Answers to common questions about learning, tutoring, and using Tutlee.

For Learners

How do I find a tutor?
Go to Tutor Match, search for your subject, and describe your specific weak area — not just the general topic. Tutlee matches you to tutors who are strongest in exactly what you're struggling with, then you pick a time and book.
What happens after a session ends?
Tutlee automatically generates a short assessment based on what was covered in your session. Complete it within 48 hours — your score determines whether you move on to the next topic or a rebook is suggested.
What are Study Rings?
Study Rings are open group sessions hosted by tutors — free to join, free to contribute. They're designed for peer collaboration and exam prep, separate from one-on-one paid tutoring.
Is booking a session free?
Creating an account and browsing tutors is always free. You only pay for the sessions you book. See our Pricing for full details.

For Tutors

How do I become a verified tutor?
Complete Know-Your-Tutor (KYT) verification: submit a government ID and academic credential, pass a subject proficiency test, and complete a short live demo teaching session. Unverified tutors cannot receive bookings.
How do I get paid?
You set your own hourly rate per subject. Payments are processed securely, and earnings are transferred to you according to the payout schedule once a session is completed.
Can I teach and learn at the same time?
Yes — many students do both. You can add both roles to your account from Settings.
Can tutors host Study Rings?
Yes, tutors can create and host Study Rings. Note that Study Rings are for open peer collaboration, not formal one-on-one instruction.

Account & Payments

Why do I need a university email to sign up?
Tutlee is built exclusively for students, so we verify accounts using university email addresses to confirm you're currently affiliated with an academic institution. If your university uses a non-standard domain, your account may be held briefly for manual review.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
You can reschedule from My Sessions, based on your tutor's cancellation policy shown before booking. Rescheduling less than 1 hour before a session may incur a small penalty fee.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. Payments are processed through secure, encrypted payment providers — Tutlee does not store your full card details.

Safety & Trust

How are tutors verified?
Every tutor completes KYT verification before teaching. Learners can also leave ratings and reviews after every session to help maintain a trusted community.
How do I report a problem?
Use the "Report harassment" or "Report academic fraud" options in Settings → Safety & Account. Reports are reviewed by our team, typically within 24 hours.
Is my data safe?
Yes — read our full Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect your data.
