How it works

A two-sided marketplace that respects both sides

Parents find tutors. Tutors find students. Nobody posts a phone number in public, and nobody gets to unlock a hundred contacts for free. Here is the entire flow, with no steps hidden.

For parents & students

Five steps from searching to a first session

  1. 1

    Create a parent or student account

    Register with your name, contact details and city. You get a small starter credit balance so you can test the flow before paying anything.

  2. 2

    Post a tuition requirement

    One form captures class, board, subjects, locality, tuition mode, preferred timing, sessions per week and budget. This is what tutors actually search against.

  3. 3

    Search tutors with real filters

    Filter by city, locality, class, board, subject, tuition mode, experience and fee range. Your requirement drives a match score shown on every card.

  4. 4

    Save leads for free, unlock the ones that matter

    Saving a tutor costs nothing. Unlocking a contact costs one credit and reveals phone, email and address.

  5. 5

    Call, meet, agree terms

    Contact details are yours to discuss once unlocked. Fees, schedule and expectations are agreed directly between you and the tutor.

For tutors

One profile, a live board of student requirements

Tutors do not wait for a WhatsApp group to fill up. Every open requirement in your city and subject is searchable, filterable and unlockable.

Register as a tutor
  1. 1

    Register with your teaching details

    Qualification, institution, experience, classes, boards, subjects, locality, tuition mode, availability and expected fees. A complete profile gets more unlocks.

  2. 2

    Get verified

    An admin reviews your submitted details. Until a profile is verified it stays out of parent search, which protects everyone from bad leads.

  3. 3

    Search the requirement board

    Filter open requirements by city, locality, class, board, subject, tuition mode, timing and budget. Matching scores are computed against your own profile.

  4. 4

    Unlock the leads worth pursuing

    One credit reveals the parent's contact details. Unlocking your own or a repeat contact is blocked, so credits are never wasted.

  5. 5

    Follow up, report problems

    If a lead goes cold or a listing looks wrong, report it from the contact page. Reports go straight to the admin console.

Matching

Six signals, each with a visible weight

The match score on every card and lead is the sum of these weighted signals. Nothing is hidden behind an opaque ranking model.

Class

26 pts

Exact class match counts fully. A neighbouring class counts as a near miss rather than a failure.

Subject

24 pts

Any overlap between the tutor's subjects and the requirement's subjects scores.

Locality

18 pts

Same neighbourhood scores highest. Same city without a locality match scores nothing on this signal.

Board

12 pts

Tutor teaches the requested board (CBSE, ICSE, State Board, IB, Cambridge).

Tuition mode

12 pts

Home, online or flexible either way. A tutor who offers both never misses this signal.

Budget

8 pts

Overlap between the tutor's expected fee and the stated budget, with tolerance for a small overshoot.

Score bands

Bands are descriptive, not pass/fail. A 62% match can still be the right person.

70–100

Strong

45–69

Worth a look

0–44

Weak overlap

Credits

How the credit system actually works

The default model is deliberately simple: 10 unlocks per starter pack, one credit per contact, and another pack when you reach zero.

The rule

  • A pack of 10 credits gives you 10 contact unlocks.
  • Unlocking one contact deducts exactly one credit: 10 → 9 → 8 … → 0.
  • At zero credits you can still browse and save, but not unlock.
  • Buying another pack adds credits on top of whatever balance remains.
  • Admins control the pack sizes. 10, 25 and 50 ship by default; others can be created in the admin console.
  • Both parents and tutors use credits the same way.

  2. 2Unlock a tutor contact9 credits

At zero, unlocking is blocked with a clear prompt to buy another pack.

For admins

What the admin console controls

  1. 1

    Review and verify

    Approve or reject tutor submissions, and mark profiles verified so they appear in search.

  2. 2

    Control visibility

    Hide any profile or requirement from search without deleting it. Useful when a listing is inaccurate or under review.

  3. 3

    Manage credits and packs

    Set the credit cost of an unlock, create or archive packs, and grant or deduct credits manually with a recorded reason.

  4. 4

    Moderate

    Work through complaints, suspend or block accounts, and review payments. Every action lands in the audit log.

Questions

Common questions about TutorKhoji

Can I see a tutor's phone number before paying?
No. That is the point of the platform. Listings show city, locality, classes, boards, subjects, tuition mode, availability, experience and fee range. Phone, email and address appear only after a paid unlock.
What happens if a tutor or parent misbehaves after I unlock?
Report the listing from the contact page. The report reaches the admin console, where an operator can investigate, resolve the complaint and suspend or block the account.
Do my credits expire?
Credits do not expire while they are on your balance. That is why buying a pack is a one-time payment rather than a subscription.
Can I unlock my own listing?
No. Attempting to unlock your own profile or your own requirement is blocked and costs nothing.
What does a 65% match score mean?
It means most of the weighted signals hit and a couple did not. The card shows which ones, so you can decide whether the gaps matter for your situation.
Is TutorKhoji safe for my data?
Contact details are never indexed publicly and are only released to a user who spends a credit. Verification and moderation reduce the chance of a bad match. The privacy policy documents exactly what is stored.
Why does a tutor profile not appear in search?
Tutor profiles must be verified by an admin before appearing in parent search. Check your dashboard for the verification status.
