Tutor House is a UK platform known for higher-end, degree-qualified tutors. iTutorOnline aims for the same quality bar through verification, but with a lower, flatter fee and no cost to get started. Here is the side-by-side.
How Tutor House works
Tutor House lists tutors who are educated to at least degree level with demonstrable teaching experience. Rates vary widely by experience, from around €20 to €40 per hour at the beginner end up to €60 to €100 per hour for top-ranked tutors.
A couple of details shape the cost:
- A registration fee. Students pay a registration fee of around €20, which is refundable if no suitable tutor is found.
- Sliding commission for tutors. Tutors are charged a commission on a sliding scale, roughly 15% to 25%, falling as they teach more hours. Some tutor reviews mention sizeable deductions and occasional admin or payment issues.
If you want a curated pool of experienced, degree-level tutors and you are comfortable with premium rates, Tutor House is built for that.
How iTutorOnline works
iTutorOnline keeps the fee model simple and the same for everyone.
- Flat 15% commission, no tier to climb. Tutors keep 85% from their very first lesson, rather than starting at a higher rate and working it down over time.
- No registration fee. It costs nothing to sign up, browse, or message tutors. You pay for lessons and nothing else.
- The price you see is the price you pay. The €5 per hour platform fee is already included, with no booking fees.
- Verified tutors. Every tutor passes ID and age verification, with optional diploma verification, so quality and trust are checked up front.
Who each platform is best for
Tutor House suits families specifically seeking premium, degree-level tutors and who do not mind a registration fee and higher rates for that curation.
iTutorOnline suits anyone who wants verified, quality tutors without paying to register, with a low flat commission that helps keep rates reasonable and a clear total before you book.
