# iTalki Alternative for Tutors — Voilà

> Not accepted to iTalki, or tired of losing up to a third of your group classes to commission? Voilà lets language tutors start teaching today — keep your students, set your own rates, and pay a flat $1.99 per session.

## Why tutors choose Voilà over iTalki

iTalki rejects many qualified teachers from its marketplace, and takes a cut of every lesson from those it accepts. Voilà was built to put tutors back in control: your rates, your students, your income.

- **No gatekeeping.** Start teaching without waiting on an opaque marketplace approval process.
- **Your students stay yours.** You own the relationship and get paid directly through Stripe.
- **Keep more of every lesson.** A flat $1.99 per session on 1:1 individual classes (and just 15% on group classes) instead of iTalki's 21% on 1:1 lessons and 30% on group classes.

## Tutor story

> "iTalki wouldn't accept me to teach French — they said it was full. On Voilà I teach English, French, and Portuguese, and custom class types let me price each lesson differently, so I take home more. My students came with me." — Maria, English / French / Portuguese tutor, Brasil
