do I enter the classroom?

A “Enter classroom” button appears in your account 30 minutes before the start. The browser will ask for camera and microphone access: allow it. Chrome and Safari work best.

Where are homework and materials?

Under “My classes”: all your work with the teacher, materials and homework. You can send your answer as text, a link or a file.

How does payment work?

Online payment on the site is coming soon. For now, agree on payment with the teacher before booking.

For teachers

How do I sign up as a teacher?

Click “Sign up as a teacher”, confirm your e-mail, fill in your profile in your account (subjects, languages, price, schedule) and publish it. After an administrator reviews it, the profile appears in the catalogue.

How much is the subscription?

The first 60 days are free (after your profile is approved), then 10 AZN per month. When the period ends your profile is hidden from the catalogue; lessons already booked still take place. To renew, write to support@ders.zone.

How do I set my schedule?

In your account tick the free hours of the week. Hours are in Baku time and students see them in their own time zone.

How do I confirm a request?

A new request arrives by e-mail and shows in your account as “Pending”. Click “Accept” or “Decline”.

Can I assign homework?

Yes. Under “My classes” pick the student, open the “Homework” tab, create a task and attach a file if you like. You can review the student's answer, give a grade and write feedback.

If something goes wrong

A student or teacher didn't show up

Use “Report a problem” on the lesson card. We look into every report.

I can't confirm my e-mail

Check your Spam folder. The code is valid for 15 minutes and you can ask for a new one.

Camera or sound doesn't work

Click the lock icon in the browser's address bar, allow the camera and microphone, and reload the page. Close other apps that use the camera.
