Do students pay a subscription?
No. Students don’t need a platform subscription to book lessons.
Simple pricing to learn, teach, and grow
Students only pay for lessons they book. Teachers start free, set their own rates, and their commission can decrease over time.

Why Pratiqo isn’t just a directory
Teacher directories
Great for browsing profiles—booking, payment, follow-up, and disputes are often handled elsewhere.
Global learning platforms
Strong online tools, often less focused on local proximity, at-home lessons, and neighborhood context.
Traditional agencies
More structured matching—often less flexibility on choosing the teacher, pricing, and direct relationships.
Pratiqo
Local discovery, trusted profiles, booking, payment, progress, and a resolution center in one experience.

Based on cumulative annual volume. The annual Pro Member rebate is a conditional retroactive commercial volume rebate, calculated according to eligible annual volume generated on the Pratiqo marketplace. It is not participation in Cours Pratiqo Inc.'s profits, a financial return, an investment, or guaranteed income. YoPratiqo and other separate self-paced products are excluded.
Displayed commissions, tiers, and benefits may vary depending on the applicable plan, promotions, eligible volume, and conditions shown on the platform. Pro Member status may improve certain visibility signals, but does not guarantee ranking, visibility, bookings, students, or income. Teachers remain independent contractors.
Pro makes sense when you teach regularly
Pro Member lowers commission by 10 percentage points at the Bronze tier. Around $300 CAD in monthly lesson volume, that savings can offset the monthly Pro Member fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is the listed price what I pay?
Yes—for the lesson. The price shown is what you pay at checkout, without an extra platform fee from Pratiqo.
How does commission work?
Pratiqo keeps a percentage on completed, paid lessons. Your rate depends on Free vs Pro and your annual volume tier.
Why does Pratiqo charge a commission?
It funds discovery, booking, payments, receipts, trust signals, and support.
When does Pro Member become worthwhile?
When your lesson volume means the lower Pro commission saves more than the monthly fee—often around $300 CAD/month at the Bronze tier as a rough guide, not a promise.
Can I cancel my Pro Member membership?
Yes. Pro Member costs $29.99 CAD/month, plus applicable taxes, is billed monthly in advance, and renews automatically. You can cancel any time from your dashboard or via support@pratiqo.ca; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
How do Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum work?
Your tier reflects rolling annual lesson volume on Pratiqo. As volume grows, your rate can move to the published tiers.
When are teachers paid?
Timing depends on payout processing, account status, and any required checks—not a single fixed payday for everyone.
What if there’s a problem with a lesson?
Use the resolution center so we can help coordinate a fair outcome.
