## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short version
> 
> Which platform is "best" depends almost entirely on one thing: **do you want to set your own rate (marketplace) or be handed students at a fixed rate (employer)?** Marketplaces pay much more per hour but make you do your own marketing and survive a brutal cold-start. Employers pay less but hand you a queue.
> 
> Here's the order I'd actually go in:
> 
> **1. Wyzant** - My default recommendation for US tutors. You set your own rate ($25-$60 typical for academic subjects), and the site has real traffic. The cut is ~25%, dropping as a student rebooks. The honest catch: the cold start is rough - tutors report applying to 20+ job-board posts for a single student, and it can take months to land a first lesson without reviews. Worth it because once you have a repeat book, the economics are the best of any marketplace. [sidehusl.com/wyzant](https://sidehusl.com/wyzant/)
> 
> **2. Varsity Tutors** - The best "just give me students" option. $15-$40/hr, no commission taken from you, but *they* set your rate (negotiated up front) and hand you the students. Pick this if you'd rather tutor than market. [sidehusl.com/varsity-tutors](https://sidehusl.com/varsity-tutors/)
> 
> **3. Preply** -
