Online Tutoring & Test Prep
Add tutors in hours, pay them per session, and keep the ones who drive student results.
Wingspan handles the full contractor payment lifecycle for online tutoring platforms and test prep companies — from W-9 collection and background check clearance through per-session payment calculation, instant payouts, and year-end 1099 filing.
Same-day
Tutors access earnings the same day a session is logged and approved, eliminating the Net-30 pay cycles that drive top educators to build private client lists.
Tutor payouts
10 min
New tutors complete W-9, background check authorization, direct deposit, and contract signature in a single mobile flow — ready to teach before the next SAT cycle starts.
Onboarding time
100%
Wingspan generates and files 1099-NECs for every contractor on your roster at year-end, including tutors who submitted one session in April and never responded to a follow-up.
1099 coverage
Stop losing your best tutors to private practice over slow pay
The gap between session completion and payment is the single biggest driver of tutor churn. Agencies that pay on Net-30 or twice-monthly cycles lose their highest-rated educators to private practice, where parents pay immediately.
Wingspan gives tutors access to earnings the same day a session is logged and approved, with variable rate support for different pay rates by subject, student type, or contract tier. Tutors see their balance in the Wingspan portal and can initiate an instant transfer to their bank account.
Onboard 50 tutors before SAT season without cutting corners
When SAT registration deadlines hit or a school district launches a high-dosage tutoring contract, demand does not ramp gradually. Agencies that collect W-9s over email, route contracts through DocuSign, and track background checks in spreadsheets cannot staff fast enough.
Wingspan collects everything in a single digital onboarding flow — W-9, background check authorization, direct deposit setup, contract signature, and credential uploads — and tutors complete it on their phone in under 10 minutes. For K-12 contexts, background check clearance gates the tutor's active status — no tutor is matched to a student until the check clears.
File accurate 1099s without chasing down tutors who worked one session
Tutoring agencies that operated in six states last school year and engaged 400 contractors now face year-end tax filing with incomplete W-9 data, mismatched TINs, and tutors who never responded to the original request.
Wingspan collects and verifies W-9s at onboarding, catches TIN mismatches before the first payment, and consolidates every disbursement into one system of record. Year-end 1099 filing happens automatically from verified data, and agencies operating across multiple states get state-level earnings segmentation without manual reconciliation.
Verify teaching credentials and clear background checks before the first student session
Tutoring companies working with minors face a compliance layer that generic payment tools ignore entirely — state teaching certifications, subject-matter credentials, and background check clearance are a condition of operating, especially under school district contracts.
Wingspan collects state teaching licenses, standardized test certification records, and background check authorization in a single onboarding flow, with document verification that flags expired or mismatched credentials at submission. Payment is gated to active credential and background check status — a tutor whose state license expires or whose background check has not cleared cannot be scheduled or paid.
We had tutors leaving because they couldn't wait 30 days to get paid. I thought that was just the nature of the business. Turns out it was a process problem, and it was fixable.
