Fair pricing. Tutors keep 95%.
No subscriptions. No bundles. No surprise fees. Pay the tutor’s rate, we take a flat 5% from the tutor’s payout to keep the lights on.
How a £30 lesson breaks down
That’s it. No card surcharge, no booking fee, no “service” fee added at checkout. The fee is deducted from the tutor’s payout, not added to your bill.
Compare that to most platforms, which take 20–25% — forcing tutors to either raise rates or accept thinner margins. We’d rather keep the rate honest.
