* About the “$600–$1,200/month part-time” figure. Calculated as 20–30 hours of paid lessons per month at hourly rates of $20–$50/hour, net of Bantu Plaza’s standard 25% commission for Professional-tier tutors. Your actual earnings depend on your tier, hourly rate, hours delivered, lesson type, and student retention — and are not guaranteed. New tutors typically start at Community tier (35% commission) and earn the Professional/Loyalty rates with sustained activity. Full commission disclosure: see Terms §4a.
