Outschool started as a live class platform for kids and now runs a tutoring section where independent teachers offer 1-on-1 sessions in English, math, science, world languages, music, arts and life skills. Each listing shows the teacher's ratings, degrees, teaching certificates and years of experience, which makes screening easier than on a bare marketplace. Many listings target reading support for kids with dyslexia or ADHD. There are no contracts or sales calls: you book by the session. Outschool says it has served 1.5M+ learners. Each teacher sets a price, and sessions on the tutoring page ranged from $18 to $90 when we checked, but because those listings change we mark pricing as pending. The tradeoffs are that teachers are independent, so quality varies, and the platform is built for children rather than college students. We compared documented features and published prices only.
