Tutors Reduce Cost Per Hour by 84%

Tearn lets tutors add homework to enhance learning services. Tearn bridges teach and learn with automated learning activities.

Using Tearn, a tutor quickly adds five hours of self-paced, customized learning activities for each hour of face-to-face tutoring. The tutor adds learning services and reduces their hourly fee to 1/6th.

For example, a tutor charges $60 per hour or approximately $240 per month for one-on-one tutoring. After adding 5 hours of homework a week, the tutor now provides 6 hours of service - lowering the rate to $10 per hour.

	Hours	Cost	Rate/Hour
Traditional	1 hour	$60	$60
With Tearn	6 hours	$60	$10

If the tutor rate is $30 per hour, 5 hours of Tearn activities reduce the rate to $5 per hour. This is competitive with public schools.

• Learners gain more learning services
• Tutors are more cost competitive
