Role Description


KITE is seeking knowledgeable and motivated college tutors to join our growing online tutoring marketplace.


This is a flexible, independent tutoring opportunity where tutors can offer academic support to college students and individuals preparing for graduate or professional education.

* Academic support: Study strategies, exam preparation, and subject-specific guidance.

* Standard Tutor Commission: 15% per completed paid session.

* Founding Tutor Offer: 10% commission for the first 50 approved tutors during their first six months following approval.

* No Subscription Fees: Creating and maintaining a tutor account is free.

* No Payment Processing Costs: KITE covers processing fees from its commission.

* Recurring Earnings Opportunities: Build relationships with students and offer repeat tutoring sessions.

* Tutor Dashboard: Manage bookings, schedules, messages, and earnings from one platform.


For example, if you charge $75 for a tutoring session:


* Standard Tutor: Earn $63.75.

* Founding Tutor: Earn $67.50 during the promotional period.


Tutor payouts become eligible after sessions are successfully completed.
