If you care so much about the kids you were tutoring, why didn't you continue tutoring them yourself, without the rent-seeking middleman?

There is a lot of regulation and paperwork/fees to start your own business. Makes it hard to justify if you only want to tutor a few hours a week

Chegg provided the kids (and rightfully took a cut for it).

What am I supposed to do? start cold calling college students asking if they need help? lol

Yeah, I could start my own tutoring business, but imagine the costs: I'd have to start a website, take payments, advertise, advertise, advertise.

It'd be great if someone did all that for me and I just could log in to tutor when I wanted.
