Good teaching is personal. The way you find it shouldn't be a gamble.
Finding a tutor in India mostly still works through word of mouth, a number passed around a parents' group, or a coaching centre that puts sixty students in a room and calls it attention. When it works, it works because you got lucky.
Discera is a marketplace for one-to-one tutoring, built so that the luck matters less. You can see who a tutor is, what they've actually done, and what they charge, before you book a single hour. You pay for that hour and nothing more. The class happens here, on video, and if it doesn't happen you get your money back.
Tutors should keep what they charge
Most platforms take a cut of the tutor's rate, and the better the tutor, the more they lose by being there. We don't. A tutor sets their rate and receives it in full — our fee sits on top and is paid by the student. It means the person doing the teaching isn't subsidising the platform.
An hour should be worth booking on its own
You shouldn't have to buy a package of forty sessions to find out whether someone can teach. Every booking on Discera is a single hour, paid for by itself. If it was good, book another. If it wasn't, you've lost an hour, not a term's fees.
Everyone should be who they say they are
Every tutor is reviewed before their profile goes live. Every account — student, parent and tutor — is tied to a mobile number we've actually checked. For students under 18, a parent confirms on their own number before a single session can be booked.
If something goes wrong, that's our problem
Payment is held until the class has happened. If a tutor doesn't turn up, the student is refunded without having to argue for it. If a tutor has to call off a session, they can, without penalty — because the alternative to an honest cancellation isn't a kept promise, it's a student sitting alone in an empty room.
How we choose tutors
Discera is built in India, and it's selective on purpose: we'd rather a few tutors who are genuinely good than a directory of thousands nobody has checked. Every tutor is reviewed before they appear. If you teach, and you're used to being asked for a cut of your rate, we'd like to hear from you.
