> ## Marketplaces (they bring you the students)
> 
> **1. Wyzant** - the default recommendation for US academic tutoring. Largest US marketplace (~65k tutors), you set your own rate, and it's one of the few big platforms where you keep ~75% and control pricing. Typical listed rates are $25-$60/hr. Best mix of volume and autonomy.
> 
> **2. Preply** - the one to use if you teach languages. Huge global student base, 120+ subjects, and the commission actually improves with tenure (starts around 33%, drops toward 18% as you log hours). Downside: that first-lesson cut is brutal and effective rates run lower ($15-$25/hr) until you build up.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
