Your tutoring platform should not cost more than your tutors earn.
WP Sell Services turns your WordPress site into a tutoring marketplace. Tutors create session packages with tiered pricing. Students browse subjects, compare tutors by reviews and seller level, book sessions, and pay through built-in Stripe or PayPal. Requirements collection ensures tutors arrive prepared. No WooCommerce. No monthly platform fees.
Building a tutoring platform has always meant choosing between cost and control.
The only WordPress plugin that works as a tutoring marketplace out of the box.
Booking plugins handle calendars. Directory plugins handle listings. WP Sell Services handles the complete tutoring workflow: session packages with tiered pricing, student requirement collection before sessions begin, delivery tracking, revision support for follow-up sessions, and a review system that builds tutor credibility over time.
Your tutoring marketplace is live in under 10 minutes
Who it's for
SaaS tutoring platforms profit from your tutors. You should too.
Wyzant takes 25% of every session from your tutors. TutorCruncher charges $50-200/month and still does not give you a public marketplace. WP Sell Services gives you a complete self-hosted tutoring platform where you control the commission rate and own the student relationships.
WP Sell Services is the only self-hosted WordPress solution for building a tutoring marketplace. SaaS platforms own the relationship between your tutors and students. We give that relationship back to you.
Two ways for students to find tutors, both included free
Students can browse tutor listings by subject, level, and reviews to find the right match. Or they can post a learning request describing what they need help with, and tutors submit proposals with session plans and pricing. Both paths lead to managed sessions with requirement collection, delivery tracking, and reviews.
Students post what they need to learn, tutors respond with session plans. Two ways to connect, one managed workflow.
Everything your community needs
No extensions to buy. No integrations to configure. It ships with all of this.
Tutor dashboard
Tutors manage their listings, active sessions, earnings, student messages, and teaching portfolio from a responsive frontend dashboard. No wp-admin access needed.
Session package wizard
6-step guided creation for professional tutor listings: subject description, 3-tier session packages (single, bundle, plan), teaching portfolio, FAQs, and pre-session requirements.
Built-in payments (no WooCommerce)
Stripe, PayPal, and offline payments out of the box. Students pay when booking. No third-party checkout plugins, no WooCommerce installation required.
Pre-session requirement collection
After booking, students submit their learning goals, current skill level, and specific topics. Tutors review requirements before the first session to arrive prepared.
Session lifecycle management
11 statuses track every session from payment to completion: requirements, in-progress, delivery, review, and follow-up. Deadline reminders and auto-complete keep things moving.
Follow-up session support
After completing a session, students can request follow-up work or additional sessions. Configurable revision limits per package handle scope changes gracefully.
Student reviews and tutor levels
5-star review system with sub-ratings for communication, expertise, and value. 4 auto-calculated tutor levels: New, Rising, Top Rated, and Pro Tutor.
Dispute resolution
If a session does not meet expectations, students open a structured dispute. Both parties submit evidence. An admin mediates and resolves with a refund, partial credit, or dismissal.
Student learning requests
Students post what they need help with, set a budget, and tutors respond with session proposals. Students compare proposals and accept the best fit.
Platform commission tracking
Set your commission rate globally or per tutor. Track earnings, clearance periods, pending payouts, and completed withdrawals from one admin dashboard.
25 email notifications
Automated emails for every session event: new booking, requirement submission, session delivery, follow-up request, review, and payout. Each notification is individually toggleable.
REST API for mobile apps
21 API controllers cover tutor listings, bookings, reviews, messaging, disputes, and earnings. Build a companion mobile app for students and tutors with the included batch endpoint.
Commission-free tipping
Students tip tutors for exceptional sessions. Tips go directly to the tutor with zero platform commission. A simple gesture that increases tutor retention.
Tutor portfolios
Tutors showcase credentials, teaching samples, and past work on their profile. Students browse portfolios alongside reviews and tutor levels to evaluate quality.
10 currencies and multilingual support
USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, INR, JPY, BRL, MXN, and ZAR. Full RTL support and WPML/Polylang compatibility for multilingual tutoring platforms.

Rated 4.7/5 on Trustpilot from 87 reviews
Top notch support! I've been frustrated generally by the slow support for most themes and plugins, but they are helpful and quick to reply. Highly recommend!

I wanted to build a community website and these guys created the perfect plugins for me. To be honest, I want to buy every single one of their plugins.
