Comparison Disclaimer

The “30–60% lower” claim

Forum Tutoring positions every pricing surface around the statement "30–60% lower than the national average for online tutoring." This page documents how that claim is substantiated and the assumptions behind it.

Comparison claims are based on national average online tutoring rates as published by independent industry research firms as of 2026-05-19. National average ranges typically reflect $35–$60 per hour formarketplace platforms and $85–$199 per session for subscriptionservices, based on a basket of providers. Forum Tutoring is not affiliated with or endorsed by any third-party tutoring service. Service offerings differ between providers; comparison is based on most-similar product where exact equivalents do not exist.
