Comparison
TutorPax vs Wix
Wix is a general website builder for any kind of business. It will absolutely build you a tutoring site — you just start from a blank page and wire up booking, payments, and course delivery yourself.
TutorPax is not a marketplace and never sends you students. It rents you the website — your own domain, your own pages, your own course sales — for a flat €19 a month, and takes nothing from what you charge.
Where Wix is the better choice
- Enormous design flexibility — if you can picture it, you can build it.
- A huge app marketplace for anything the core product does not do.
- Mature, well-documented, and not going anywhere.
Why tutors look for something else
- It is a blank page. Every hour spent choosing a layout is an hour not spent teaching.
- Selling a course means bolting on an app, and large video files are the first thing to break.
- Nothing in it knows what a tutor is — no lesson enquiries, no student reviews, no course entitlements.
- Costs stack quietly: plan, plus app, plus video hosting, plus payment fees.
How they charge
A monthly subscription for hosting and the builder. Selling courses or taking payments generally means a higher tier plus third-party apps, each with their own fee.

Straight answer
When you should stay with Wix
You have no students yet
If you have nowhere to send people yet, the tool matters far less than having something published at all. Use whatever gets you live this week.
You teach occasionally
A flat monthly fee only beats a percentage once you are teaching regularly. A few hours a month and the maths goes the other way — check it before you move.
Most tutors run both for a while. The marketplace keeps producing students while your own site builds up search traffic and referrals, and the balance shifts on its own.
Questions tutors ask
Wix can do everything TutorPax does. Why switch?
It can, and if you enjoy building sites you may prefer it. The difference is the starting point: we begin with the blocks a tutoring business needs already assembled and wired to payments and video. You are editing, not architecting.
Can I move my existing Wix site over?
You rebuild the pages here rather than importing them — the content transfers, the layout gets redone in our blocks. If you already own a domain, you point it at your new site and keep the address.
