Why Tutor Tracker’s Pricing Model is Fairer for Tutors and Parents

When it comes to private tutoring, parents want the best support for their children without overpaying, and tutors deserve to be fairly compensated for their expertise. Unfortunately, many tutoring platforms take a large commission from every lesson, making it more expensive for parents and reducing the earnings of tutors. At Tutor Tracker, we believe in a fairer, more transparent approach that benefits everyone.

How Other Tutoring Platforms Work
Most tutoring websites charge tutors a commission on every lesson they teach—often between 15-25%. This means that if a tutor charges £40 per hour, they may only take home £30 or less after the platform takes its cut. To make up for this, tutors increase their hourly rates, and in the end, it’s parents who pay more.

Additionally, some platforms add service or booking fees on top of the lesson price, further increasing costs for parents. This makes high-quality tuition less accessible for families who need it most, particularly when preparing for critical exams like National 5, Highers, and Advanced Highers.

How Tutor Tracker is Different
We’ve removed these unnecessary costs and introduced a simple, fair pricing model:

  • Tutors pay just £1 per month to list themselves on our directory.
  • Tutors keep 100% of their earnings—no commission, no hidden fees.
  • Parents pay nothing to browse, contact tutors, and arrange lessons.
  • The first year is free for tutors who sign up with our discount code, making it risk-free to try our platform.

Because we don’t take a cut from tutors, they don’t have to inflate their prices. This means parents get access to affordable tuition while tutors earn exactly what they deserve.

More Transparency, More Flexibility
With Tutor Tracker, there are no complicated fee structures or surprise charges. Tutors and parents communicate directly, set their own schedules, and agree on lesson prices without interference. This allows for a more personal and flexible learning experience, which is especially important for students preparing for exams and needing tailored support.

By choosing Tutor Tracker, tutors earn more, parents pay less, and students receive high-quality tuition without inflated costs. Whether your child needs help with National 5 maths, Higher English, or Advanced Higher physics, our platform ensures that finding expert tuition is straightforward and affordable.
