Frequently asked questions

What does '10% commission forever' actually mean?

Founding tutors pay 10% on every lesson, permanently. This rate is locked to your account and will never increase, even if we raise standard rates later. It's our way of rewarding early believers.

Do I need teaching certifications?

No. We welcome native speakers, qualified teachers, and experienced tutors alike. What matters is your ability to help students learn effectively.

What languages can I teach?

We support Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian and European), Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, and English. More languages coming soon.

How do I get paid?

Through Stripe Connect, directly to your bank account. Payments are processed weekly. No Skrill, no Payoneer — just direct deposits.

Can I bring my existing students?

Absolutely. Share your TutorLingua profile link with your current students. They can book directly through your page, and you keep 90% of every lesson.

What happens after the first 200 spots are filled?

New tutors will join at our standard commission rate (to be announced). Founding tutors keep their 10% rate forever — that's the whole point of joining early.

Is there a minimum teaching commitment?

No. Teach 1 hour a week or 40. You set your own schedule and availability. No minimums, no penalties for being unavailable.
