According to the FAQ, at the 16$/hr bundle rate, tutors are only seeing about 10. Italki takes about a 15% cut, so I'm curious what the justification for the over double commission rate is, especially given the vulnerable population.

Yeah, 6 out of 16 dollars... 37.5% cut.

But it seems like that's the best possible cut.

Also from FAQ:

>Our pricing of $25/hour, which goes down to $16 USD/hour when you purchase a bundle of 10 hour sessions, is split as follows:

>$10, regardless of the package, goes straight to our CPs.

and

> $25/hour if you purchase 1 hour

> $19/hour if you purchase 5 hours

> $16/hour if you purchase 10 hours

So a 60% cut or a 47% cut (!!!)
