How does tutoring with Poddy work?
Poddy connects you with small groups of students we call them pods who are matched by subject, level, and availability. You lead live, interactive sessions where students learn together and you guide the group through questions, discussions, and key topics.
What makes Poddy different from other tutoring platforms?
Poddy is all about small-group learning, not just 1-to-1. We handle the matching, scheduling, and payments for you, so you can focus on teaching. Plus, you work with students who benefit from the motivation and support of learning together which often makes sessions more engaging for tutors too!
How much can I earn?
One of the best things about tutoring with Poddy is that you can actually earn more than you would teaching traditional 1-to-1 lessons. Because each pod has three students, you’re paid for multiple learners at once, so your hourly rate is higher, but you only teach one group, not three separate lessons. Plus, there’s no need to spend extra time finding students, sorting payments, or chasing up bookings, Poddy does all that for you. More teaching, less admin, and more income for your time.

How do payments work?
Payments are handled securely through trusted providers. Students pay in advance, and you receive payment automatically after each completed session. No need to chase invoices or handle payments yourself.
Can I set my own schedule?
Yes! You choose the times you’re available to teach. Poddy’s matching system only offers you pods that fit your stated availability, so you stay in control of when you work.
How much does each pod pay and can I set my own rates?
Each pod pays a fixed rate per student per session, so you always know what you’ll earn ahead of time. Because you’re working with three students at once, your overall hourly rate is higher than a typical 1-to-1 lesson. Poddy sets fair, competitive rates so you don’t have to haggle or negotiate, you just focus on teaching. Rates aren’t always exactly the same for every pod; they can vary slightly based on the subject, level, and demand, but you’ll always see the rate upfront before you accept a session.
