## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them from a tutor's perspective - the big split is between marketplaces that take a cut of every lesson and directories where you just pay for leads and keep 100%.
> 
> **1. Wyzant** - The best default for US academic tutoring. You set your own rate, the marketplace is large (65,000+ tutors, 300+ subjects), and clients find you rather than the reverse. The catch is a flat 25% commission that never decreases no matter how long a student stays with you. Best if you can command $60-100/hr, since 25% of a good rate still beats 100% of nothing.
> 
> **2. Superprof** - The best economics if you can convert leads. It's a directory, not a middleman: students pay a subscription to contact tutors, and you're paid directly by the student at whatever rate you set, with no per-lesson cut. Downside is lead quality is uneven and you do all your own sales and scheduling. Excellent as a second listing alongside Wyzant.
> 
> **3. Preply** - Strongest for languages and for reaching international students. Its commission starts brutal at 33% but drops toward 18% as you accumulate lesson hours, so it rewards sticking around. Rates skew low ($10-40/hr), so treat it as volume work or as a pipelin
