The cost difference
Same tutor. Less money.
Commission-based platforms charge students ~25% over the tutor's rate to fund the platform. We charge a one-off £20 to unlock — then we step out of the way. Over a course of lessons, that adds up.

20 × £40.00/hr
Tutor's rate £30/hr + ~25% platform markup, baked into every lesson.
Through us
£620
20 × £30/hr + £20 unlock
You save £180 over a 20-lesson course.
Worked example: 20 lessons at £30/hr; commission-platform markup conservative-end of the 15-35% industry range.
