Much needed language platform which gives opportunities to people to learn another language in their own time and comfort.
Very professional approach and excellent communication with the staff.

Refund pending for 7 months despite urgent follow up one month ago

My refund request has been pending for 7 MONTHS (-5days) now with Tutoroo constantly telling me that they are actively following up on it, coordinating with their team etc but weirdly can’t give any information on the actual status of the refund process. I suspect this is all bs.
A month ago they promised on here that they are really sorry and will follow up on it (oh? Again?) URGENTLY . Guess what? Nothing changed. I keep getting vague answers from the Team.
I want a reply here with the exact timelines for the refund because after 7 months including 1 month of urgent follow up and with weekly emails from me, you certainly had time to process it right? I would like it processed by the end of this week. Please confirm here once it has been processed and I will update my review.
Also- is there a warranty this will not happen anymore in the future if I stay on the platform? Please reply.
Please don’t reply back with empty words and promises as always and please don’t refer to reaching out to you outside of Truspilot because on your platform you keep repeating the same thing and sending emails didn’t help em either. You know who I am so no need to ask for additional info to help locate me .
ALSO PLEASE ANSWR - since you had 6 months + 1 month of supposedly urgent follow up here to process this and still haven’t resolved this… if you are genuinely aiming at a good customer relationship and care about the people using your platform - why did you try to flag this review as “incorrect business” first then “defamatory”?
The week time has passed by the way. You had one additional week to have it resolve it but it seems like you don’t want to face your responsibilities

UPDATE: Tutoroo has resolved the issue (after 8-9 months).

Payment

On August 3, 2025, I made a payment to Tutoroo for two trial lessons. However, no one contacted me afterwards, and no lessons ever took place. Despite several attempts to reach out, my messages were ignored, and the payment has still not been refunded to this day.

Hi Ilona,

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that tutors Lourenço and Cecília have both responded to your inquiry and confirmed their availability for Portuguese lessons.

As per our terms, we are unable to offer a refund as long as tutors remain available for your selected language. Please note that your payment remains as a valid credit if unused, does not expire, and can also be used with another tutor or even for another language on the platform.

We encourage you to continue the discussion with Lourenço and Cecília to arrange your lessons. Alternatively, if you have any specific tutor preferences or requirements, please let us know and our team will be happy to help find a better match for you.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Stick to the guidelines (again)


Stick to the guidelines: the still continuing story …

It would be helpful to users if Trustpilot kept to its own guidelines:

[1] Two ‘reviews’ from the same country are published within a matter of days.

“Because this is an online job that will satisfy my needs and i (sic) have that passion of teaching swahili (sic) language”

“I'm experienced in the field and more equiped (sic) can deliver (sic) more than expected”

Update! It is now three reviews from the same country; the latest five-star states that the company helps you to grow physically; does Tutoroo also prevent hair loss?

[2] Neither review states anything about the company’s reliability or the service and support the company itself provides.

[3] Both reviewers are advertising themselves.

[4] Both reviewers are, therefore, awarding ‘five stars’ to themselves; I doubt whether Tutoroo will object to that because the stars would appear to reflect the quality of the company.

[5] One review has already been flagged, but no action has been taken, and so there is little point in flagging the other; you can be guaranteed that Tutoroo won’t flag them.

Those who use Trustpilot are not interested in how well ‘equiped (sic)’ an individual is, or what ‘passion’ they have; users want to know whether this company should be entrusted with money. Baseless and / or irrelevant ‘five-star’ reviews are grossly misleading and should be removed so that users have an accurate picture of the quality of this company.

[6] And – to be fair – what is the purpose of:

“i (sic) haven't used this app yet i (sic) wanna (sic) register myself as an urdu (sic) teacher”

What has that to do with the company? How can a user give a one-star review concerning an application that has yet to be used?

[7] It is ridiculous “reviews” such as this which – if not professionally addressed by Trustpilot – will open a floodgate of advertising or redundant comments.

Trustpilot states that it does not ‘fact check’ reviews. I suspect it is more than that; they do not seem to check at all, which is utterly unhelpful:

“To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, …”

It obviously doesn’t work.

PS: (update) "You’ve written a review for TUTOROO, and they’ve asked for more details to better understand your experience."
The good old "genuine experience" trick - pathetic but predictable. Tutoroo wants to know more about my "experience": obviously reading what is published on this site is beyond them. They should try reading other sites where they do not have the opportunity to abuse the flagging tools that Trustpilot provides. And maybe if they reviewed their practices, rather than continually trying to hide negative and remarkably consistent comments, their score might not be so low. Do what you like. You do not care - and neither do I.

