Brighterly

Brighterly charges $17.70 per 45-minute live 1-on-1 lesson, which works out at $23.60 an hour and is the lowest published rate in this set for a real, scheduled, human-taught elementary session. Brighterly's trial is "100% free, no credit card needed", which almost nobody else here offers. Brighterly publishes per-grade module lists rather than a vague K-12 blurb, so a parent can see the actual sequence: place value and rounding, multi-digit multiplication and division, fraction equivalence and operations, decimal fractions, unit conversions, angle measure and plane figures.

Sorted by price per hour, cheapest first. Sessions run from 22 to 120 minutes, so the hourly figure is the only like-for-like comparison.

One real limitation

Curriculum detail is published only for the entry tier: the maths course page lists Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12 as categories but expands topic detail for Kindergarten-Grade 2 only. The $22/class figure is also a published floor rather than a fixed rate, and no total course price appears anywhere — courses run as multi-session programmes, so the full commitment is obtainable only by booking a demo.

The advertised $15/class floor is only available on the 12-month commitment (104 classes, billed as a "$1560 coaching fee, billed every 52 weeks"); the 6-month plan raises the same tier to $17/class and adds a "$90 platform fee per billing cycle" that the 12-month plan waives.

One real limitation

The heavily advertised "$17.70/lesson" headline — used in page titles across their whole site — is not a general rate: the pricing page shows it requires the 12-month plan AND states "All prices apply to packages of 2 lessons per week". A 1-month term costs $21.90/lesson, roughly 24% more.

One real limitation

There is no fixed price — their own booking page states "Tutors on Wiingy set their own hourly rates based on experience and subject", so the advertised $19/hr and $15/hr figures are per-tutor floors, and even the free trial is conditional ("most tutors... offer a free trial lesson"), not universal.

The "7 days free" trial is not card-free: their own free-trial page states "Billing details are required to activate the trial, but no charge occurs unless you continue past Day 7", and billing begins automatically on day 8 unless the parent cancels first.

Sessions are only "50 to 55 minutes of teaching time", and prepaid packs expire on a fixed clock — the 10-session pack must be used within 3 months and the 50-session pack within 6 months, so unused sessions are forfeited.

One real limitation

The published $50-$55/hour is only an average and is not what you will be quoted: "Pricing varies at each independently owned and operated location" and "Contact your local Sylvan for specific prices" — and their own pages carry three different floors ($49/hour, $50+/session, $50-$55/hour).

The advertised $56 is the bottom of a $56–$99 per-session band, and Learner's own site says rates “vary based on the tutor's experience and level of education, as well as the tutoring package” — so the figure you are quoted may be nearly double. The trial is not free either: it costs $25.

One real limitation

ClassDojo's own site quotes two different prices for the same product — “Starting at $17” on the Dojo Tutor page and “as low as $30 for ongoing sessions” on every subject page — and attaches a duration to neither, while stating classes are “25 or 55 minutes”. The $5 trial is 25 minutes. Until they reconcile that, the real hourly cost cannot be established before you book.

Prices are set by each teacher, not by Outschool, so there is no company rate to compare — listings run $10–$30 per class for anything from 25 minutes to 90. Outschool also adds a marketplace fee revealed only at checkout, behind an account, so the price on a listing is not the price you pay.

We verified pricing, trial availability and session length directly from each provider's own pages in September 2026, and re-check quarterly. Prices are normalized to an hourly rate using the provider's own stated session length; where a provider does not publish pricing, we say so rather than estimating.
