Learner review

Learner is a managed service: a parent answers a 1 minute assessment, has a 5 minute call, and Learner schedules the first session within 72 hours. It says it hires only 3% of tutor applicants, after an interview, a recorded problem-solving video and a live teaching interview. Plans start with Silver at $219 a month for 2 hours, and Gold at $349 for 4 hours adds unlimited group classes and homework help; larger plans run up to 30 hours a month. A trial costs $25, and Learner lists sessions at $56 to $99. Sessions can be recorded for review. The downsides are cost and rigidity: the entry plan works out to about $110 an hour, and unused hours do not roll over. It suits families who value a vetted, matched tutor over the lowest price. We compared documented features and published prices only.
