Earnings

You set the price. So you set the ceiling.

There's no hourly rate here and no pay grade. You bid your own number on every request, keep up to 92% of it, and withdraw whenever you like. Below: a calculator to model your own month, the four kinds of work you can bid on, and the honest limits.

Model your month

What could you earn?

Move the sliders and the arithmetic follows: your price, times the jobs you take, minus the service fee. The starting positions are illustrative examples, not platform averages — change them to whatever you'd actually charge.

Very few tutors sustain this month after month — read it as an upper bound, not a target.

Illustrative. Your actual earnings depend on which bids you win, the prices you set and how much work you take on. Nothing here is a guarantee of income.

What work pays

The four kinds of work

Four kinds of request come through the app, and they're worth very different amounts. The bands below are illustrative examples — every student sets their own budget and you set your own price against it. Specialists who take on the bottom two categories earn the most per hour of effort.

Rapid Q&A
$40–$120
per question

A single problem, usually same-day. Small amounts, but the fastest way to build a rating when you're new.

Homework help
$120–$300
per assignment

Problem sets and weekly assignments. The highest volume category — most tutors' bread and butter.

Exam assistance
$200–$500
per exam

Timed midterms and finals. Pays well and fewer tutors bid, because the window is tight.

Projects & thesis
$500–$1,500
per project

Multi-week work on one agreed price. Where subject specialists make the most money.

Three realistic months

What it looks like at different intensities

Nobody is assigned a workload here, so these aren't tiers you're placed into. They're worked examples — jobs multiplied by price, minus the fee — to show how commitment changes the total.

EXAMPLE · ALONGSIDE STUDY

Occasional

$400–$800
per month
  • 3–5 jobs, mostly homework help
  • A few hours a week, evenings and weekends
  • Fee still at 10% — streak hasn't built yet
  • Good for testing whether this suits you
EXAMPLE · PART-TIME

Steady

$1,200–$2,500
per month
  • 8–12 jobs across homework and exams
  • 10–20 hours a week
  • Fee down to 8–9% from bidding consistently
  • Strong enough rating to win at higher prices
EXAMPLE · FULL-TIME

Specialist

$4,000+
per month
  • 15–25 jobs, including thesis and project work
  • Full-time hours, in a subject with high demand
  • Fee at the 8% floor
  • A rating and completion record that wins premium bids

The fee

10% to start. 8% once you're a regular.

One percentage, taken only from work you win and complete. Bidding, chatting and negotiating are always free, however many requests you go for.

10%
Starting out

Your rate on day one. On a $250 job you keep $225.

8.5%
Bidding consistently

A few days into a bid streak. The app shows your current rate on the home screen at all times.

8%
The floor

The best rate available. On that same $250 job you keep $230.

No surprises, ever

Before you submit any bid, the app tells you the exact figure that will land in your balance. You never do this arithmetic yourself.

Nothing else is deducted

No listing fees, no subscription, no per-bid charge, no commission on messages, and no withdrawal fee on standard payouts.

No payroll cycle

There's no monthly cut-off and no pay run to wait for. A job approved this morning can be in your bank this week.

Earning more

What actually moves your income

Your rating and completion rate

Students choose between bids, and they can see both. A tutor at ★4.9 with 98% completion wins jobs at prices a new tutor can't ask for yet.

Specialising, not spreading

Picking three subjects you're genuinely strong in beats claiming twelve. Match quality goes up, your win rate goes up, and the guarantee stops being a risk.

Bidding early

Requests with one or two bids are far easier to win than ones with eight. Getting there first is worth more than undercutting.

Moving up the categories

The same hour spent on a thesis chapter pays several times what it pays on rapid Q&A. Build the record that lets you bid on project work.

Taking the tight deadlines

Exam windows and same-day requests get fewer bids because most tutors avoid them. If you can deliver reliably, that's where the margin is.

%

Keeping the streak

Bidding consistently drops your fee from 10% to 8%. On $2,000 a month that's an extra $40 for doing nothing differently.

The honest limits

Nothing here is guaranteed income. You're paid per job you win, and if you bid on nothing you earn nothing. There's no retainer and no base.

A missed grade guarantee means no payment for that task. We promise students a minimum of 80+; if it isn't met they're refunded in full and the tutor isn't paid. That's the one real downside risk in the model, and it's why we'd rather you bid narrowly and well.

Volume varies by subject. Mathematics, statistics, computer science and physics see steady demand all year. Narrower subjects are quieter, and everything peaks around midterms and finals.

Questions

About the money

When exactly do I get paid?

The student's payment is held in escrow from the moment the job is agreed. On approval it moves into your available balance, minus the service fee. From there you withdraw whenever you like — 1–2 business days free, or instantly for 1.5%.

How often can I withdraw?

Whenever you like — there's no payroll cycle and no monthly cut-off. Approved money sits in your balance until you take it out.

Can I raise my price after I've bid?

Yes — if the scope turns out bigger than the brief suggested, you send a revised offer in chat and the student accepts or declines before work starts. The app always shows your net on the new figure.

Do I pay anything to be on the platform?

Nothing. No subscription, no listing fee, no charge per bid. The service fee applies only to work you win and complete.

What if the student never approves my work?

The money is already in escrow, so it isn't at risk. There's no automatic release, so nudge them in chat and contact support — we chase the approval and settle it from there.

Am I an employee?

No. You're an independent tutor choosing your own work and setting your own prices, so you're responsible for any tax that applies where you live.

Put a number on your own month

Apply with your details, CV and transcripts. We review within a week, and you can start bidding on matched requests the same day you're approved.
