The question asked, verbatim: best tutoring platforms for tutors
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Wyzant recommended
Wyzant - My default recommendation for US academic tutoring.
- Superprof mentioned
Superprof - Lead-generation rather than a true marketplace: you list a profile, students pay a subscription to contact you, and you keep your lesson fee.
- Preply mentioned
Preply - The largest student volume, especially for languages, but the worst economics: sliding commission of 18-33% based on hours taught, and Preply keeps 100% of every trial lesson with a new student.
- Outschool mentioned
Outschool - Best earnings ceiling for anyone who can teach groups: $40-100/hr, ~$50 average, with a 30% platform fee.
- Codementor mentioned
Codementor - If you tutor programming, this has the highest hourly floor I found, around $60/hr.
- Tutor.com mentioned
Tutor.com - Reliable on-demand volume and a real employer-like structure, but pay tops out around $35/hr and is often much less.
- Varsity Tutors mentioned
Varsity Tutors - Huge brand and plenty of students, but tutor pay averages roughly $17/hr tutoring and $15/hr test prep.
- Cambly mentioned
Cambly - Lowest barrier to entry (conversational English, no degree needed), lowest rates.
- TutorBird recommended
- TutorBird - Best for solo tutors and small operations: scheduling, invoicing, payments, affordable and simple.
- Teachworks mentioned
- Teachworks - Step up for multi-tutor outfits;
- TutorCruncher recommended
- TutorCruncher - Best for agencies scaling up (UK-centric), with CRM, payroll, and business analytics.
- Scaling Up recommended
- TutorCruncher - Best for agencies scaling up (UK-centric), with CRM, payroll, and business analytics.
- Lessonspace mentioned
- Lessonspace - Purpose-built online whiteboard/classroom if you leave a platform and lose its lesson tools.
- Wyzant + Outschool mentioned
My honest advice: start on Wyzant + Outschool, use Preply or Cambly only to fill gaps, and get onto TutorBird or similar within your first year so repeat students pay you directly.

The answer, as recorded
Searched. Here's how I'd rank them, split by what you actually want out of a platform. ## Marketplaces where you find your own students 1. **Wyzant** - My default recommendation for US academic tutoring. You set your own rate, and the commission is 25% until you've earned $2,000, then drops to 20%. Transparent, no forced free trials, and students come to you. 2. **Superprof** - Lead-generation rather than a true marketplace: you list a profile, students pay a subscription to contact you, and you keep your lesson fee. Good as a free top-of-funnel alongside something else. (Its exact fee terms vary by country - confirm on the signup page for yours.) 3. **Preply** - The largest student volume, especially for languages, but the worst economics: sliding commission of **18-33%** based on hours taught, and Preply keeps **100% of every trial lesson** with a new student. Worth it to fill an empty schedule, not to build a career on. ## Set your own classes / highest rates 4. **Outschool** - Best earnings ceiling for anyone who can teach groups: **$40-100/hr, ~$50 average**, with a 30% platform fee. You design your own courses, so one good class scales to many students at once. 5. **Codementor** - If you tutor programming, this has the highest hourly floor I found, around **$60/hr**. Niche but very well paid. 6. **italki** - Best for language tutors: you set your rate, commission is lower than Preply's, and the student base is global. ## Steady hours, lower pay 7. **Tutor.com** - Reliable on-demand volume and a real employer-like structure, but pay tops out around **$35/hr** and is often much less. Good for consistency, not income maximization. 8. **Varsity Tutors** - Huge brand and plenty of students, but tutor pay averages roughly **$17/hr** tutoring and **$15/hr** test prep. I'd treat it as a starter credential, not a destination. 9. **Cambly** - Lowest barrier to entry (conversational English, no degree needed), lowest rates. Fine for beginners building hours and reviews. ## The actual endgame: your own practice Every platform above takes 15-33%. Once you have ~10 regular students, moving them to your own booking system is the single biggest raise available to you: - **TutorBird** - Best for solo tutors and small operations: scheduling, invoicing, payments, affordable and simple. - **Teachworks** - Step up for multi-tutor outfits; adds payroll, timesheets, and reporting. - **TutorCruncher** - Best for agencies scaling up (UK-centric), with CRM, payroll, and business analytics. - **Lessonspace** - Purpose-built online whiteboard/classroom if you leave a platform and lose its lesson tools. My honest advice: start on **Wyzant + Outschool**, use Preply or Cambly only to fill gaps, and get onto **TutorBird** or similar within your first year so repeat students pay you directly.
