Tutorly – Online Tutoring Marketplace Solution

Tutorly enables you to build a scalable online tutoring platform where educators can offer lessons and students can book sessions online. The platform supports multiple subjects, tutor profiles, and secure online payments.

Key features

What Tutorly does, and why each part matters once you are running.

Tutor & student dashboards

Tutors manage their subjects, rates and availability; students see their bookings and history. Neither should have to message you to find out what is happening.

Class scheduling & bookings

Sessions booked against real availability across different time zones and school timetables, without the back-and-forth that kills half these bookings.

Online payments & commissions

Payment taken when the session is booked and your commission deducted automatically, which is the only reliable way to get paid in this category.

Subject & course management

Tutors listed by subject, level and curriculum, so a parent looking for Grade 11 maths finds someone who actually teaches it.

Reviews & ratings

Parents are buying trust with their child's marks. Visible track records do more for conversion here than any amount of marketing copy.

SEO-friendly tutor profiles

Each tutor gets an indexable profile, so searches for a subject and a suburb reach a real person on your platform.

How it works

A marketplace has more than one customer. Each side needs its own tools.

Tutors

List subjects, levels and rates, set availability and teach. Good tutors have options, so getting paid promptly is what keeps them on your platform.

Students and parents

Search by subject and level, check reviews, book a session and pay. The parent is usually paying and the student attending, and both need to be satisfied.

You

Vet tutors, take a commission on each session and keep quality visible. Your reputation is the sum of your worst tutor, not your best.

Who it's for

Curriculum-specific tutoring
CAPS, IEB or Cambridge, where matching the syllabus is the whole decision.
Exam and matric preparation
Concentrated, urgent demand with parents willing to pay for a result.
University and professional subjects
Higher rates and better margins than school-level work.
Existing tutoring centres
Established tutors who need bookings and payments handled rather than students found.

And who it isn't

If you cannot recruit tutors who are genuinely good at the subject, the platform will surface that quickly. Quality of tutor is the product here; the software only makes it visible.

Built for South Africa

What Tutorly handles that an offshore script has to be talked into.

Local payment gateways
PayFast, Peach Payments and Ozow — cards, instant EFT and the methods South African buyers already trust at checkout.
Priced and invoiced in rands
One-off price, paid in ZAR, invoiced locally. No currency conversion and no exchange-rate movement between quote and payment.
Your data stays on your infrastructure
Self-hosted, so you can answer where customer data lives, who reaches it and how long you keep it — the questions POPIA actually asks.
Support in your working hours
Based in Pretoria. When something breaks at 09:00 SAST, you are not waiting for an overseas support desk to wake up.
Courier options that exist here
Built with The Courier Guy, RAM and Pargo pickup points in mind rather than carriers that do not operate in South Africa.

What's not included

Worth knowing before you buy, not after.

  • Hosting and your domain. Installation on your server is free; the hosting account is yours.
  • Your payment gateway account, and the per-transaction fee it charges you.
  • Product photography, vendor onboarding and the words on your pages.
  • Marketing and customer acquisition — included only on the Custom plan.
  • Source code on Lite, Pro and Pro + Apps. Custom includes it; mobile app source is R39,000 as an add-on.
  • Support beyond your included period, which continues at R6,900 a year.
  • Apple and Google developer accounts for the mobile apps — roughly R1,800 a year and a once-off R450, paid to them directly.

None of this is unusual for self-hosted software. We list it because the alternative is finding out on a call.
