Mistakes are welcome.

Mistakes are welcome.

When you slip up, I don't shame you. I nudge you toward the fix and let you try again. No big red Xs. No hearts lost. Duolingo punishes you for mistakes. I reward you for making them.

It's actually how we learn.

It's actually how we learn.

My teaching method gets you to 46% self-repair — meaning you catch your own mistakes nearly half the time. Other apps? Closer to 0%. I'm built on peer-reviewed linguistics research. Not vibes.

Let's talk about what you like.

Let's talk about what you like.

Movies, Travel, Music, Books — pick a topic, then tell me about your upcoming trip, your favorite show, the album you've been replaying. Generic lessons are forgettable. Personal conversations stick.

Stuck? I'm here to help & teach.

Stuck? I'm here to help & teach.

Blanking on a word? I'll teach it with examples from the movie you mentioned last week, the trip you're planning — the stuff you actually care about. Other apps forget you the moment you close them.

Show up daily. I track the rest. Streaks are earned by sending real messages, not by tapping a button to keep a number alive. No fake rewards. All the motivation. None of the guilt trips.

Worked at a taquería in Oaxaca.

so i booked a trip to oaxaca and downloaded Lily maybe 6 weeks out. total hail mary honestly. i told her that i wanted three things: order food without pointing, ask for directions without crying, and not get absolutely fleeced at the market. by week 3 she had me running oaxaca-specific slang drills. day two of the trip i'm 20 minutes deep in a conversation with a taqueria owner about his grandkids and he told me my accent was “muy gringo pero muy cariñoso”. I cried. in the street. in front of a man selling tlayudas. 10/10 would weep again.

I tried everything else first.

ok im not a review person but here we are. i've had duolingo for 4 years. could read spanish totally fine but the second anyone spoke to me out loud my brain just stopped. tutorlily is legit different tho. she actually remembers stuff. last week she asked me how my interview prep was going which i'd mentioned like THREE sessions ago. the convos don't reset, thats the whole point. anyway i'm having real back-and-forths with my coworkers in spanish now so yeah. worth it.

My in-laws and I finally talked.

Here's the situation. I'm marrying into a Korean family and my fiancé's halmoni doesn't speak any English. For two years our relationship has basically been bows, smiles, and her pushing food at me across the table. I started using Tutor Lily quietly, and at our engagement party I sat next to halmoni and had a real 10-minute conversation with her about her garden and her favorite K-drama. She cried. My fiancé cried. I cried. Lily had the whole context: names, region, and what she was likely to ask me.

Finally stopped freezing on Zoom

My company just opened a Mexico City office. Every team call, the second it switched to Spanish, I'd freeze. Watched every season of Money Heist with subtitles. Knew the vocab cold. Still couldn't open my mouth without the heart rate going. 12 weeks with TutorLily and last Tuesday I ran the standup in Spanish. Was it perfect? No. Did I lead the call? Yes. She corrects you, but it lands more like a colleague nudging you than a teacher marking a test wrong.

Questions

Frequently asked

Duolingo makes you tap pictures for months before you ever speak a real sentence. ChatGPT has no idea who you are. Every conversation starts from scratch. I remember every mistake you've made, every goal you have, and what you share with me about your life. And when you get something wrong, I don't just rephrase your sentence correctly. I nudge you to find it yourself (elicit → hint → recast), using a 3-step method from peer-reviewed linguistics research. The result: a 46% self-repair rate vs ~0% for generic chatbots.
