Pros

I have been a tutor through Tutor Hunt for over 5 years and gained many students and good feedback from students through them. However at the end of 2019 they decided to change their policy and charge tutors 25% of their lesson fee when it was previously a commission free service. The unfair strategy they have adopted here is to target the popular tutors with lots of feedback and make them put their prices up and therefore lose leads. On their website it states that only tutors who joined after April 2019 would be on the commission service. This is untrue and false advertising. Tutors now have to be paid through Tutor Hunt once they are paid by students, but I have heard bad reviews about this and the fact that they don't pay what is owed to tutors! They're fraudsters. And to top it all off they don't reply to complaint emails from tutors or answer the phone! Who would want to get work through those charlatans? I certainly won't and I advise prospective tutors and students to avoid them with a barge pole.

Cons

Failure to answer support email or answer the phone. Changing their policy but only making it affect select 'popular' tutors as they know they'll be able to milk more from us.

Pros

Technically still works, I guess.

Cons

The commission is so high, that if I take more than minimum wage I can't get any students. I have no interest in working for minimum wage, therefore I have very little use left for this site.
