Question 1

How much does a private tutor cost?

Question 2

Are tutors on FolioTutors verified?

Question 3

How do I contact a tutor?

You can message any tutor directly from their profile page — no middleman. Simply click "Send a Message" on their profile. You can also contact tutors without an account by using the enquiry form on their profile.

Question 4

Does FolioTutors charge commission?
