What changes the fee

How to stay inside a budget
- Use the maximum-fee filter on the Find a Teacher page to hide tutors above your budget.
- Filter by your area so you are not paying for long travel time.
- Compare up to several tutors side by side before choosing.
- Use the free demo class to judge value. A lower fee is not better if your child does not understand the lesson.
