Most tutoring platforms put the full cost on one side — students pay a premium, or tutors get a huge cut taken from their earnings. Flyer splits a small fee between both sides so the math works for everyone.
This platform was built to solve two problems at once: students having to pay a premium just to access quality instructors, and tutors getting huge percentages cut from their pay by platforms that only connect them to students. Instead of putting the full burden on either side, Flyer splits a small fee to keep things affordable and appropriately valued.
We want you to get real value out of every dollar spent on Flyer. In exchange for the fee, students get access to an all-in-one home page complete with previous session recordings, workspaces, documents, tutor chats, and scheduling. Tutors won't have to worry about hosting lessons, sending gigantic recording files after a long session, or promoting themselves to find students.
Most platforms take a percentage — the more your lesson costs, the more they take. Flyer's flat fee means you keep more as rates go up.
Sources (as of Sept. 2026): Wyzant charges tutors 25% of the lesson price. Preply takes 33% from newer tutors. Varsity Tutors sets prices and pays tutors roughly 40–45% of what students pay.
The platform fee keeps the tools running that make every session work — here's what's included.
Built-in video calling so you meet right in Flyer — no juggling separate links or outside apps.
Every session is recorded in the cloud so either side can revisit the material anytime.
Notes, documents, and shared files stay attached to your pairing — nothing gets lost between sessions.
The search that found your tutor, plus a shared home base for progress, messages, and history.
Simple: you're charged $4 per lesson, only when a lesson happens. No bundles, no subscriptions, no commitments.
Find a tutor, agree on a rate for their time, and book a session. The $4 platform fee is charged to both sides when the lesson is confirmed.
Meet in Flyer's built-in video room. Your session is recorded, files are stored, and everything stays in your shared dashboard.
No recurring charges, no auto-renewals. You're only charged the $4 fee again when you book your next lesson — on your schedule.
Not every match is the right match — and you shouldn't have to pay twice to find that out.
Since you only pay $4 per lesson with no upfront commitment, trying Flyer is already low-stakes. The second try guarantee makes it even easier — you get two shots at finding the right match for the price of one platform fee.
Found your match? From there it's $4 per lesson as usual.
Yes — the $4 platform fee and the tutor's rate are completely separate. The platform fee covers Flyer's infrastructure (video, recording, storage, matching). What you pay your tutor for their time is agreed between the two of you and goes directly to them.
Both sides benefit from the platform — tutors get the same video tools, storage, dashboard, and discoverability through matching. Splitting the fee keeps costs lower for everyone compared to loading the full cost onto one side.
That's what the second try guarantee is for. If your first match doesn't work out, the $4 platform fee is waived on your next lesson with a different tutor — you only pay the tutor's rate. From there, the standard $4 fee applies as usual.
Not a separate one — but at $4 per lesson with no subscription or upfront commitment, you can try Flyer with minimal risk. And if your first match isn't the right fit, your second try is free through our second try guarantee.
No. Flyer is not a subscription. You're charged $4 only when you book a lesson — nothing renews automatically. If you stop booking, you stop paying. Pick back up whenever you're ready.
Pick a side and sign up. You'll only be charged $4 when you book your first lesson.
