for improvement in terms of ensuring fair compensation for online tutors, especially
considering the time and effort they invest in preparing materials, delivering lessons, and
providing support to students. Additionally, platforms could implement transparent payment
structures, offer incentives for high-quality teaching, and provide opportunities for
professional development to help tutors enhance their skills and earning potential.
