> Here's how I'd rank them for a tutor trying to actually make money, not for a parent shopping for lessons:
> 
> **1. Wyzant** - The best default for US academic tutoring. You set your own rate ($25-$80+/hr is the typical range), you pick which students to take, and the student volume is real. The catch is the flat 25% commission that never decreases, so a $60 listing nets you $45. Best if you have credentials in a high-demand subject (math, SAT/ACT, CS) where you can price above the crowd.
> 
> **2. Outschool** - Highest self-reported average pay of any big platform, around $50/hr, because you teach small-group live classes instead of 1:1 - one hour of prep serves 8 kids. You set your own prices and class sizes. 30% commission is steep, but group economics more than cover it. Best if you can build a repeatable curriculum and market a niche (Minecraft coding, D&D writing club, AP Bio cram).
> 
> **3. Preply** - The one I'd name for language tutoring specifically, and for reaching students outside the US. Rates run ~$10-$40/hr. The important detail: commission starts at 33% and slides down to 18% as you accumulate lesson hours, so the first few months are rough and it gets meaningfully better if
