No. W Tutors is more than a mere classified for tutors to list their services. It is a learning platform with a host of features such as customer support for tutors and learners, online video chat for lessons, payment processing, scheduler, flashcard, messaging system and many others. We expect mutual respect and understanding that operating the site and advertising for learners incur substantial costs. If a tutor is unappreciative of the effort from the W Tutors team for getting learners for you and would rather keep all the lesson fees than to pay a nominal 15% for our services, we would be left with no other alternative but to terminate your relationship with us.
