Build Your Business
Free to start, paid well
Mobius gives tutors a clear path to build a successful tutoring business with free setup, self-set rates, public reputation, and room to grow through strong sessions, referrals, and demand.
Start Free, Earn Clearly
You can start on Mobius without upfront platform costs, then grow earnings through paid sessions as you build your tutoring business.
That model stays straightforward: tutors choose their own session rate, usually between $30 and $120, and Mobius keeps a flat $15 platform fee per session.
How the money works
Mobius is built so tutors can learn free, set their own rates, and grow significant revenue through sessions, direct students, and referrals.
| Business stage | Economics | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Setup and learning the system | Free | Tutors can start with a free profile, learn the platform quickly, and understand the workflow without paying to get started. |
| Tutoring practice | Free | Tutors can practice on the platform and build familiarity with the teaching workflow without paying for access while they develop confidence. |
| Tutoring sessions | Set your own rate (typically $30-$120) | As a tutor, you choose the session price. Mobius keeps a flat $15 platform fee for students we refer to you, or only $5 for your students, so you keep the majority of the session value. |
| Students you refer | $10 on any session with any other tutor in their first 6 months | Students you refer stay attached to you as your referrals, so direct recruiting creates a strong revenue stream regardless of whether the student books sessions with you or other tutors on the platform. |
Set Your Rate
You decide how to price your tutoring on Mobius. Most tutors charge between $30 and $120 per session, based on experience, subject level, and demand.
With a flat $15 platform fee, you can adjust your rate over time without having to relearn a complicated pricing model.
A Public Profile
A public Mobius profile gives your tutoring business a visible home as you start to grow.
It can support growth over time, especially as you pair that profile with strong sessions, referrals, and a reputation families can trust.
Validated Reputation
Completed sessions on Mobius do more than fill your calendar. They help you build toward validated tutor status on the platform.
That visible proof can strengthen your reputation over time and give families more confidence in your work across ages and math themes.
Bring Your Own Students
Growth That Gets Stronger
The strongest tutoring businesses do not grow from one good week.
They grow when proof, demand, and pricing start reinforcing each other. On Mobius, that can happen in a practical order. You start by teaching students you already know or by bringing in referrals. As completed sessions build up, families have more reason to trust your work. That stronger proof can support more demand, and stronger demand gives you more room to refine your rates over time. This is what makes the model healthier. You are not starting from zero with every new family. You are building a business where each strong session can make the next opportunity easier to earn.
