How it works
Tutoring booked like a timetable, not a phone tree
Most tutoring means emailing around to find out who’s free. J2 turns that inside out: tell us the hour you need, and we show you only the tutors who can actually take it.
Booking
- 01Choose your coursePick it from the bar at the top of any page. Each course page opens on the soonest day with openings.
- 02Pick the hour you needThe week is posted as a timetable, and every open hour shows how many tutors are free right then.
- 03Compare who’s openOnly the tutors free for that full hour appear, with the topics they cover, how they teach, their rate and their reviews.
- 04Pay and get your linkCheckout reserves the time and emails your Zoom link. Message your tutor beforehand if you want to flag what to cover.
Questions
- How long is a session?
- One hour, online over Zoom. Start times run every fifteen minutes, and you can book several hours back to back for a longer block.
- When do I get the link?
- Straight after checkout. We email a Zoom link for every session you booked, and the join button on your sessions page opens five minutes before you start.
- What if I need to cancel?
- Cancel more than 24 hours ahead and you're refunded in full. Inside 24 hours the session isn't refunded, because your tutor has already held the time. If a tutor cancels, you're always refunded in full.
- Is the time actually free when I see it?
- Yes. The schedule is generated from each tutor's real availability minus what's already booked. Times aren't held while they sit in your cart, though — they're reserved at checkout, so finish up to lock one in.
- Who are the tutors?
- UT Austin students who have already taken the course they teach. Tutoring with J2 is invite-only, and every tutor's rating comes from students who actually booked them.
