Pros and cons
Pros
- Tutors are screened before they take sessions, which is the vetting level the company states.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so families can reach a person as well as browse the help centre.
- New Private Tutoring students get a refund inside a fixed window or after a short run of lesson hours.
- Subjects cover math, english and science, and lessons run as 1to1 and group so a learner can move between solo work and small groups.
Cons
- The trial lesson is paid, so the first session costs money before any longer commitment.
- The Private Tutoring plan starts at $499, above ErsteNachhilfe at €10.50 and DojoTutor at $10.
- Tutor vetting rests on screening rather than certification, so families who want certified teachers have less to go on.
- Cancelling needs 48 hours notice, which is longer than a same day change would allow.
Who it suits
- US families booking repeat tutoring for school-age children across core subjects.
- Parents who put tutor screening and a refund window for new students above the lowest lesson price.
- Learners who need help in math, english and science alongside regular schoolwork.
Who should look elsewhere
- Families on a tight budget: BUKI lists lesson prices from PLN 50.
- Anyone wanting only occasional help: ErsteNachhilfe lists lesson prices from €10.50.
- Anyone who wants a single session rather than a run of lessons: DojoTutor starts at $10.
The company behind it
Revolution Prep trades as Revolution Prep, LLC and sits in the United States, and it has been running since 2002. That trading record is longer than most of the newer tutoring marketplaces, which matters for a service bought in repeat sessions rather than once. Families can reach the team on email, phone and help centre, so a question about scheduling, tutor matching or an invoice can go to a person as well as to the help centre. A US base also means the service is staffed and priced for a single market, which narrows the audience compared with platforms that sell across several markets.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Revolution Prep lesson cost?+
The Private Tutoring plan starts at $499, and that is the plan price stated for entry. It sits above the site median of €35.08 for lesson prices from, and well above ErsteNachhilfe at €10.50 and DojoTutor at $10.
Is the trial lesson free?+
The trial lesson is paid, so the first session carries a charge before any longer commitment. Families budgeting a first look should add that session to the Private Tutoring starting price of $499 rather than treat it as a free sample.
How much notice is needed to cancel?+
Cancelling needs 48 hours notice. A booking placed inside that window is harder to unwind, so families who book several sessions at once should keep the notice period in mind when planning term dates around the Private Tutoring plan.
What does the plan cover and how are lessons run?+
Lessons run as 1to1 and group across math, english and science, so a learner can move between solo sessions and small groups across the core school subjects. The Private Tutoring plan is the listed starting point at $499, and the guarantee for new students runs alongside it.
What does the new student guarantee cover?+
New Private Tutoring students can get a refund within a fixed window or after a short run of lesson hours. Students already enrolled are not part of that promise, so families should check the terms rather than assume the same window applies to later bookings.
Are tutors checked before they teach?+
Tutors are screened before they take sessions, which is the vetting level the terms describe. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions about a tutor's background can be raised by email or phone as well as through the help centre.
Where does the company run and who suits it?+
The company is Revolution Prep, LLC, headquartered in the United States and trading since 2002. That places the service in a single market, so families outside the US should check coverage before paying the Private Tutoring starting price of $499.
