## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: the biggest decision isn't *which* platform, it's *which model*. Marketplaces (you set your rate, you market yourself, they take a cut) pay roughly 2-4× what agency-style platforms pay, because agency platforms set the rate and keep the spread. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Wyzant - best default for US academic tutoring.** You set your own rate (commonly $25-$60/hr, higher for test prep and specialized subjects), students find and contact you. Commission is ~25%, dropping to ~20% after you cross roughly $2,000 in earnings. The cleanest, most predictable take rate of the big marketplaces, and no mandatory free lessons. ([sidehusl](https://sidehusl.com/preply/), [logicaldollar](https://logicaldollar.com/?p=4037))
> 
> **2. Outschool - best if you can teach kids in small groups.** You're paid 70% of class price × number of enrolled learners, so a 6-student class at $20 each is $84/hr to you. The 30% cut is the highest headline number on this list, but group economics more than compensate - typical teachers report ~$40/hr and top sellers much more. Best fit if you have a packageable curriculum rather than generic homework help. ([Outschool support](https://su
