VERDICT

Should I use TutorDex?

Zero-commission tutor marketplace connecting students and tutors, built as the First Tutors successor - tutordex.net

Depends. UK tutors wanting cheap or free student leads should try it: zero commission plus a free student and schedule tool. Students, agencies, or tutors needing a mature platform with payment protection should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; several positive Reddit mentions are founder-authored, which tempers confidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Zero commission means the platform does not handle payments or disputes for you.

Much of the positive buzz in tutor forums comes from the founder's own posts.

No published pricing tiers found; confirm any listing fees before committing.

Unfunded, single-founder platform: shutdown or stagnation risk if adoption stalls.
