Do not trust their "Teacher Protection Policy" – It's a scam

I am extremely disappointed with TUTOROO. I am a tutor (Divana) and I’ve had a student discontinue lessons after two sessions. According to their own "Teacher Protection Policy," tutors are guaranteed 50% of the fees for the first two weeks if a student quits.

However, getting this compensation is impossible. I have reached out multiple times through their platform and email, but I was ignored. I even tried contacting them on Facebook; they promised a response within 48 hours, but it has been much longer and still—silence.

TUTOROO collects the full payment from the student upfront but refuses to honor their obligation to the teachers. Seeing other reviews here, I realize I am not the only one facing this issue. They exploit tutors' time and effort without any accountability.

Avoid this platform if you value your time and work. They promise protection but deliver zero support.

Stay away from this company!!!!

Stay away from this company!!!!

They charged too much for my lessons from my credit card. Have been in endless conversations with their customer service for the last 4 months, always promising that they are processing my refund..now they decided not to pay me back and keep offering new tutors. I just want my money back and never again deal with this company!!

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English…

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English tutor and the onboarding process was simple and smooth. My profile was approved quickly, which is a great advantage for new tutors looking to start.
What I like about the platform is the flexibility—it allows you to set your own rates and schedule, and once you are connected with a student long-term, you can earn directly without commission after the first couple of weeks.
However, it’s important for new tutors to understand that students are not guaranteed. You need to actively promote your profile to get noticed. Also, the payment structure during the first two weeks can be a bit discouraging, as tutors do not receive full payment upfront and only earn partially if the student doesn’t continue.
Overall, TUTOROO is a good platform to gain experience and find private students, but it works best as a side hustle rather than a stable source of income.

SCAM WEBSITE!

SCAM WEBSITE!! Do not use this platform if you don’t want to risk losing your money.
I contacted several tutors, and they told me the platform had not paid them, which is why they refused to proceed with lessons. I requested a refund, but was informed that this was not possible.
Additionally, there was no clear step requiring users to review and agree to the payment terms before completing the transaction, which is highly concerning.
I HOPE NO ONE USES YOUR SERVICE ANYMORE!!

scam

Unreliable platform. Many tutors shown as “available” are actually inactive or unresponsive. It’s misleading and wastes time reaching out to people who never reply. Don’t trust the availability status here.

Hi FT,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been.

Tutor availability is based on their most recent activity, however, there are instances where some tutors may become unresponsive or inactive without immediate updates to their profiles. Please be assured that we continuously monitor and refine this to improve the accuracy shown on the platform.

over 6 months and still no news of my refund

It's been over 6 months that I didn't get any news other than the usual "we are following up internally and will get back to you within 48h" regarding a refund request compliant compliant with Tutoroo's refund policy. Despite almost WEEKLY follow up on my end in the past couple of months. Mostly via the support team but I've also sent a couple of emails to contact.tutoroo. You also didn't provide me with any substancial response here either. Just promises to look into it but nothing done after MONTHS. That's quite some delay... Especially considering you promised to investigate this further also on here. I personnaly don't trust this website anymore that has been leading me on. Look at your cases in Belgium that have been pending for that long and you'll know who I am. I will not discuss it on the platform anymore. I want updates on Trustpilot because once I get back to the platform and emails you will continue with your "we are following up on this" for weeks/months as you've done so far. Btw you promised on Trustpilot 1,5 months ago to solve this if I contact you. I contacted you and you never replied and never solved this. Please update me here on Trustpilot when you are about to solve this and when this is solved. Anything other than that is just leading me on. Thank you

Hi Anna,

We sincerely apologize for the prolonged delay and the frustration this has caused. We fully understand your concerns, especially given the length of time and the repeated follow-ups on your end.

Please be assured that we are continuously treating this matter as urgent and actively pushing it internally with the relevant team. We acknowledge that the lack of a concrete update is not acceptable, and we are working to move this toward resolution as quickly as possible.

We will provide an update as soon as there is confirmed progress or when the refund is about to be completed.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Do not recommend -- work customer service

This company is highly misleading — proceed with caution before purchasing.

I live in Cairo and specifically requested an in-person Czech tutor. I was asked to pay in advance, only to find out that the tutor was unavailable. It is unclear why the company allows payments to be processed before confirming tutor availability, as this creates a misleading expectation of service.

I made it clear that I was only interested in in-person lessons, not online alternatives. Despite this, the company has continued to ignore my refund request and instead offered online options that do not match what I paid for. DO NOT USE.

If a customer purchases in-person lessons, the company should either provide that exact service or issue a refund. Anything less is not acceptable.

Hi Costa,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and understand your expectation for in-person lessons.

At the moment, the Czech tutor in Cairo is unavailable. We have introduced an alternative tutor, Michaela, based in London, who is available for online lessons. If you are open to this option, you can proceed with her, and your existing payment will be used as credit, no additional payment is required.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed. We’re here to assist and ensure a suitable resolution.

Thank you.

Tutoroo is great for a tutor because of flexibility

Tutoroo is great for a tutor because of its flexible tutoring options. I am able choose online or face-to-face and there are also wide range of languages and subjects. It is also good for tutors like me who are looking for side income. The flexibility option is great as I am able to set my own schedule.
All in all, tutoroo is a great platform for both tutors and students.

Stay away from this portal is scam!
I worked as a teacher on Tutoroo, followed their policy, and never received any payment waiting over 3 months. The platform exploits educators, hides behind excuses, and refuses to honor agreements.

Delighted to be working together

I’m a Spanish and Italian teacher and I’ve been working with Tutoroo since 2023. I’ve found it to be a great place to meet students. The support team is always friendly and quick to respond. Of course, I’ve had lots of enquiries that don’t always lead to bookings, but that’s because people can’t quite make up their minds (perhaps due to the price of my lessons) – it has nothing to do with the site itself.
