Hi Thicha,

We are sorry to hear about your concern and understand how frustrating a payment delay can be.

Please be assured that payments are processed in accordance with our stated policy and timeline. In some cases, additional verification or internal coordination may be required, which can cause delays.

We have coordinated this matter with our Chiang Mai team to follow up accordingly and ensure it is reviewed as a priority. Our team will continue assisting until this is properly resolved.

Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention.

Best regards,

It took quite a long time to get my payout. I can not believe why it took 8 months to get my fee paid only for one lesson .

Hi Yuko,

Thank you for your feedback.

We sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced with your payout. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait an extended period of time, especially for a completed lesson.

Payout timelines can occasionally be affected by factors such as lesson confirmation processes, payment method verification, or administrative reviews. That said, an 8-month delay is certainly not the standard experience we aim to provide, and we regret that this was your case.

We appreciate your patience while the matter was being resolved. Please rest assured that we are continuously reviewing our internal processes to ensure payouts are handled more efficiently and transparently for our tutors.

If there is anything further we can assist you with, our support team remains available to help.

Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Best regards,
The TUTOROO Team

Great tutor

I’ve had a great experience with Mina so far! Her lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my specific needs. She’s also extremely friendly and easy to talk to, which makes practising the language orally feel comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend! 😊

Great way to connect with a language Tutor.

We have been looking to get some tutoring in the Czech language for our children, but finding it tricky to connect with a tutor. Tutoroo seemed too good to be true - direct messaging with them and with a day getting replies from both them and the tutor. I was unsure about the upfront fee - but once paid, the tutor made a time to meet, and it couldn't have been smoother. Very happy with this service and connecting us with a great tutor.

Tutoroo was instrumental in connecting my current student Dutch to me. I found the website a bit inflexible in that the lesson duration seems preset at 90 minutes which did not suit either of us. But the website only presets what happens during the first two weeks, the Tutoroo business model is good in that it allows direct communication between student and teacher as soon as the first two weeks is paid for.

Avoid Tutoroo as a tutor or student at all costs

I'm a tutor on Tutoroo and I've been experiencing difficulties when they have to pay me.
Tutoroo policy states that if a student doesn't want to continue with you after the first two lessons, you are entitled to 50% of the total for those first two lessons.
I've been chasing the Tutoroo support team for over two or three months and even though I've got a reply, they haven't paid me, they say they are checking it, it's been confirmed with the student but they haven't paid me yet. It is incredibly time consuming and unprofessional.
As a tutor, I won't recommend Tutoroo, you are better off starting on Preply or iTalki. Those platforms are fair and offer better services for both students and tutors.

Hi Marina,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.

We understand how frustrating delayed payments can be, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and time this has caused you. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide to our tutors.

Your concern has been noted, and we will coordinate directly with our London team and Finance team to review the case and follow up on the outstanding payment in line with our policy. Ensuring clarity and timely resolution is important to us, and we regret that this has not been handled as smoothly as it should have been.

Thank you for your patience while this is being addressed. We take feedback like this seriously, as it helps us identify areas where we need to improve our processes and communication.

Best regards,

WHO LIKES BEING DECEIVED?

THE TUTOROO PLATFORM STAFF REFUSED TO PUT THINGS STRAIGHT WHEN I POSED THEM REASONABLE QUESTIONS, SUCH AS ''HOW MANY CLASSES AM I SUPPOSED TO GIVE THE STUDENT FOR FREE TO START CHARGING ANYTHING FINALLY?'' UP THIS MOMENT I MET THE STUDENT THRICE AND WITHOUT EARNING ANY PENNY.

(This is in response to your “clarification”)
It turns out that during the course of those first two weeks, the student only received one lesson, as it coincided with the Christmas and New Year holidays. However, you charged the student in advance for four lessons, regardless of whether the student took the lessons in one week or over the course of a year. When I explained that you should issue a refund to the student for this reason, you refused.

This caused a great deal of confusion, where no one seemed to know anything and no one was willing to take responsibility for anything, and in the end I was the only one who lost out. You kept all the money and refused to issue any kind of refund; the student paid for four lessons in advance but only received three lessons, and I did not receive a single penny, either from the student or from you. On top of that, I lost the student because of this situation.

You have not been clear, either with me (as you initially told me one thing and then another depending on what suited you best) or with the student. In conclusion, regardless of what you say, you have misled both of us.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your message. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

During the tutor sign-up process, the TUTOROO Introductory Guide and terms are presented for review. Profile activation only proceeds once this step is completed, which indicates acceptance of the introductory structure, including lesson handling and payout conditions. All activated tutors are therefore considered to have agreed to these terms before starting lessons on the platform.

