Why tutors choose us

Built around your clinical schedule

Your earnings

Set your own rate

You decide what your time is worth. Adjust anytime. No ceiling — the market sets it. Most tutors charge $40–$60/hr.

You control your calendar

Block off clerkships, exams, rotations. Students only see slots you explicitly open.

Automatic payments

Payment collected at booking, released to you within 24 hours of the session. No invoicing.

Zero admin work

Booking, reminders, receipts — all handled. You just show up and teach.

No minimum commitment

One session a week or twenty. Pause anytime. No quota, no penalty.

Cancellation protection

Students can cancel free up to 24h before. Late cancellations still compensate you — your time is never wasted.

From our tutors

I do 4 sessions a week and it covers my rent. The calendar blocking during boards was a lifesaver.

Sarah J.

M4 · Rosalind Franklin

I was skeptical but the first payout hit my account the next day. Zero admin. I just teach and it shows up.

David C.

M3 · Creighton

Honestly the best side income during med school. I set my own hours and never worry about chasing payments.
