Here's how I'd rank them, split by what you actually want out of a platform.\n\n## Marketplaces where you find your own students\n\n1. **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.\n2. **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.)\n3. **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.\n\n## Set your own classes / highest rates\n\n4. **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.\n5. **Codem", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
