The catch: it takes a ~25% commission off every lesson, so price accordingly. Best breadth of student demand in the US.\n\n**Superprof** - You set rates, keep more of the money, and can list both in-person and online across 1,200+ subjects. The model is lead-generation rather than managed matching: students contact you, which means more marketing effort on your part but less middleman.\n\n**Preply** - Best if you teach languages. Huge international student base and strong booking volume, but the commission is steep (starts around 33% for new tutors and slides down with hours taught), and reported average pay is only ~$18/hr. Good for filling an empty calendar, bad as a long-term home.\n\n**italki** - Languages again, 150+ of them, with notably more tutor freedom than Preply: lower commission, no subscription lock-in, you control pricing and scheduling. If you teach a language, I'd try italki b", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
