Benefits of TUTOROO
No one likes to learn a foreign language in front of a computer screen. In-person teaching is the best way to acquire a new language and that’s what TUTOROO offers.
TUTOROO’s tutors are people teaching their native language to students. The platform doesn’t require its teachers to have actual teaching credentials or experience. The only thing they have to be is a native speaker of the language they are supposed to teach.
Because the tutors are teaching their native language, the students learn more than grammar and a set of words. They learn a language on a conversational basis as well as the culture of their tutor’s home country. The tutors are encouraged to share knowledge, not only language.
TUTOROO doesn’t require tutors to deliver their classes in a classroom. The tutors are free to set their own schedule together with their students to their convenience. There is no fixed curriculum, it all revolves around meeting the student’s needs.
Tutors are allowed to teach according to their own methods as long as it is agreeable with the student.
There are no registration fees or agency costs for tutors. The platform gets the earnings from the tutor’s first 2 weeks of classes. After that, the student pays the tutor directly.
