Tutors choose their hourly rate and retain 75% after the platform's flat 25% fee. Applicants must be at least 18, reside in the US and have a valid Social Security Number, while a teaching certificate is not required. Tutors report completed lessons through Wyzant, which collects the student's payment and sends earnings by direct deposit on its semimonthly schedule.
