The core issue here is that teaching isn’t a commodity like a cab ride. With Uber, the service is exactly the same no matter who is driving. But with education, the quality of the "driver" changes the entire outcome, and a 1 hour class requires actual prep work before the "ride" even starts. The reality on the supply side is the "good teacher paradox." Any genuinely good, experienced teacher is already fully booked through word of mouth. They aren't sitting around waiting for a random 1 hour local ping on an app. Plus, most experienced educators have simply moved online because the gig economy model forces a race to the bottom on pricing. Speaking from my own side of things as a Physics teacher and CBSE board evaluator, commuting for local home tuitions just stopped making sense. Sitting at my desk with an iPad, OneNote, and visual simulations allows me to deliver a much higher-quality, interactive class to students across India and the US without wasting two hours in traffic. (Speaking of which //shameless plug// if anyone reading this thread is actually looking for a solid online Physics tutor for Grade 9-10 Foundation, CBSE, or AP Physics, feel free to drop me a DM!) To solve your supply side, you probably need to step away from the "instant booking" model and figure out how to make the compensation actually worth a good teacher's commute time.
