Bergen Tutors launches this September — a platform where every tutor is a verified, NJ-certified educator. Join now as a Founding Tutor: build your profile this summer for free, be listed on day one, and lock in half-price membership for as long as you stay.
No payment until launch. No commission on your sessions — ever.
Founding Tutors pay $99/year — 50% off the standard rate — for as long as they remain continuously subscribed. And nothing is due until our free launch period ends.
Annual billing only. The founding rate is permanent while continuously subscribed; if you cancel, rejoining is at the standard rate.
Most tutoring platforms take 25–40% of every session you teach. We don't take a cut of anything. One flat membership, and everything you earn is yours.
We never touch payments. You set your rate, discuss it directly with families, and get paid however you like — cash, Venmo, check. No commission, no processing fees, no middleman.
Every tutor is verified against NJDOE records before going live. Parents choose Bergen Tutors because it's all real teachers — which means your credential finally works for you outside the classroom.
Parents searching from your district see you first. In-district teachers get top placement automatically — no bidding, no pay-to-rank, no algorithm games.
Set your availability, your service area, your subjects. Full caseload? Just don't take new inquiries — your listing never gets penalized or buried for being busy.
Fill out the short form below — name, email, where you teach, what you'd tutor. No commitment, no payment info.
We confirm your credential against the NJ Department of Education's public educator records. Real teachers only — that's the whole point of the platform.
Subjects, availability, service area, a short bio if you'd like. Takes about 15 minutes. Everything is free while we onboard Founding Tutors over the summer.
When Bergen County families start searching in September, Founding Tutors are the ones they find. Your $99/year founding rate doesn't begin until the free launch period ends.
I've worked in New Jersey education, including special education case management, and I kept seeing the same thing: parents desperate for tutoring help asking around in Facebook groups, and incredible certified teachers quietly tutoring on the side with no good way to be found.
The big platforms take a huge cut of every session and let anyone with a pulse call themselves a tutor. That felt backwards to me. Teachers hold the credential, do the work, and should keep what they earn.
Bergen Tutors is my answer: a hyperlocal network where verification is real, families browse free, and tutors pay one flat membership instead of giving up a percentage forever. Founding Tutors are the people who help me prove this model works — and the permanent half-price rate is my thank-you for taking that leap with me.
The founding window closes when our free launch period ends. Takes about a minute — no payment info required.
