fairness?
platform is great, the teacher I found was great, however I was shocked to learn that Tutoroo collected the fee of four 1,5 hour classes from the teacher for the platform service.
I agree that a good platform deserves a fair share of the revenue for the service, but a fair share in my estimation would be the fee of 1 or 2 one-hour classes, but definitely not four 1,5 hour classes.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that you had a great experience with the teacher you found on the platform.
We understand your concern regarding the platform fee. To clarify, unlike many other tutoring platforms that charge an ongoing commission on every lesson, TUTOROO only applies its commission to the first two weeks of lessons. During this initial period, the typical lesson preference offered is either 1 hour or 1.5 hours per session, once or twice per week, depending on the student’s choice.
This one-time service fee supports the work involved in connecting students with suitable tutors, managing introductions, and providing ongoing support during the initial stage. After this period, students and tutors are free to continue lessons directly without any further commission from TUTOROO.
It’s also worth noting that if a student decides not to continue after a lesson has already been conducted, the tutor is still eligible to receive 50% compensation for that lesson. This helps ensure tutors are fairly compensated for their time and preparation.
Our goal is to keep the platform sustainable while also supporting both students and tutors. We truly appreciate your feedback and will continue working to provide a positive experience for everyone using TUTOROO.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
Best regards,
The TUTOROO Team

SCAM! Avoid this platform
SCAM!
Tutoroo does not honor its own policies. They promise tutors 50% payment if a student quits after two lessons, but in reality they don't pay. No support, no replies, no accountability. This platform exploits tutors and feels like a big scam. Stay away!!

Great platform but tutors need to be vetted and feedback from students need to determine if tutors stay on the platform or not. My Dzongkha tutor started out great but then he didn’t show up for scheduled lessons. Told me he was travelling but didn’t say anything in advance and left me sitting there until I reached out to confirm the lesson. He had time to post his own UTube and Instagram videos though. Payment was very complicated. Had to send money to Australia to a friend. Meant lots of conversions of currencies and many fees. I wouldn’t recommend this tutor. He didn’t have a passion for teaching the language and certainly didn’t respect me as a student.

Stay away from this scam platform at all cost !!!
For both teachers and students. They are just here to take your money and then ghost you.
I have been teaching on this platform and have been scammed with the very first student. First time this happens to me in more than 8 years of teaching !
Tutoroo state, in their policy that if the student doesn't continue after the non paid classes, we are entitled to get 50% of the lessons price. I have been waiting for the money they owe me since August !! Can you believe that !
After many emails they always answer the same bullshit message that they will transmit the issue to the non existent Paris Team... Nobody ever reply.
I met some students who used this platform in the past and they are also complaining they have never been refunded...
This platform is highly disrespectful towards both the students and teachers.
Please, AVOID it AT ALL COST you can only be deceived.
Prefer ethic and respectful teaching platforms such as Vierbling or Preply.

Hi Yuko,
Thank you for your feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced with your payout. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait an extended period of time, especially for a completed lesson.
Payout timelines can occasionally be affected by factors such as lesson confirmation processes, payment method verification, or administrative reviews. That said, an 8-month delay is certainly not the standard experience we aim to provide, and we regret that this was your case.
We appreciate your patience while the matter was being resolved. Please rest assured that we are continuously reviewing our internal processes to ensure payouts are handled more efficiently and transparently for our tutors.
If there is anything further we can assist you with, our support team remains available to help.
Thank you again for sharing your experience.
Best regards,

Great tutor
I’ve had a great experience with Mina so far! Her lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my specific needs. She’s also extremely friendly and easy to talk to, which makes practising the language orally feel comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend! 😊

Great way to connect with a language Tutor.
We have been looking to get some tutoring in the Czech language for our children, but finding it tricky to connect with a tutor. Tutoroo seemed too good to be true - direct messaging with them and with a day getting replies from both them and the tutor. I was unsure about the upfront fee - but once paid, the tutor made a time to meet, and it couldn't have been smoother. Very happy with this service and connecting us with a great tutor.

Tutoroo was instrumental in connecting my current student Dutch to me. I found the website a bit inflexible in that the lesson duration seems preset at 90 minutes which did not suit either of us. But the website only presets what happens during the first two weeks, the Tutoroo business model is good in that it allows direct communication between student and teacher as soon as the first two weeks is paid for.

Avoid Tutoroo as a tutor or student at all costs
I'm a tutor on Tutoroo and I've been experiencing difficulties when they have to pay me.
Tutoroo policy states that if a student doesn't want to continue with you after the first two lessons, you are entitled to 50% of the total for those first two lessons.
I've been chasing the Tutoroo support team for over two or three months and even though I've got a reply, they haven't paid me, they say they are checking it, it's been confirmed with the student but they haven't paid me yet. It is incredibly time consuming and unprofessional.
As a tutor, I won't recommend Tutoroo, you are better off starting on Preply or iTalki. Those platforms are fair and offer better services for both students and tutors.

Your concern has been noted, and we will coordinate directly with our London team and Finance team to review the case and follow up on the outstanding payment in line with our policy. Ensuring clarity and timely resolution is important to us, and we regret that this has not been handled as smoothly as it should have been.
