Many experienced tutors today feel undervalued—forced to accept low fees, compete on lead-sharing portals, and lose the respect their profession deserves. This article uncovers the real struggles tutors face with tuition bureaus and how VTTS restores fairness, stability, and dignity in teaching.

 

⚠️ Common Problems Tutors Face with Tuition Bureaus

(And How VTTS Protects Tutors, Fees & Professional Respect)

🎓 Introduction: The Hidden Crisis Behind Home Tutoring Growth

Home tutoring in India has expanded rapidly. Demand is high, parents are searching for personalised education, and students need academic support more than ever.

Yet, despite this growth, tutors—especially experienced ones—are struggling more today than they did years ago.

Why?

Because the tutoring ecosystem has shifted from:

  • education-focused systems
    to

  • price-driven, lead-selling marketplaces

This article acts as a complete guide to tutor-side problems, explaining:

  • What is going wrong

  • Why it is happening

  • How tutors can protect themselves

  • How VTTS offers a fundamentally different model

This is the pillar reference for every tutor working with bureaus or portals.

⚠️ Problem 1 (Highest Priority): Tuition Fees Have Fallen to 7–8 Year Old Levels

❌ What Is Happening

Due to extreme competition among tuition bureaus:

  • Fees are being pushed downward every year

  • Tutors are offered rates they charged 7–8 years ago

  • Experience, subject mastery, and results are ignored

  • Teaching is treated as a commodity service

This problem affects:

  • Senior subject tutors

  • Board exam teachers

  • Tutors with 10–15+ years of experience

When fees stagnate:

  • Professional tutors exit

  • Teaching quality declines

  • Students suffer in the long run

✅ How VTTS Is Different: Fee Integrity Over Price Wars

VTTS refuses to participate in destructive undercutting.

At VTTS:

  • Fees are aligned with:

    • Subject difficulty

    • Class level

    • Tutor experience

  • Parents are educated about quality vs cheap tutoring

  • Experienced tutors are protected from outdated pricing

⚠️ Problem 2: Lead-Sharing Portals Destroy Tutor Dignity & Teaching Quality

❌ What Portals Do

Platforms like Justdial, UrbanPro, Sulekha:

  • Sell one enquiry to 5–7 tutors

  • Create price bidding wars

  • Turn teachers into sales callers

This results in:

  • Lowest-price selection, not best teacher

  • Loss of professional respect

  • Short-term, unstable tuitions

Education becomes transactional, not transformational.

✅ VTTS Model: One Tutor, One Verified Requirement

VTTS completely rejects the portal model.

At VTTS:

  • One requirement → one shortlisted tutor

  • No mass broadcasting

  • No fee undercutting

  • No sales pressure

This ensures:

  • Respect from parents

  • Better tutor–student fit

  • Higher retention
