Why customers trust it

Clear steps, protected actions, and transparent expectations.

Browse tutors publicly

Families can compare tutors, subjects, lesson styles, and pricing cues before committing to an account or a booking flow.

Sign in when ready to act

Favourites, booking requests, and messaging are protected behind login so tutors and customers get a more secure experience once a real enquiry starts.

Keep booking conversations in one place

Booking-related messages stay attached to the request itself, which makes follow-up simpler for both sides and reduces confusion over time.

Monetization recommendation

Charge in a way that feels fair to both tutors and families.

Tutors

Free listing or Pro Tutor

Start tutors on a free listing with a 10% platform fee on completed lessons. Offer Pro Tutor at $24/month with a reduced 6% fee, featured placement, and recurring-booking tools.

Why this model is strong

It keeps the service easy to try, avoids heavy upfront subscriptions, and still creates room for revenue through successful bookings and value-added memberships.

Frequently asked questions

What real users usually want to know first.

Can customers browse before signing in?

Yes. Browsing tutor listings is public. Customers only need an account when they want to save a tutor, send a booking request, or use protected messaging.

How do tutors receive enquiries?

Tutors receive booking-linked conversations inside the platform. That keeps message history and booking context together instead of scattering it across email threads.

Are rates and fees clear before booking?

That is the design goal. Tutor pricing cues, booking fees, and lesson format details are intended to be visible before a customer commits to the request flow.

What should be ready before public launch?

Final launch should include reviewed legal pages, support pathways, approved tutor moderation, and a clear refund or cancellation policy that matches the live payment model.
