Miscellaneous comments:

1. Like 'iamthephpguy', I found the site design a bit out of keeping with what I imagined the positioning to be (I could be imagining wrongly!). The graphic design gives a sort of school-age learning vibe, but the copy gives more of an adult-professional vibe. What's the target audience?

2. I like the basic pitch, though. If the price is actually possible to sustain while keeping up quality, $15 for 45 minutes of a professional's time is quite attractive.

3. The site gives the feeling of a general-purpose tutoring market. I'm not sure this is the best way to go, versus picking a more targeted niche, like language tutoring. I could be wrong, but I think the pitch you have here, experienced South American teachers tutoring you for $15/session, is stronger than an open-ended tutoring-on-any-subject pitch. Especially because general platform sites can have a tendency to end up feeling like a ghost town, if only some categories have real activity.

Good feedback. Ya, we ended up alpha testing our site with both Spanish and Chinese but ended up launching with just Spanish because its easier to try to initially build up a marketplace with only one subject as you point out (to avoid the ghost town feel).

Maybe gearing towards language tutoring at this point makes sense
