TutStu doesn't collect any payments from Students. All tutoring fees, is paid to Tutors, directly.

To make the payment process easier, Students can pay the Tutor, directly from inside their Student Portals. Students who wish to pay the tutor, are redirected to PayPal (or PayUMoney, for Indian Tutors).
Payments from Students are your HARD EARNED MONEY. It's yours. TutStu doesn't charge any commission. TutStu doesn't charge any Cut.
How could we? In the process we explained, when Student pays the Tutor, the payment is directly transferred to Tutor's PayPal or PayUMoney Account. And via PayPal or PayUMoney, the payment is directly transferred to Tutor's Bank.
Suppose:- A Student pays $50. The $50 will first go to Tutor's PayPal or PayUMoney Account. From PayPal or PayUMoney, the entire $50 is transferred to Tutor's bank.
