The Learnico Catalog is a free public directory with strong SEO. Students search by subject and city, find your profile, and message you. List for free.

How the Learnico Catalog Brings You New Students for Free

Teaching is the easy part. Finding new students is what keeps most independent teachers up at night. You can be brilliant at what you do, but if nobody knows you exist, your calendar stays empty.

The Learnico Catalog was built for exactly this problem, and listing yourself in it costs nothing.

It's a public directory where students search for a teacher by subject and location, land on your profile, and message you directly. No ad budget. No website of your own. No card on file.

What the Catalog actually is

Think of it as a search engine for teachers. Students browse it two ways:

  • By subject: 40 categories across 7 groups, covering languages, music, school subjects, coding, wellness and sport, creative skills and more.
  • By location: their own city, or "online" if they want remote lessons.

Every category and city has its own page. A student looking for guitar lessons in Kraków, or online business English, sees a curated list of matching teachers. You can be on that list.

Listing is free

You don't need a paid plan to show up. When you create your profile through the catalog sign-up, you land on the free plan, and the free plan is enough to appear in the directory.

There's no trial countdown to beat, no credit card, no "free for 14 days and then we charge you". You publish your profile and you're in.

✨ Being listed is the promotion. It works around the clock, so students can find you even while you're mid-lesson with someone else.

Built to rank in search

Here's the part that makes a free listing actually worth something. The catalog is built for search from the ground up.

Every category and city page has a clean, readable URL, proper structured data (JSON-LD), a written description and its own FAQ section. Pages are server-rendered and load fast, and each one is registered in the sitemap with correct language tags for English and Polish. That is the technical SEO groundwork most teachers never have the time to do for themselves.

So when someone types "maths tutor in Wrocław" into Google, or asks an AI assistant "where can I find a Spanish teacher near me", the catalog pages are made to surface, and your profile surfaces with them. You get the benefit of that SEO work without writing a single line of it.

What students see on your profile

Your public profile is your storefront. It shows:

  • Your photo, name and a short bio in your own words
  • The subjects and specialisations you teach
  • Your Google rating and reviews, if you have a Google Business profile
  • Your courses and workshops
  • A "Contact" button, so an interested student can reach you in a few clicks

On the free plan, that contact button is how students get to you. They found you in the catalog, they liked your profile, and now they're writing to you about lessons. That's a new student in your inbox, at no cost.

Getting listed takes a few minutes

Signing up for the catalog is a short, three-step flow:

  1. Your profile: name, photo, what you teach and a short description.
  2. Your first course (optional): add one course or lesson so students see something concrete. You can skip this and add it later.
  3. Done: your profile goes live, with its own link you can share anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is it genuinely free?
Yes. You're listed in the catalog on the free plan, with no card required.
Do I need my own website?
No. Your Learnico profile is your public page. Students find it in the catalog and in Google, see your courses, and contact you from there.
Will my profile really show up in Google?
The catalog pages are built to rank. Clean URLs, structured data, sitemaps and language tags are all handled for you. No one can guarantee a specific position in the results, but the technical groundwork is done and it works in your favour.
How do students reach me on the free plan?
Through the contact button on your profile. They fill in a short form and the message lands with you. It's a direct lead: a student asking about lessons.
Can I take payments and enrolments directly later?
Yes. When you're ready, you can upgrade so students book and pay for lessons and courses straight from your profile. That's an option for later, not a requirement to be listed today.
What can I teach?
Anything the categories cover: languages, music, school subjects, coding, wellness, creative skills and more. If students search for it, you can be listed under it.
