Tutors don't show up

Started off good, when they referred me a bunch of English tutors for my father in law. Turns out none of the tutors were vetted. It's been 3 months and the tutors recommended didn't show up for scheduled lessons. They also STOOD BY their no-refund policy unless there are no available tutors. After spending 3 million IDR with them, and 0 lessons in the past 3 months, I would expect a refund for not getting what we signed up for.

Hi Ming,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you’ve experienced. We completely understand how frustrating it must be to have tutors not show up as expected.

Please allow us to clarify that as per our policy, payments are non-refundable as long as there are available tutors for the selected language. In your case, we have checked and confirm that one of our English tutors, David, is currently available and ready to support your father-in-law’s learning needs.

We are more than willing to assist you in coordinating the lessons to ensure a smooth and positive experience going forward. Please reach out to our Jakarta support team through the platform so we can help arrange this promptly.

What a wonderful tutor

What a wonderful tutor! Catarina is so patient and attentive, helpful with grammar, idioms, verb tenses, and ease with conversing. I highly recommend her. I have visited Lisboa often, and it's fun to talk to her about her city.

🌟 A Wonderful Experience So Far

🌟 A Wonderful Experience So Far

Although TUTOROO knew that I didn’t have any reviews or ratings when I first joined, they've truly exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, the team has been incredibly supportive and proactive in helping me get started. They’ve already connected me with at least three potential students, which speaks volumes about their commitment and dedication.

I’m genuinely happy with the experience and feel that TUTOROO really cares about both their tutors and their students. I'm excited to keep growing with them and would definitely recommend their platform to others who are passionate about teaching.

Thank you for everything! 🤍

Tutoroo will ghost you istead of…

Tutoroo will ghost you istead of refund.

I was supposed to get a refund. Tutoroo first started to make things longer and the process harder. But I did not stop. I kept reminding. They accepted that I have the right for the refund. It took months, they run out obstructions. They asked me for my Paypal account. The communication got ghosted. Few times they replied, that the refund is taking longer then expected and than they ghosted me. It was several years now. I still ocationaly remind them, but there is completely 0 reaction now.

UPDATE: (reaction to response): Thank you. The first time the case was transferred to the team was in November 2023. Since then there was barely any progress. Let´s see this time. Thank you

UPDATE 7.8. Almost 3 weeks and no progres :(
UPDATE 6.9. (2 month after the post) another month and despite Tutoroo´s promises here, nothing happened
UPDATE. 19.10. no progress. "The team is still handling the issue" but no longer communicating
UPDATE 4.1.2026: Years come by, tutoroo reaction remains stable -> zero.

Anna Ukrainian Tutor

I selected Anna based on her experience and current professional role. She proved to be a great tutor and demonstrated a lot of patience when I struggled with aspects. If I had one criticism it would be that at times I felt the pace of the subjects was a little quick. That may however be down to how Anna felt I was progressing. Unfortunately I had to stop my lessons due to my schedule demands, but would not hesitate to use Anna as my tutor again once I restart lessons.

Non-transparent

Non-transparent, fraudulent organization. Takes cash for no service. Tutors are not paid.

Natalia was the best teacher I could have asked for. She was patient, funny, and organized. She knew exactly how to make the most of our time, and I will miss her greatly.

Thank you Tutoroo for doing a great job🌹

Tutoroo helps both students and tutors. I am a teacher and tutor and Tutoroo has given me the opportunity to set my own schedule, advance my teaching skills, gain experience and most of all help others. My students are really enjoying their lessons. Tutoring helps students address specific weaknesses, helps them gain confidence, they receive individualized support and the sessions are flexible and lessons are conducted when it's most convenient for both the student and the tutor. This keeps us relaxed and the lessons are more productive. Thank you Tutoroo for this amazing opportunity and for doing a great job.🌹

Stay away from Tutoroo

I wanted to use Tutoroo to find a private Spanish teacher and therefore paid 540 DKK/83 USD to Tutoroo. I was then put in touch with a mentor and agreed on a date for my first lesson, after which communication stalled. I tried several times to make an agreement about which time of day we should meet, but I got no response.
Later I was contacted by a new mentor and same thing happened. We agreed on a date, but I got no answer when I asked for exact time.
I have tried to communicate with Tutoroo to get my money back, but they tell me to try a new mentor.
My experience is that the platform is cumbersome and opaque, and that you easily risk losing your money.

