An 8% fixed fee is deducted from the income of each lesson to cover the platform's operating costs ... Base rate is 30%. For every 6 hours of completed lessons, the fee is reduced by 1%.

We don’t offer one fixed rate - compensation is determined individually and updated quarterly. When setting the rate, we take into account several factors: the teacher’s experience, availability, performance during the demo lesson, and the type of contract. Estimated monthly pay (for part-time or full-time work) may range from 1,000 to 9.600 PLN (240 to 2100 EUR).
Commission fees: Trial 0%, Single Lesson 21%, 5-Lesson Package 19%, 10-Lesson Package 17%, 15-Lesson Package 15%, 20-Lesson Package 15%, Group Class 30%. (Teachers set their own prices.)
Take home from £13-£120/hour, with no experience needed.
The “Teacher Fee” is defined as Outschool’s take rate of 30% of the Parent’s payment of a Class Price, and the Teacher will receive 70% of the Class Price.
Choose your hourly rate and change it anytime. On average, English tutors charge $15-25 per hour. ... The commission for every trial lesson with a new student is 100%. For all subsequent lessons, the commission starts at 33% and decreases to 18% based on how many hours you've taught on the platform.
Our pay rates vary from country to country based on the cost of living and local market rates. For example: UK: 12-15€/hour Argentina: 8-10€/hour. Your rate will be confirmed during the selection process.
Verbling applies a 15% commission on teacher rates. This means that if you set your hourly rate at $20, you will receive $17 (85%).
Tutors set their own hourly rate and may change it at any time. ... All tutors agree to a flat 25% Platform Fee. ... This means 75% of your submitted hourly rate, minus any applicable taxes, will be distributed to you.

FAQ
Only from each company's own website or help centre. Every statement is quoted word for word with a link to the page and the date we checked it (November 1, 2026). We do not estimate, average or add figures.
Cambly and MyTutor and Twenix state a pay rate on their own pages. The others are marketplaces where teachers set their own price and the company keeps a commission or platform fee.
We checked the official pages of Education First, Engoo, Global VCC, JoyLinkABC, LingoAce, Lingoda, Magic Ears, Nao Now, NativeCamp, Novakid, Palfish, PEAK LEAP, Tutlo and found no public pay statement. Their pay is usually shared during the application. Teacher-reported pay, where we have it, is on each company page and is not official.
No. Companies change pay and fees, and your earnings depend on your hours, students and rate. Always confirm on the company's site before you apply.
