I was thinking of starting around the A2/B1 level so that I actually have something to say; however, I'm also open to the idea that starting earlier could help avoid the formation of bad habits/pronunciation.
It's also hard for me to keep up with reading right now, so I wasn't sure how much I'd get out of text feedback during the exchange.
Ask anything, I enjoy the interactions!
I found it useful from almost the very start, because I use it as a motivation tool to be regular and work on something.
For the actual language learning, you need to be very selective in who you use. My first tutor would not have been useful in the A0/A1 level and I ended up dropping him.
Find someone that has educational training of some sort, and is aligned with the material/level you are using. Do a few test sessions, see how you prepare for them too.
If reading is a weakness, this is also something the teacher can help with, giving immediate feedback.
