Tutoring Platform and Marketplace Fees Compared
A not so talked about topic in the tutoring industry is how much tutoring companies and platforms take from their tutors and students. It is completely understandable to take a percentage of the earnings or charge membership fees, as they help connect tutors with students.
But have you ever wondered how much exactly they take from students and tutors?
Let’s take a look at the fees charged by the most popular tutoring platforms.
| Platform | Fees |
| 4 to 7% per lesson | |
| 10%, but charges students about $20+ per month | |
| 25% | |
| 100% for the first lesson, 33% to 18% thereafter | |
| 69% | |
| 58% | |
| 49% |
Please note that these fees are approximations and gathered from publicly available data - including the platform websites themselves
I know. The first thought that comes to mind is: why on earth are some of these tutoring platforms so expensive.
Some take over 50% - that’s just robbery. |
That’s what we thought too. Which is one of the reasons why we built TutorHi - to bring fair and affordable tutoring to everyone .
As for our expensive competitors, whether it is poor business management, inefficient advertising, legacy technology systems, or just plain greed - TutorHi will have none of these.
We run our business as efficiently, develop our technology effectively and care about our tutors and students. |
And yes, this post may be a bit biased (after all it’s written by us), but numbers don’t lie - you will definitely get charged much higher fees on other tutoring platforms.
It’s time to make a change, don’t you think?
It’s time to put an end to large and greedy tutoring companies, and embrace a fair and affordable tutoring marketplace.
