UrbanPro connects learners with tutors, trainers, and institutes for one-to-one lessons online or offline. Its marketplace spans more than 1,000 categories, including academic tuition, exam preparation, languages, hobbies, IT courses, professional skills, and personal development. Learners can compare tutor profiles, attend free demo classes, and choose a lesson format. Creating an account is free, but tutors need premium membership to respond to student enquiries; that membership includes UrbanPro Coins. The coin cost for each enquiry varies with subject, student location, demand, and student behavior, and may change without notice. Tutor tools include two-way audio and video, screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, class and attendance management, notes sharing, and online student testing. UrbanPro says tutors undergo identity and education checks, and users can block or report suspicious behavior. It recommends Secure Pay for transactions between tutors and students. The service is available on web, Android, and iOS, with separate Android apps for tutors and learners and a learner app for iPhone and iPad.