As outlined in our Terms and Tutor FAQs, TUTOROO collects and holds the first two weeks of payments for each newly confirmed student. This may cover one lesson per week (2 lessons total) or two lessons per week (4 lessons total), depending on the agreed schedule. After this initial period, tutors keep 100% of their lesson fees directly from the student.

If a student discontinues during the first two weeks, a payout equivalent to 50% of the completed lessons paid for is issued to the tutor, in accordance with our policy.

In your case, although you have met the student three times, the booking is still within the initial two-week introductory period, which is why no payout has been released yet. This does not mean the lessons are unpaid, but that they fall under the standard introductory structure applied to all new tutor–student matches.

We’re sorry if this was unclear at the time and understand how frustrating this may feel. If you would like us to review your case further, please contact us directly with your registered email and student details so we can assist you.

Best regards,
The TUTOROO Team

Great job of the support team

Great job of the support team, they are fast and efficientin, and in putting students and tutors in contact. On the other hand I think that giving four, one hour and a half, classes for free is is too much, specially when the student only wants a few lessons. I even had a student that only wanted two classes and told me after the second class.

Money trap and no customer support

After I selected a teacher and the 3 of us (tutoroo, me and the teacher) agreed when to start and how often to meet, I had to pay for the first 2 classes and the rest are to be paid directly to the teacher.However, when I paid the page refreshed and instead of 2 and I paid for 4 classes. I reached out to tutoroo and I was told that after the first 2 classes I will be reimbursed. Thad has not happened and most of my messages on this topic were ignored. Having the option to pay for more than 2 classes when after 2 the teacher has to be paid it itself a money trap. Very disappointing experience. I consider now a debt recovery company .

We regret any confusion caused during the payment process and sincerely apologize if our communication did not meet your expectations. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback has been noted so we can improve clarity and support moving forward.

Please rest assured that the team is reviewing your case, and we appreciate your patience while this is being handled.

Appalling Service

I opted for 2 weeks of lessons for 2 people and paid the amount quoted. After the first lesson, the tutor Dudu asked for more money and when I explained what I had been quoted and therefore paid for, the tutor cancelled the remaining 3 lessons and I have not received a refund or any response to my complaints from Tutoroo.

Unpaid tutor payout after 40 working days

I am a tutor on TUTOROO and this was my first student on the platform.

The student completed 4 lessons, and TUTOROO confirmed that I am entitled to a payout of SAR 390.

I was informed that the payout process would take up to 30 working days. However, more than 40 working days have now passed, and I still have not received the payment.

I have followed up multiple times through the platform and via email. Support repeatedly says the case is with the Finance team, but no transaction reference, payment date, or clear explanation has been provided.

This experience has been very disappointing, especially as a first payout, and raises serious concerns about reliability for tutors.

Terrible customer service and…

Terrible customer service and overcharging policy. I agreed a rate with the tutor, who was great, and although this wasn’t the rate shown on the site - the customer service informed to go ahead and they would charge only the correct amount. I’ve been in discussion with them now for more than a month and they won’t refund me the difference. The reason is that I have a different child attending for each 1 hour of the 2 hour session booked - therefore it’s their policy to charge double the fee which is obviously ridiculous if only one is attending at a time. I dont believe this is their policy, however they just don’t want to honor the refund they agreed after instructing me to book. They have ignored the fact I have an email from them telling me what the process would be. It’s knowingly stealing from their customers. It’s a shame because the tutor is brilliant, and she didn’t get anything from this overcharging.
I would never go near this company again and would strongly recommend others to stay away from their bad practices.

Hi Eleanor,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating this situation has been, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

Our booking form is designed for one-hour lessons with two students attending at the same time. When it was later indicated that each student would attend one hour separately, this resulted in a total of two hours, as our system does not support adjusting a single booking for back-to-back individual lessons.

In addition, please note that each student is required to pay for the first two weeks of lessons. As there were two students registered, this results in a total of four one-hour lessons being correctly covered by the payment.

At present, we do not offer an option for two students to attend sequential individual lessons under one booking—only simultaneous group lessons or separate individual bookings are available.

We understand this may not have been the intended arrangement, and we’re sorry for any confusion caused. However, as the booking and payment were processed correctly and sufficiently according to our system and policies, we’re unable to proceed with a refund.

We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear your positive comments about the tutor.

Kind regards,
The TUTOROO Team
