Hello! I am a passionate, certified English teacher dedicated to helping students build strong grammar, reading comprehension, and communication skills. My lessons are engaging…

How it works

The same three steps, from both sides.

A lesson is paid for before it happens and released after it does. That one rule is what makes the rest of this work.

  1. 01

    If you are learning

    Find someone and book

    Filter by subject, price and the hours that suit you. Pick a slot from the tutor's real calendar, not a request form.

    If you are teaching

    Your calendar fills itself

    You set your rate and your hours once. Students book into what is genuinely free, in their timezone and yours.

  2. 02

    If you are learning

    You pay when you book

    The lesson is paid for up front and held. If it does not happen, that money is not gone.

    If you are teaching

    The money is already there

    No invoicing, no chasing, no lesson taught on a promise. It is collected before you teach and held until you have.

  3. 03

    If you are learning

    Open the classroom

    Video, audio and a shared space in the browser. Nothing to install and no link to lose.

    If you are teaching

    Teach, and get paid for it

    Attendance is recorded by the room itself. Afterwards the money is released, minus 20% on Free and 10% on Pro, by the method you chose.

What protects you

Neither side has to take the other on faith.

A marketplace is two strangers agreeing to swap money for an hour of someone's attention. These are the parts that make that a reasonable thing to do.

Every tutor is checked by a person
Applications are read individually, not auto-approved on a filled-in form. Before a tutor can be paid, we verify that they are who their profile says they are.
Lesson money is held, not forwarded
A student pays when they book, and the platform holds it until the lesson has actually been taught. Nobody is out of pocket while a lesson is still in the future.
Disputes are settled on a record
The classroom records who joined and for how long, so a no-show is decided against evidence rather than argued between two people who each remember it differently.
Blocking works in both directions
If either side blocks the other, the connection is closed for both: no messages, no bookings, no way around it by starting a new thread.

A failed lesson has a recorded outcome. A qualifying cancellation returns the lesson price to the original payment method. Clear attendance evidence may issue platform credit or release the tutor's share automatically; uncertain or contested evidence goes to support review. The separate booking fee is normally non-refundable.

Before you ask

The things people want to know.

How much does a lesson cost?

Each tutor sets their own lesson price. Ordinary card bookings also include a $0.99 booking fee, shown separately before payment; eligible platform-credit, lesson-pack and Plus bookings waive it.

Can I book from my country?

Students in most countries can pay with an eligible card or supported wallet through Stripe Checkout. TutorBoost charges in US dollars. Visa and Mastercard have global cardholder coverage; other card brands and wallets vary by country. Every payment remains subject to the card issuer, Stripe, card-network rules, local law and sanctions, so no individual card is guaranteed to be accepted. Stripe currently prohibits transactions involving Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as sanctioned or otherwise restricted people.

What happens if I do not get on with my tutor?

Book someone else. There is nothing to cancel and no contract tying you to one teacher, and any lesson credit you are holding can be spent with any tutor on TutorBoost.

What if a lesson does not happen?

TutorBoost holds the lesson price until settlement. A qualifying cancellation returns that price to the original payment method or restores a pack lesson; the $0.99 booking fee is normally non-refundable. Clear classroom attendance may settle automatically. If evidence is missing, conflicting or contested, support reviews it. Other failed-lesson outcomes may be issued as platform credit rather than cash.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Lessons run in your browser, with video, audio and a shared space. There is no app to download and no meeting link to lose.

How do you check the tutors?

A person reads every application rather than approving whoever fills in the form, and we verify a tutor is who their profile says they are before they can be paid.

When can I actually book someone?

We are approving the first tutors now and opening to learners as soon as there are teachers worth booking. Tell us what you want to learn and we will email you when there is someone here to teach it, starting with the subjects the most people are waiting for.
