In my opinion, people who are genuinely looking for tutors to improve their understanding of the subject would look around for the feedback on tutors everywhere to see if they are worth the money. I mean, more or less than $30 an hour (which I think is around the average price these days?) isn't cheap in the long run. Not at all.

Sure, people would be like "He's got a 50 in ___ ? Sign me up right away!" but if they have negative feedback then they would be deterred. If I ever wanted a tutor for a subject, I would check out what feedback they had, the study score they achieved and then ask them, if their study score wasn't exactly what I was looking for, what reason contributed to a study score lower than what I wanted from a tutor. If they are honest and the reason is adequate, I'd try having them as tutors for a few hours and decide from there.

But I've never tutored/had a tutor before so I'm not sure if that's how it works or if people can do that? :p
