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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
