Wyzant vs Koydo
Wyzant's been around since 2005 and has tens of thousands of US-based tutors. Koydo's bet: tutors and schools want a smaller marketplace that gives them more back per lesson and ships proper microschool tooling.
Weigh US K-12 scale against take rate and tooling. Wyzant has been around since 2005 with tens of thousands of US-based tutors, a deep bench for SAT, ACT, and AP prep, and something Koydo can't match: in-person matching in US metros, where Koydo is online-only. Its discovery runs on search and reviews. Wyzant's take rate is variable and can reach 25-40%, scaling with tutor seniority. Koydo's is a fixed 3% regardless of tenure — roughly $26,000 a year saved for a tutor working 20 hours a week at $60. Koydo also ships microschool tooling at no extra cost: a school admin surface with every account, a multi-child parent portal, verified background screening required before minor-facing bookings, city pages and cohorts, plus a 100-city Lingua Exchange and 49+49 native-language pairs, where Wyzant is US-centric. Choose Wyzant for US K-12 density and in-person tutoring; choose Koydo for the take rate, school tooling, and international reach.
