What is Tutor Matching Service (TMS*)?

Tutor Matching Service (TMS*) is an online and on-demand private tutor list that schedules and books appointments as well as handles payment for tutoring. It is available online to students for course-specific or additional tutoring not possible through the support offered by the Seneca Learning Centre.

TMS tutors offer their services on a pay-per-session basis through an online platform called GoBoard. Tutors set their rates themselves and students pay them directly online. Available TMS tutors can be found online.

If you are interested in becoming a tutor, visit tutormatchingservice.com to learn more about registering. Please note that tutors are responsible for scheduling and managing their own appointments. Tutors can set their hourly rate of pay; however, a rate between $14 and $20 would be reasonable. Good student ratings will ensure your name will stay at the top of the tutoring list.
