How it works

From first request to finished work — on your terms.

Four steps, one private workspace. You agree the price before anything begins, and every message, draft, and session stays on-platform — so the record is always yours.

01The flow

Four steps, start to finish

  1. 01

    Post a request or browse tutors

    Tell us the subject, the service, and your deadline — or browse vetted tutors and reach out. You stay pseudonymous from the first message.

  2. 02

    Agree a price through offers

    A tutor sends an offer; you can counter until it's right, then accept. Every order is priced your way — hourly, per word, or a fixed fee.

  3. 03

    Work together on-platform

    Private messaging, your own drafts, and a shared session timer for hourly work. Nothing leaves the platform, so there's always an auditable record.

  4. 04

    Pay when you're happy

    Payment is agreed up front and settled once the work meets what you agreed. If it falls short, re-work is included.

02Offers & haggling

Two-sided offers, real negotiation

Either side can start, and either side can counter. Nothing is locked until you both agree.

Counter freely

A student can post a request and take offers, or make an offer to a specific tutor. Either side can counter until the price is right.

Offers don't expire

An offer stands until it's accepted or the maker revokes it — no pressure timers, no expiring quotes.

Priced your way

Choose hourly, per word, or a fixed fee per task at the point you agree. The unit fits the work, not the other way round.

03On-platform delivery

Everything in one private workspace

Keeping the work on Instudy is what makes it private, safe, and auditable at the same time.

Order-scoped messaging

Every conversation is tied to an order and treated as sensitive — private to the two of you.

Your own drafts

Upload the work you want help with; files are encrypted at rest and scoped to the people involved.

Shared session timer

Hourly work runs on a timer you both start; either side can pause or stop. You pay for the time you agree.

An auditable record

Because work stays on-platform, there's always a clear record that the help was genuine support.

04If it's not right

Re-work comes first

If the work falls short of what you agreed, your tutor puts it right — the first rounds are included, within the agreed scope. Your statutory rights are always honoured.
