Why going independent stalls
Platform terms decide your income
Rates you can charge, cancellation rules, how you show up in search: all decided for you, and they can change overnight. Your independent practice should run on terms you set.
Fees that grow as you grow
Marketplaces typically take 15-33% of each lesson. The better your month, the more the cut costs: a percentage fee scales with your success, and it never lets you outgrow it.
Student records live in someone else's system
Contact details, lesson history, notes: they live in the platform's system, under the platform's terms. If you ever leave, you start again from zero.
The tech stack feels like a second job
A classroom, a booking page, materials, invoices, a way to look professional: most tutors who want to go independent stall on the setup, not the teaching.
The classroom and the business, in one place
Tuton is not a marketplace and does not find students. You bring students you find independently. Tuton is where you teach and run the practice: purpose-built classroom first, then profile, booking, CRM, lesson library, and invoices, in one subscription.

Run the numbers on your own rate
Run the numbers for your rate. Example: $20/hour for 30 lessons is $600; at a 25% marketplace fee, $150 of that lesson revenue goes to the platform every month. On Tuton you pay a flat subscription from $9/month and students pay you directly. The more you teach, the more the flat plan matters versus percentage fees.
