Stick to the guidelines (again)


Stick to the guidelines: the still continuing story …

It would be helpful to users if Trustpilot kept to its own guidelines:

[1] Two ‘reviews’ from the same country are published within a matter of days.

“Because this is an online job that will satisfy my needs and i (sic) have that passion of teaching swahili (sic) language”

“I'm experienced in the field and more equiped (sic) can deliver (sic) more than expected”

Update! It is now three reviews from the same country; the latest five-star states that the company helps you to grow physically; does Tutoroo also prevent hair loss?

[2] Neither review states anything about the company’s reliability or the service and support the company itself provides.

[3] Both reviewers are advertising themselves.

[4] Both reviewers are, therefore, awarding ‘five stars’ to themselves; I doubt whether Tutoroo will object to that because the stars would appear to reflect the quality of the company.

[5] One review has already been flagged, but no action has been taken, and so there is little point in flagging the other; you can be guaranteed that Tutoroo won’t flag them.

Those who use Trustpilot are not interested in how well ‘equiped (sic)’ an individual is, or what ‘passion’ they have; users want to know whether this company should be entrusted with money. Baseless and / or irrelevant ‘five-star’ reviews are grossly misleading and should be removed so that users have an accurate picture of the quality of this company.

[6] And – to be fair – what is the purpose of:

“i (sic) haven't used this app yet i (sic) wanna (sic) register myself as an urdu (sic) teacher”

What has that to do with the company? How can a user give a one-star review concerning an application that has yet to be used?

[7] It is ridiculous “reviews” such as this which – if not professionally addressed by Trustpilot – will open a floodgate of advertising or redundant comments.

Trustpilot states that it does not ‘fact check’ reviews. I suspect it is more than that; they do not seem to check at all, which is utterly unhelpful:

“To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, …”

It obviously doesn’t work.

PS: (update) "You’ve written a review for TUTOROO, and they’ve asked for more details to better understand your experience."
The good old "genuine experience" trick - pathetic but predictable. Tutoroo wants to know more about my "experience": obviously reading what is published on this site is beyond them. They should try reading other sites where they do not have the opportunity to abuse the flagging tools that Trustpilot provides. And maybe if they reviewed their practices, rather than continually trying to hide negative and remarkably consistent comments, their score might not be so low. Do what you like. You do not care - and neither do I.

Hi Liam,

You have submitted multiple reviews since September 2025 about TUTOROO, and please note that only one counts under Trustpilot guidelines. We have tried to help resolve and address your concerns, but we did not receive a response to the information requests we sent for each review you submitted.

In light of this, we will be able to proceed once you provide at least one piece of information to help us verify your identity and locate your records in our system so we can all move forward.

Thank you for your understanding.

Do not trust their "Teacher Protection Policy" – It's a scam

I am extremely disappointed with TUTOROO. I am a tutor (Divana) and I’ve had a student discontinue lessons after two sessions. According to their own "Teacher Protection Policy," tutors are guaranteed 50% of the fees for the first two weeks if a student quits.

However, getting this compensation is impossible. I have reached out multiple times through their platform and email, but I was ignored. I even tried contacting them on Facebook; they promised a response within 48 hours, but it has been much longer and still—silence.

TUTOROO collects the full payment from the student upfront but refuses to honor their obligation to the teachers. Seeing other reviews here, I realize I am not the only one facing this issue. They exploit tutors' time and effort without any accountability.

Avoid this platform if you value your time and work. They promise protection but deliver zero support.

Hi Divana,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it has been to wait for your payout. We sincerely apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.

We have received your messages and have been coordinating with both our Paris team and Finance team regarding your payout request. Our team is actively following up on your case, and we will update you through our Tutor Support channel as soon as we receive further information.

As outlined in our Tutor FAQs and agreed to during registration, TUTOROO collects and retains the first two weeks of lesson payments for each newly confirmed student. From the third week onwards, tutors receive 100% of their lesson fees paid directly by the student. If a student decides to discontinue lessons during the initial period, TUTOROO will review the case and, where applicable, pay the tutor 50% of the amount paid for the lessons completed with that tutor, in accordance with our terms.

You can find more information in our Tutor FAQs: https://www.tutoroo.co/help/tutor-faq

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this matter.

Best regards,

Stay away from this company!!!!

Stay away from this company!!!!

They charged too much for my lessons from my credit card. Have been in endless conversations with their customer service for the last 4 months, always promising that they are processing my refund..now they decided not to pay me back and keep offering new tutors. I just want my money back and never again deal with this company!!

Hi Andreas,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.

