The great thing is, that the students come without me searching for them. Therefore it's a bit unpleasant, that I have to teach for two weeks for free, even though it's not certain that the student wi... See more

Tutoroo is a great platform for both learners and tutors.

Tutoroo is a great platform for both language learners and tutors. Learners can easily find tutors who match their goals and learning style, while tutors gain access to a global pool of motivated students. The platform's simple, user-friendly system makes it easy to connect and build long-term learning partnerships.

Spreading Spanish through TUTOROO

Initially, I was not convinced about the system but honestly I have to say that the experience (it is the first that the company gives me a studente) was excellent. Hope to get more students to be able to expand my language (spanish) in NSW, particularly country side. I live in central coast, NSW and not everybody have access or the posibility to go to Syndey to learn.

They stole my money and Poor Customer Service

My experience with Tuteroo has been extremely disappointing. I purchased a package for face-to-face tutoring lessons, hoping to find a qualified tutor. However, the service has a significant flaw in its business model: it requires payment before confirming a tutor's availability.

After I had paid for the package, I was informed that the tutor I had selected was not available. This business practice is misleading and puts the customer at a disadvantage. To make matters worse, my requests for a refund have gone unanswered for over a month.

I am now in a situation where I have paid for a service that was not rendered, and the company is unresponsive to my requests for a refund. I would caution anyone considering using Tuteroo to be aware of this risk. Their policy of taking payment before confirming tutor availability, combined with their poor customer service, makes them an unreliable platform.

I cannot recommend Tuteroo based on my experience. I hope that by sharing my story, I can help other potential customers avoid a similar situation.

Paid for lessons

Paid for lessons – tutor unavailable, no refund from Tutoroo

I paid for private English lessons through Tutoroo.co and selected a tutor in Dubai.
After payment, I was informed that the tutor was not available and no suitable replacement could be arranged.

I contacted Tutoroo several times asking for a refund since no lessons were provided, but they refused and stopped responding.

This is unacceptable – the company takes payment in advance but does not guarantee that the tutor is available. I strongly advise others not to trust this platform until they change their refund policy and improve customer support.

I have all payment confirmations and email conversations as proof.

Verdict: Avoid Tutoroo – poor communication, no refund, and unreliable service.

Hi Muhammad,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We truly understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that your payment remains fully valid, and we already have Tutor Pam available and ready to begin your English lessons in Dubai. You may start your classes with her at your convenience.

Our team has been in touch several times to help you continue your lessons. While we’re unable to offer a refund as long as qualified tutors remain available to provide the service, your payment can be used as credit that will not be forfeited and can be applied at any time for any language and with any tutor of your choice.

We appreciate your understanding and are happy to assist you in arranging your first lesson with Tutor Pam.

Kind regards,

Very disappointing experience – lack of respect for tutors

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Tutoroo. They show absolutely no respect for the tutors who actually teach the lessons. The company keeps the full payment from the first two weeks of classes, claiming it’s part of their policy, and promises that if a student cancels, the tutor will be refunded half of that amount.
In my case: while I’m still waiting, I have already generated €336 (or more) of revenue for Tutoroo through lessons that I provided. And yet, for the classes I actually taught, which were paid for, I’m still waiting for the money they owe me. I’ve been waiting for two months. Despite the multiple messages I have sent their support team, all I get is “please wait” — no action, no resolution.
It’s extremely unprofessional and unfair. Tutoroo benefits from tutors’ work, keeps full amounts for the first two weeks, then doesn’t honour its own promised refund or payout schedule. I would not recommend this platform to other language teachers until they start treating tutors with honesty, transparency and respect.

I have met this instructor and we have agreed on a plan. But she said she was unwell for second lesson. We skipped it. Then she ghosted me for our 3rd lesson.

Edit: Had multiple unpleasant experiences with multiple tutors. But the platform helped me with other instructors. I thought I was leaving a reply for the tutor, not the platform itself.
