How UK Tutors Can Earn Through 1:1 Lessons, Group Sessions and Masterclasses

For educators and specialist tutors in the UK, traditional 1:1 tutoring often hits an income ceiling: you are trading one hour of time for a single student's hourly fee.

TutorKamun's multi-tiered session model allows UK tutors to break through that ceiling by combining 1:1 tuition, small group workshops, and large-format masterclasses—all supported by zero post-lesson admin and automated lead matching.

Here is a factual breakdown of how UK tutors structure their practice and earnings on TutorKamun.

1. The 3 Core Earning Pathways

1:1 Personalized Tutoring

Build deep ongoing relationships with students preparing for 11+, GCSE, or A-Level exams. You set your own hourly rate in platform credits (for example, 400 credits/hr, equal to £40/hr).

Group Workshops (Up to 5–10 Students)

Teach small groups of students working on common topics like GCSE Chemistry revision or A-Level essay writing. By charging a lower price per student (e.g., 150 credits/student), tutoring becomes more accessible for parents while increasing your total hourly revenue.

High-Yield Masterclasses (20+ Students)

Deliver structured 60-to-90 minute masterclasses focusing on key exam techniques or grade-boosting topics before exam seasons. Teaching 20 students at 200 credits (£20) per head generates £400 in a single teaching session.

2. Transparent Pricing & 100% Tutor Rate Payout

TutorKamun operates on a clear, transparent pricing structure for both tutors and parents:

  • 100% Tutor Rate Payout: You set your hourly tutor rate in credits per hour and receive 100% of that rate for each completed session.
  • 20% Parent Service Fee: TutorKamun adds a 20% service fee to the parent's total booking price (parent total = tutor rate × 1.20). The service fee is never deducted from your set rate.
  • No Membership Subscriptions: There are no sign-up fees or monthly subscriptions required to list your tutor profile.

3. Escrow Security & Zero Admin

  • Stripe Connect Escrow: Student credit funds are secured in escrow before lessons begin, guaranteeing prompt bank payouts upon completion.
  • AI Session Intelligence: Live audio transcriptions automatically generate lesson summaries, homework tasks, and parent reports—saving you 15 to 30 minutes of admin per lesson.

4. UK Eligibility Requirements

Onboarding is exclusive to UK-based tutors. Candidates must possess an Enhanced DBS check. You are welcome to submit your application while your DBS check is in progress; however, tutor profiles are activated and listed in the directory once verified in writing.
