Key Differences
25% Is a Lot More Than It Sounds
Wyzant's 25% fee means for every 4 hours you work, you give 1 full hour to them. That's one hour of work, every day, for free. TutorBoost charges 0% on lessons—you keep everything.
Build Your Own Client Base
With TutorBoost, students come directly to you. They're your clients, not Wyzant's. Get referrals, repeat business, and build relationships that last beyond any platform.
Specialize and Stand Out
Run targeted ads for exactly what you teach—SAT prep, calculus, specific AP subjects. No competing with thousands of generic profiles. Your expertise, your audience.
Know Your Numbers
See exactly what you spend on ads and what you get back. Track cost per student, compare performance over time. Wyzant just takes their cut and shows you a balance.