As outlined in the terms agreed to at the time of booking, lesson payments are non-refundable while tutors for the selected language remain available. To help you continue your learning, we introduced you to alternative tutors after your original arrangement did not work out.

Your lesson credit remains available and can be used with any of the tutors we have introduced, including our online tutors if you would like to start lessons sooner. Your credit is non-refundable, has no expiry, and will not be forfeited, so you are welcome to use it at any time in the future.

If you'd like to discuss the available options or proceed with another tutor, please contact us at contact@tutoroo.co, and our team will be happy to assist you.

Best regards,

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English…

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English tutor and the onboarding process was simple and smooth. My profile was approved quickly, which is a great advantage for new tutors looking to start.
What I like about the platform is the flexibility—it allows you to set your own rates and schedule, and once you are connected with a student long-term, you can earn directly without commission after the first couple of weeks.
However, it’s important for new tutors to understand that students are not guaranteed. You need to actively promote your profile to get noticed. Also, the payment structure during the first two weeks can be a bit discouraging, as tutors do not receive full payment upfront and only earn partially if the student doesn’t continue.
Overall, TUTOROO is a good platform to gain experience and find private students, but it works best as a side hustle rather than a stable source of income.

SCAM WEBSITE!

SCAM WEBSITE!! Do not use this platform if you don’t want to risk losing your money.
I contacted several tutors, and they told me the platform had not paid them, which is why they refused to proceed with lessons. I requested a refund, but was informed that this was not possible.
Additionally, there was no clear step requiring users to review and agree to the payment terms before completing the transaction, which is highly concerning.
I HOPE NO ONE USES YOUR SERVICE ANYMORE!!

scam

Unreliable platform. Many tutors shown as “available” are actually inactive or unresponsive. It’s misleading and wastes time reaching out to people who never reply. Don’t trust the availability status here.

Hi FT,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been.

Tutor availability is based on their most recent activity, however, there are instances where some tutors may become unresponsive or inactive without immediate updates to their profiles. Please be assured that we continuously monitor and refine this to improve the accuracy shown on the platform.

We previously requested your full name and registered email address so we could locate your account and review your case thoroughly, but we have not yet received this information. Without these details, we’re unfortunately unable to proceed with the investigation or provide further assistance.

At your convenience, please share your full name and registered email address, and we will prioritize your case. Alternatively, you may reach us directly at contact@tutoroo.co, and our team will be glad to assist you as soon as possible.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for all users.

over 6 months and still no news of my refund

It's been over 6 months that I didn't get any news other than the usual "we are following up internally and will get back to you within 48h" regarding a refund request compliant compliant with Tutoroo's refund policy. Despite almost WEEKLY follow up on my end in the past couple of months. Mostly via the support team but I've also sent a couple of emails to contact.tutoroo. You also didn't provide me with any substancial response here either. Just promises to look into it but nothing done after MONTHS. That's quite some delay... Especially considering you promised to investigate this further also on here. I personnaly don't trust this website anymore that has been leading me on. Look at your cases in Belgium that have been pending for that long and you'll know who I am. I will not discuss it on the platform anymore. I want updates on Trustpilot because once I get back to the platform and emails you will continue with your "we are following up on this" for weeks/months as you've done so far. Btw you promised on Trustpilot 1,5 months ago to solve this if I contact you. I contacted you and you never replied and never solved this. Please update me here on Trustpilot when you are about to solve this and when this is solved. Anything other than that is just leading me on. Thank you

Hi Anna,

We sincerely apologize for the prolonged delay and the frustration this has caused. We fully understand your concerns, especially given the length of time and the repeated follow-ups on your end.

We will provide an update as soon as there is confirmed progress or when the refund is about to be completed.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Do not recommend -- work customer service

This company is highly misleading — proceed with caution before purchasing.

I live in Cairo and specifically requested an in-person Czech tutor. I was asked to pay in advance, only to find out that the tutor was unavailable. It is unclear why the company allows payments to be processed before confirming tutor availability, as this creates a misleading expectation of service.

I made it clear that I was only interested in in-person lessons, not online alternatives. Despite this, the company has continued to ignore my refund request and instead offered online options that do not match what I paid for. DO NOT USE.

If a customer purchases in-person lessons, the company should either provide that exact service or issue a refund. Anything less is not acceptable.

Hi Costa,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and understand your expectation for in-person lessons.

At the moment, the Czech tutor in Cairo is unavailable. We have introduced an alternative tutor, Michaela, based in London, who is available for online lessons. If you are open to this option, you can proceed with her, and your existing payment will be used as credit, no additional payment is required.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed. We’re here to assist and ensure a suitable resolution.

Thank you.
