How the $1 Trial Works
Four simple steps from search to your first session.
Search & filter tutors
Browse by language, price, availability, and teaching specialty. Filter for native speakers, certified teachers, or tutors who specialize in your exam or goal.
Book a 30-min $1 trial
Select any tutor with a trial lesson listed and pay $1. You get a full 30-minute session — the same format as a regular lesson, not a sales call.
Meet your tutor
Join the lesson in Unox's built-in classroom. Your tutor will assess your level, understand your goals, and run a sample lesson in their teaching style.
Decide — zero pressure
After the trial, you decide whether to continue. No automatic billing. If you loved the session, book your next lesson directly. If not, try a different tutor.
What to Expect in Your Trial Lesson
Every trial lesson covers these five elements — your tutor leads, you guide.
- 1
A quick level assessment — your tutor will gauge your current skills through conversation, not a formal test.
- 2
Goal discovery — you explain what you want to achieve (exam, fluency, travel, business) and your tutor tailors the lesson structure accordingly.
- 3
A teaching style sample — you see exactly how your tutor explains, corrects, and encourages so you can judge the fit.
- 4
Open Q&A — you can ask anything: about their background, their method, their materials, or what a regular lesson looks like.
- 5
A personalized next-steps plan — your tutor shares what they recommend focusing on and roughly how long it will take to reach your goal.

What If You Don't Like Your Tutor?
Finding the right tutor is like finding the right gym trainer — chemistry matters, not just credentials. That is exactly why the $1 trial exists. If the tutor's style does not match your learning preferences, simply try another one.
If a technical issue or tutor no-show prevents your trial from happening, Unox issues a full refund automatically — you do not need to contact support.
If you complete the trial and feel the session was significantly not as described, you can request a review through the help center within 24 hours. The support team reviews every reported trial dispute within one business day.

What exactly is included in the $1 trial lesson?
A full 30-minute live video lesson with a professional tutor in Unox's built-in classroom. The $1 is a one-time fee — not a recurring charge. You get the full lesson experience: level assessment, teaching style demonstration, goal discussion, and a personalized plan.
Can I book trial lessons with multiple tutors?
Yes. You can book a $1 trial with as many tutors as you like. Many students try two or three before choosing their regular tutor. The trial system exists precisely to make it easy to find the right fit without committing to a large lesson package first.
How should I prepare for my trial lesson?
Know your goal (exam, conversation, business, travel) and your rough level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Have headphones and a quiet space ready. You do not need to prepare materials — your tutor will lead the session. Arriving with a question or two about their teaching style makes the 30 minutes more useful.
What happens with payment after the trial?
Nothing is automatic. After your trial, you receive no additional charges. If you want to continue, you purchase lessons or a package at the tutor's regular rate. You are always in control — there is no automatic subscription or upsell during the trial.
How does a trial lesson differ from a regular lesson?
A trial lesson allocates more time to introductions, goal setting, and level assessment. A regular lesson dives straight into the curriculum and assumes the tutor already knows your level and goals. Trial lessons are slightly more exploratory; regular lessons are more focused on drilling specific skills.