That said, we take your concern seriously and have now forwarded your case to our Copenhagen team, who will assist you directly in matching you with a responsive and available Spanish tutor.

The platform has promise

The platform has promise. I really wish something could be done about the tutors keeping their profiles current. I only found a tutor after the 6th attempt (search). What should have taken a day to complete took over a week and a half. And prices are not as advertised.

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for your honest review. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience during your tutor search. We understand how frustrating it must have been to go through several profiles before finding someone available. While we actively encourage tutors to keep their availability updated, we recognize this is still an area for improvement. Your input is valuable as we continue working to enhance the reliability of our listings.

Regarding pricing, the rates shown on our website are starting rates intended to give a general indication of tutor fees. For the first two weeks of lessons, we apply standard pricing, and payment is required to be processed through TUTOROO. Please note that the final rate may vary depending on the frequency and duration of lessons, as well as the number of students per class.

We also reached out on 16 June 2025 requesting more information so we could assist you further, but we haven’t received a response. If you’re still open to it, we’d be happy to help. Please share your email, location, and the language you're interested in learning so we can support you directly.

We appreciate your patience and hope your lessons are going well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist you further.

Kind regards,

1. A new chapter begins with TUTOROO 2. From registration to readiness – all set to teach! 3. Let the language journey begin!

I signed up as a Pashto language tutor on TUTOROO. The registration process was simple and user-friendly. The support team contacted me and provided helpful guidance. My profile has just been approved, and I’m now looking forward to receiving student inquiries from different countries.

So far, my experience with TUTOROO has been positive, and I would recommend this platform to language tutors who are looking for online teaching opportunities.

Stay away

Stay definitely away! I was looking for an English language tutor form my 12 years old daughter for 2 private lessons per week. From the platform i found a tutor around 50 years old lady who had studied English literature, she was native English speaker, had a huge experience in teaching and she was charging 15 euros per hour if we'd pick the 3 hours per week schedule. In order to communicate with her tutoroo charged me in advance 92 euros so 2 weeks of lesson. Long story short the tutor never replied to me and i saw that other tutors were kept sending me messages. Those tutors were not meeting my criteria. Either they were charging more than i could pay one of them had studied civil engineer (?) and the other one was too young without any experience, so nothing of what i was looking for. I asked for a refund and Tutoroo replied no refund is possible since there are other tutors that can teach my daughter... (!!!) I explained twice that the ladies who where texting me and that they were suggesting to me did not meet my criteria they were not even native English speakers but whatever I was saying I was receiving always the same answer "there are other tutors available therefore no refund is foreseen according to the policy". Of course there always be other tutors available since you are a tutors platform, but i got into this platform to find the one that suits me and me needs... Stay away if you do not want to lose your money as i did....

Hi Maria,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment.

We understand your frustration and sincerely regret that the tutor you initially reached out to did not respond. While our platform connects users with available private tutors, tutor availability and responsiveness can vary, and we do our best to encourage prompt replies. In cases where the originally selected tutor is unresponsive, our support team works to provide alternative matches to ensure you’re not left without options.

We acknowledge that tutor preferences, such as qualifications, experience, and budget, are very personal, and we always aim to match students with suitable tutors. Please note that, as per our policy, the payment is non-refundable as long as we still have English tutors available on our platform. However, rest assured that your payment remains as credit and can be used to connect with another tutor.

Our team in Luxembourg will be happy to assist you in finding a tutor who better matches your specific preferences, including budget, qualifications, and teaching experience. We are committed to helping you find a suitable tutor for your daughter and ensuring a positive learning experience.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like further assistance.
