Finding a quality tutor Ratings Weeding out spam Knowing exactly who they are (many french tutors were just french students! I wanted a native or near native speaker).
I wonder though for this business model, what stops people from going around Tutorspree for subsequent lessons to get around the $5 per lesson fee?
One thing that pops into mind is the ratings system. It would be beneficial to continue to do the tutoring through the site in order to build a good profile.
There's also the credit card payment through tutorspree which is nice. (I'm assuming most individual tutors can't process their own credit card payments).
However, there's still a risk that after the first session people will bypass the system.
I really like this though, and can't wait to see this take off. Just sent it out to my tutor.
