Start with what you know
A subject, a level, a state — one detail is enough to begin.
02 The subject index
Name the knot. Find the tutor.
Choose the closest subject. You can widen, narrow, and compare from there.
03 Notes from the messy middle
Bring the bit that won’t stay put.
You do not need a polished brief. A deadline, a page number, or a rough “I’m stuck here” will do.

04 A short route in
From stuck to a first session, without the runaround.
Look around before you sign up. Read the profile, see the rate, and reach out when someone feels right.
Walk through the detailsPick someone
Start with subject, grade level, or state, then follow your curiosity. Browsing is free and needs no account. Every profile shows the tutor's chosen hourly rate and the date they last confirmed their details.
Say hello
When a profile feels promising, send a free session request with a little context and a few times that work. The tutor replies by email, usually within 1-2 business days.
Meet online
Most tutors offer online sessions, so place does not have to decide the fit. If you want to meet in person, look for that option on the profile.
05 People, not mystery listings
A real tutor behind every profile.
Every tutor applies and completes the checks shown here before a listing is published. The profile also tells you when its details were last confirmed.

Persona ID verification
Before publication, every tutor verifies their identity through Persona. The identity behind the profile is checked before you ever see it.
Background checks
Every tutor also passes a background check before their listing is published.
Listings stay confirmed
Tutors re-confirm their rate, availability, and whether they are taking new students. Every profile shows the latest confirmation date.

08 Before the first page
A few sensible questions.
Still wondering about something? The answers here cover rates, checks, sessions, and listing.
How do I know what a session costs?
Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, and you see it on the profile before requesting a session. Rate ranges are based on typical living wages where each tutor lives. The range leaves room for every budget. There is no package, membership, or booking fee to add — the shown session rate is the whole bill.
Can I look around without signing up?
Yes. It is free to search, compare tutors, and request a session, and no account is required. You pay only the session rate chosen by the tutor.
What has each tutor been checked for?
Every tutor applies, has the application reviewed, and verifies their identity through Persona before the listing is published. Every tutor also passes a background check first. The profile shows when its rate, availability, and other details were last confirmed.
Are sessions online or in person?
Most tutors offer online sessions. When in-person sessions are available, that option is marked on the profile.
How does a tutor join the directory?
The “Tutor application” form takes about five minutes to complete. Listing is free. When you get paid, Wise Atoms Tutoring keeps 20% of each session as a platform fee — you keep 80% of the rate you set.
What does it cost to be listed?
There is no signup cost or monthly fee. Instead, Wise Atoms Tutoring keeps a 20% platform fee from each paid session, and you keep 80% of the hourly rate you set. For example, at $10/hour you would receive $8.00 per hour.
