HOW TUTORCHUM WORKS
Four steps to your chum.
Step one

Tell us what you want to learn.
Subject, level, schedule, budget. We use it to narrow the list of chums to the ones who actually fit.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
Quick comparison.
We're not trying to be Preply, Tuteria, or a course library. Each has its own thing. Here's the honest difference.
| Feature | TutorChum | Tuteria | Preply | Udemy / Coursera |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free 15-min meet-and-greet | Yes — always | No | Trial lesson at full rate | N/A |
| Pay per lesson, no subscriptions | Yes | Sometimes | Package-based | Subscription |
| Switch chums free, anytime | Yes | Sometimes, with fee | Yes | N/A |
| Pay in ₦ | Yes | Yes | USD only | USD only |
| Subjects covered | Every subject | Mostly academic + languages | Mostly languages | Pre-recorded only |
| Progress notes for parents after every lesson | Yes | No | No | N/A |
| 1-on-1 with a real person | Yes — every lesson | Yes | Yes | No |
How does the free meet-and-greet work?
Pick a chum, book the 15-minute slot, hop on a video call. No card, no commitment. Use the time to share your goals, ask about their style, decide if you'd like to learn with them.
What if the meet-and-greet doesn't tell me everything?
It rarely does — that's the point of a 15-minute hello. If you book a lesson and it's not working, you switch chums and try another meet-and-greet, on us. Pay-per-lesson means you never owe anything you didn't choose.
What if I don't connect with the first chum?
Switch chums, free. Try another meet-and-greet (also free), at no charge. The right chum is in there.
Can I book lessons in advance?
Yes — book one lesson, a recurring slot, or a whole month at once. Cancel up to 6 hours before for a wallet refund.
