Our verdict on each
BUKI
BUKI suits families in Poland and nearby markets who want a broad tutor pool at a mid-range lesson rate, with lessons priced from PLN 50 and a free trial to start. The service fee is 0% and tutors are screened, which matters for parents weighing it against ErsteNachhilfe or Schülerhilfe.
Wyzant
Wyzant suits US families who want a wide pool of one to one tutors without a subscription and a free first hour. Entry lesson price $25 sits well below the median of $95, so the real cost sits in the tutor rate you settle on.

Pros and cons
BUKI
Pros
- The median lesson price ranks 1 of 8 brands in our data, so the typical rate is among the strongest in the group.
- A tutor pool of 80,000 makes matching a pupil to a subject or a language far easier than on a small local service.
- The trial lesson is free, so testing a tutor costs nothing before a family books a regular slot.
Cons
- Lesson prices are published in Polish zloty, starting at PLN 50, so families budgeting in euros or dollars have to convert.
- The starting price ranks 10 of 32 brands in our data, behind entry rates such as DojoTutor's $10 and Schülerhilfe's €8.76.
- Tutor vetting is screening rather than certification, and across a pool of 80,000 tutors the qualification bar is the detail worth checking per tutor.
Wyzant
Pros
- Entry price is low. Lessons start at $25 while the median sits at $95.
- No platform cut on top. The service fee is 0%, so the tutor rate is the whole rate.
- A deep bench of tutors. The pool holds 65,000, ranked 3 of 16 on tutor count.
Cons
- Typical cost runs well above the advertised entry rate, since the median lesson price is $95 against entry at $25. Budget on the median.
- There is no separate free trial period, and a trial lesson is offered as free only.
- Support runs on help centre and community alone, so a direct line to a person is not part of the offer.
Who each suits
BUKI
Who it suits
- Parents in Poland and neighbouring markets who want a large tutor pool for maths, languages and coding, plus a free trial before committing.
- Teenagers and adults revising school subjects or picking up a language, since lessons start at a minimum age of 16.
- Families who prefer a clear per-lesson price over a subscription, with the service fee at 0%.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers priced in dollars or euros, since BUKI quotes PLN 50 in Polish zloty while DojoTutor lists $10 and Schülerhilfe lists €8.76 in euros.
- Families hunting the lowest entry rate, since BUKI's starting price ranks 10 of 32 brands, while DojoTutor lists lessons from $10 in dollars.
- Learners who want a plain national price list, since BUKI's rates move by tutor and ErsteNachhilfe publishes a starting rate of €10.50 in euros.
Wyzant
Who it suits
- US households, since it runs in US and its headquarters sit in the United States.
- Parents who want to compare tutors first, since a pool of 65,000 and a free trial lesson let a family test the fit.
- Students sitting a major test, since the test preparation catalogue covers sat, act and gre.
Who should look elsewhere
- DojoTutor, where a lower entry rate of $10 suits a tighter budget.
- ErsteNachhilfe, where lessons start at €10.50.
- BUKI, at PLN 50, and anyone who needs a formal free trial period, since a free trial is not part of the offer.

Questions about each
BUKI
How much does a BUKI lesson cost?+
Fees start at PLN 50 for a lesson, and the maths page lists a typical rate of PLN 72. The starting figure is the floor a tutor can quote rather than what most families pay, so budgeting from the median gives a fairer picture of a term of lessons.
Is there a free trial lesson?+
The trial lesson is free, which means a family can meet a tutor before paying for a regular slot. Lessons then continue at the rates quoted on the maths page, starting at PLN 50. The trial is a good check on teaching style and on the tutor's grasp of the syllabus.
Wyzant
How much does a lesson cost on Wyzant?+
Lessons start at $25 and the median lesson price is $95. The service fee is 0%, so no platform charge sits on top of the tutor rate. Budget for the median rather than the entry figure, since the two sit far apart.
Does Wyzant charge a subscription?+
No subscription is listed. Charging is per lesson through $25 and $95, and the service fee is 0%. Families who expect a fixed monthly plan should compare a subscription platform, where the median subscription across compared sites runs at €71.91.
