We run a competing marketplace. That is a reason to be precise rather than persuasive, so every Wyzant figure here is quoted from their own support pages and dated.
What Wyzant charges
From Wyzant's support pages: "All tutors will retain 75% of their posted hourly rate for lessons with students and Wyzant will retain a 25% Platform Fee."
Separately, students pay a service fee: "all lessons are subject to the 9% service fee".
So a 60 USD lesson is 45 USD to the tutor, 15 USD to Wyzant from the tutor's side, and roughly 65 USD out of the student's pocket.
Two things are unusually good about this compared to the rest of the category. It is flat, so there is no schedule to climb and no hours accumulating toward a rate you do not have yet. And it is stated plainly in one sentence, which is more than most competitors manage.
The term most comparison articles miss
Wyzant also states: "When a new student creates a Wyzant account and attends lessons with the referring tutor, that tutor receives 100% of their rate, with no fee percentage deducted."
If you bring your own students, Wyzant takes nothing.
That is a better deal than any percentage anyone else offers, including us, and it changes who should be reading the rest of this article. A tutor who markets themselves and uses the platform mainly for scheduling and payment is in close to the best available arrangement already. Leaving would cost them money.
The people for whom Wyzant is expensive are those relying on it for discovery, paying 25% on every lesson it introduces.
What to compare if you are looking
1. Where do your students come from? If you find them yourself, Wyzant's referral term is very hard to beat. If Wyzant finds them, 25% is the real price.
2. Demand in your subject. Wyzant is large and largely US-focused with genuine search traffic behind it. A better rate somewhere with no students is worth nothing.
3. The total price to your student. The 9% service fee sits on top of your rate. A platform charging the student less can support a higher rate for you at the same total cost.
4. What resets. Reviews and ranking do not travel.
5. Whether you can be paid at all. Check the payout countries before anything else. Ours are [listed here](/teach/countries) and the list is shorter than most people expect.
What TutorBoost charges, in the same terms
A flat rate on ordinary lessons that does not change with hours taught, so the comparison with Wyzant is unusually clean: both are flat, and ours is lower on a lesson the platform introduced.
Where Wyzant is better: the referral term. We charge our normal rate on a student you brought yourself, and they charge nothing. If most of your students are your own, stay where you are.
Where we differ on the student side: we charge a small flat booking fee per lesson rather than a percentage, which is cheaper on an expensive lesson and more expensive on a cheap one.
And the caveat that applies to everything we publish: we are early, our directory is not yet open, and Wyzant has real demand today. Judge us on whether students arrive.

A note on sourcing
Wyzant's support site refuses automated requests, so these figures were read from the Internet Archive's capture of Wyzant's own pages, dated 20 June 2026. That is their wording at a known date rather than a summary of it. Fees change, so check the live page before making a decision on it.
