eduFire is a great site for tutors and individuals who are looking to learn or improve their language skills. The core aspect of the site is the tutorial section. eduFire has tutors in many languages from Arabic to Portuguese. You can click on a language and a list of tutors appears. Each tutor has a profile, a photo, the cost per hour and the information on how many students they have. If you find a tutor that interests you, you can click on them and read the profile which has more in-depth information on their experience as well as testimonials. eduFire takes 15% of the tutorial session price.

"We have a simple (but not easy) mission: Revolution education.
Our goal is to create a platform to allow live learning to take place over the Internet anytime from anywhere.
Most importantly...for anyone. We’re the first people (we know) to create something that’s totally open and community-driven (rather than closed and transaction-driven).
We’re excited to create tools for people to teach and learn what they love in ways they never imagined possible.
If changing the world is your thing and you’re as passionate about education and learning as we are, please get in touch."

There are many sites dedicated to tutors how will eduFire.com deal with competition? Individuals interested in tutoring can freelance on sites such as Craigslist and receive their entire hourly wage. Will the 15% deduction discourage good tutors from joining the eduFire.com community?
