Our review of online language tutoring companies and what to expect, from tutors who work for them (including updates on policies and commission rates)
Hi Andromeda. Thanks for your interesting post. Italki's commission has increased from 15% to 21% for one-off one-to-one lessons. As you say, the commission rate is lower for packages of lessons. They're also promising the chance to get 2% back as a reward for retaining students, not cancelling lessons and so on. It's too early to know how easy that's going to be to get! The only time they take 30% is for group lessons.
Ah great. Thank you for the clarification. I did speak to an iTalki tutor, but what he was saying was very convoluted and I must have got the wrong end of the stick. I'll update it now.
Hi Andromeda
I have an ex-teacher of mine (From my days of running a school) who works for Verbling.
Not sure when she got in, but I felt it was a while ago. She uses it only as a fall-back-on.
She says she makes more with her Chinese children.
Hey Ayl, great to see you here. Thanks for the comment :)
