No worries, there are teachers or tutors who are really nice, patient and they will go slower if you ask! I picked young teachers (pro) and tutors (around 20 or less than 30 yo).
If you know 2 languages, you can become a tutor without diploma. You or I can become tutors. If you have tried nssa academy or nssa subbing or tutoring with irmar, it feels… the same for me.
I think what made me jump into that is: someone saying, you can theorize about learning or how to swim, but then to learn it, you have to jump in the pool and practice. Just go speak! I think learning languages goes into that category. It doesn’t exclude books or videos or pictures
I don’t say that self learning doesn’t involve practicing conversations, but exchanging and learning with a native is really motivating for me and I feel more enthusiastic and confident than learning alone.
They’re like languages partners. You can laugh with them, say “I don’t understand” without fear or ask questions. They invite you to do so, like the nssa.
Also, we’re not bound to practice with them every day or week. If you just want 1 session a month or a year to see how far you can go or practice what you’ve been learning for a long time as a self learner, that is pretty doable too! You’re free to continue or not.
For now, I’m mixing both: self learning + practice conversations with a native.
The effects I saw on me:
- I am not ready to wake up at 6:45 a.m. to self study, but I am ready for a language exchange with a partner. Even eager lol
- I do more self studying sessions and more often so I can practice better with my partner. I put more efforts into making sure I’ve memorized things I learn alone in case I will see that in the future with my partners lol I have fun exchanging with them.
Motivation is key for me 
PS: another alternative, you can tutor people on the same website and earn money so you can buy sessions for yourself. You pick your timetable. Or you can find a language partner for free and in exchange you teach him his language. A lot of people are asking for an English partner.
