How do I message my tutor?

If you have an active session with a tutor, open the Chat tab, select that session from the chat list, and start the conversation.

Can I get a refund if a session goes badly?

Cancellation, refund, and dispute terms are described in the Terms of Use.

Can I book the same tutor again?

Yes. Save tutors as favorites and send them a new request whenever you need one.

Do I need a computer?

No. BusyHen runs on iPhone and iPad, plus Mac with Apple silicon and visionOS. It is not available on Android or in a web browser.

Is group tutoring cheaper than one-on-one?

Group sessions split the tutor's time across several students, which typically lowers the per-student price. Each group's price is shown before you request a spot.

For Students

Find a tutor, book a session, and learn in one peer-to-peer marketplace

BusyHen is a peer-to-peer tutoring marketplace. Students search a tutor directory by subject, category, and hourly rate, compare profiles that show ratings, acceptance rate, education, and students taught, then book a one-on-one or group session. The same account can switch between student and tutor. Sessions run on in-app video with a shared whiteboard. Payment goes through Stripe after the session ends.
