Contact us →How much does a tutor cost?
Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, shown on their profile. You pay that price, and nothing is added at checkout.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You only pay for the lessons you book. There’s no membership or monthly fee, and nothing to cancel.
How do I pay?
By credit or debit card when you book, on the tutor’s profile. For weekly lessons, you pay for the first lesson when you book, and each one after that is charged 12 hours before it starts.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Cancel online up to 24 hours before a lesson for a full refund. To change a time, request a new one from your client portal and your tutor confirms it.
Is there a discount for booking more lessons?
Yes. Book 10 or more lessons with the same tutor at once and you save 5%.
Are lessons online or in person?
Each tutor’s profile shows whether they teach online, in person or both.
I live outside Canada. Can I still book?
Yes. You can book online lessons from anywhere. Prices are in Canadian dollars, and the booking calendar shows times in your own time zone.
Can more than one student join a lesson?
Yes, if the tutor offers group lessons. Groups need at least 2 students.
Where do I manage my lessons?
In your client portal. You can see your upcoming lessons, join online lessons, and cancel or request a new time.