Hi Liam,

You have submitted multiple reviews since September 2025 about TUTOROO, and please note that only one counts under Trustpilot guidelines. We have tried to help resolve and address your concerns, but we did not receive a response to the information requests we sent for each review you submitted.

In light of this, we will be able to proceed once you provide at least one piece of information to help us verify your identity and locate your records in our system so we can all move forward.

Thank you for your understanding.

Do not trust their "Teacher Protection Policy" – It's a scam

I am extremely disappointed with TUTOROO. I am a tutor (Divana) and I’ve had a student discontinue lessons after two sessions. According to their own "Teacher Protection Policy," tutors are guaranteed 50% of the fees for the first two weeks if a student quits.

However, getting this compensation is impossible. I have reached out multiple times through their platform and email, but I was ignored. I even tried contacting them on Facebook; they promised a response within 48 hours, but it has been much longer and still—silence.

TUTOROO collects the full payment from the student upfront but refuses to honor their obligation to the teachers. Seeing other reviews here, I realize I am not the only one facing this issue. They exploit tutors' time and effort without any accountability.

Avoid this platform if you value your time and work. They promise protection but deliver zero support.

Hi Divana,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it has been to wait for your payout. We sincerely apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.

We have received your messages and have been coordinating with both our Paris team and Finance team regarding your payout request. Our team is actively following up on your case, and we will update you through our Tutor Support channel as soon as we receive further information.

As outlined in our Tutor FAQs and agreed to during registration, TUTOROO collects and retains the first two weeks of lesson payments for each newly confirmed student. From the third week onwards, tutors receive 100% of their lesson fees paid directly by the student. If a student decides to discontinue lessons during the initial period, TUTOROO will review the case and, where applicable, pay the tutor 50% of the amount paid for the lessons completed with that tutor, in accordance with our terms.

You can find more information in our Tutor FAQs: https://www.tutoroo.co/help/tutor-faq

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this matter.

Best regards,

They charged too much for my lessons from my credit card. Have been in endless conversations with their customer service for the last 4 months, always promising that they are processing my refund..now they decided not to pay me back and keep offering new tutors. I just want my money back and never again deal with this company!!

Hi Andreas,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.

As outlined in the terms agreed to at the time of booking, lesson payments are non-refundable while tutors for the selected language remain available. To help you continue your learning, we introduced you to alternative tutors after your original arrangement did not work out.

Your lesson credit remains available and can be used with any of the tutors we have introduced, including our online tutors if you would like to start lessons sooner. Your credit is non-refundable, has no expiry, and will not be forfeited, so you are welcome to use it at any time in the future.

If you'd like to discuss the available options or proceed with another tutor, please contact us at contact@tutoroo.co, and our team will be happy to assist you.

Best regards,

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English…

I recently joined TUTOROO as an English tutor and the onboarding process was simple and smooth. My profile was approved quickly, which is a great advantage for new tutors looking to start.
What I like about the platform is the flexibility—it allows you to set your own rates and schedule, and once you are connected with a student long-term, you can earn directly without commission after the first couple of weeks.
However, it’s important for new tutors to understand that students are not guaranteed. You need to actively promote your profile to get noticed. Also, the payment structure during the first two weeks can be a bit discouraging, as tutors do not receive full payment upfront and only earn partially if the student doesn’t continue.
Overall, TUTOROO is a good platform to gain experience and find private students, but it works best as a side hustle rather than a stable source of income.

SCAM WEBSITE!

SCAM WEBSITE!! Do not use this platform if you don’t want to risk losing your money.
I contacted several tutors, and they told me the platform had not paid them, which is why they refused to proceed with lessons. I requested a refund, but was informed that this was not possible.
Additionally, there was no clear step requiring users to review and agree to the payment terms before completing the transaction, which is highly concerning.
I HOPE NO ONE USES YOUR SERVICE ANYMORE!!

scam

Unreliable platform. Many tutors shown as “available” are actually inactive or unresponsive. It’s misleading and wastes time reaching out to people who never reply. Don’t trust the availability status here.

Hi FT,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been.

Tutor availability is based on their most recent activity, however, there are instances where some tutors may become unresponsive or inactive without immediate updates to their profiles. Please be assured that we continuously monitor and refine this to improve the accuracy shown on the platform.

We previously requested your full name and registered email address so we could locate your account and review your case thoroughly, but we have not yet received this information. Without these details, we’re unfortunately unable to proceed with the investigation or provide further assistance.

At your convenience, please share your full name and registered email address, and we will prioritize your case. Alternatively, you may reach us directly at contact@tutoroo.co, and our team will be glad to assist you as soon as possible.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for all users.
