When tutors are paid

Each lesson's share is sent to your Stripe account 48 hours after the lesson ends, if no problem was reported. Package lessons are paid per lesson taught, never up front.

Stripe pays your available balance to your bank automatically every Monday. You can see your earnings and balance any time on the Earnings and payouts page (dashboard → Earnings). There's no way to request a payout yourself, and instant payouts aren't available.

Tutors are independent contractors and handle their own taxes; Stripe collects a W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (outside the US) and issues 1099 forms when the yearly thresholds are met.

If a learner uses the first-lesson guarantee, Polyglaris covers it and you're still paid for that lesson, unless we find you didn't show up or were at fault.
