Wyzant** - My first pick if you're US-based. You set your own rate, which is the single biggest factor in tutor earnings. The take is 25%, dropping to 20% after you've earned $2,000 lifetime, and average posted rates sit around $35-65/hr with university-level tutors charging $50-90. Strong student demand for test prep and STEM. ([Wyzant commission details](https://blog.wyzant.com/?p=4482), [rate comparison](https://www.myengineeringbuddy.com/blog/?p=11303))\n\n**2. Superprof** - Lowest friction to list and the cheapest commission structure of the big marketplaces (~20%, and students pay a monthly pass rather than per-lesson fees to the platform). Good for building a local in-person + online mix. Quality of leads is mixed, so treat it as a lead-gen channel rather than your main income. ([Superprof comparison](https://www.superprof.com/blog/superprof-wyzant-comparison/))\n\n**3. Preply** - Best volume and global reach, especially for languages and business English, but the worst economics early on: commission starts near 33% on your first hours with each new student and only falls to roughly 18-22% a", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
