TutorOcean

TutorOcean is an academic tutoring marketplace founded in 2015 and based in Ottawa, Canada. It connects students with private tutors for homework help, test prep, and subject tutoring, and is available in English and French. The company also licenses its virtual-classroom and marketplace technology to institutions, but its consumer product is a marketplace where tutors operate independently.

Students create a free account and search for tutors by subject, language, price, and availability, then book sessions directly. Lessons take place in TutorOcean’s virtual classroom, which supports real-time video, a shareable interactive whiteboard, and one-on-one or one-to-many sessions. Tutors build profiles with their qualifications, subjects, and rates, and student ratings help others choose.

Pricing is set by individual tutors and generally ranges from about $20 to $100+ per hour depending on subject and experience; setting up a student account is free. TutorOcean operates internationally despite its Canadian base and positions itself as a flexible, pay-as-you-go option. It suits students and parents who want to compare independent tutors on price and book sessions in an integrated online classroom.
