How fees work: service fee vs tutor lesson price

To match you with the right private tutor, we may charge a TutorMatch UA service fee. The tutor sets the lesson price directly.

Most directories show subject-based listings. We review your goals, schedule, learning format, and experience level to build a shortlist, then you confirm fit with the tutor.
