A Costly Mirage for Aspiring Tutors
May 23, 2024 01:20 PM251 Views

Kudos to the support team for their quick and helpful responses, but it feels like a lighthouse in the middle of a desert - guiding you to nowhere.


Now lets discuss the 99% of other side. I have to hand it to UrbanPro; they've really outdone themselves by dodging a'0' star rating. My stint with UrbanPro got me thinking - is it an app for chilling out or a coin guzzler, expertly targeting hopeful tutors like me? Every interaction demands a hefty coin offering, yet the results are as rare as UFO sightings.


The range of responses from students is like a mixed bag of sweets: some aren't interested, others can only manage a'sorry, ' and then there are those few souls seeking Photoshop mastery in the world of unclothed images. Ah, the wonders of Bloody rasc@l curiosity!


I ventured into UrbanPro with dreams of financial stability, only to find a barren land where student prospects vanish like mirages. Looking back, maybe I should've consulted the Google before diving into this UrbanPro saga. Live and learn, they say. Or in this case, 'Lose coins and lament.'


Note: Don't trust the positive reviews about this company on any platform like mouthshut, google and etc., They are fake and I guess those were posted by the Urban team.


Thanks, but no thanks, UrbanPro. It was a good bad experience."


UrbanPRO is a total Scam for Desperate Teachers
Feb 18, 2024 04:02 PM1010 Views

UrbanPRO is a total SCAM with a very little luck that one tutor may get some benefit if very very lucky.


I am a use for about a year as a teacher and a Paid Member. When I downloaded the app and registered, they took Rs. 499(GST is extra) to register. Then they charge for Subscription for 3 /6/ 12 months where they give some free coins(To be used to contact enquiries) and then once they are exhausted, you have to buy more coins.


The Scam starts after subscription. You first of all have to upload loads of information and proof of your credibility as a teacher. But the enquiries are real or made-up, you have no proof. Most of the enquiries you contact would not even contact back or receive your call. Then if they receive also, the numbers are concealed by Virtual Number.


First they are asking money to sign up, then to subscribe, then to contact each enquiry and then if they convert, you have to pay 25–33% of the fees to UrbanPRO and you have to teach in their platform only.


If the student opts for Tutor’s Home, only then will they share the real number.


Now in many cases(Most of the cases) the enquiries are not even serious or posted with correct information about the student, but if u contact them, you loose your coins. For a 1000 coins(which costs about Rs 1000/-), you will hardly be able to contact 8–12 enquiries and that also most of them will not respond or you will find them with wrong information. They also sometime deduct double the number of coins mentioned for the enquiry with the logic of “Intent of contact”. So you contacted the enquiry with message(in their app only) you pay the said coins and if u call them through the app, you again pay the same number of coins. SCAM at its BEST.


So if you are a teacher of any form or subject or a tutor or a start-up Tutorial or Educational Centre, please keep away from them.

Its a scam

Sales team will promise things but profile never works. Its a scam and fraudulent business. We have signed up as a business but nothing works. Its absolutely useless


Very bad experience
Feb 28, 2023 01:17 PM456 Views

I am a job seeker so thought to improve my communication skills. I contacted a teacher from UrbanPro and submitted the fee on the same day so that we can start classes immediately. But from the very next day she started making excuses and for 14 days she did not take any session.


I raised complaint against her on UrbanPro using their chat support but they just did nothing because I made the payment externally. The tutor asked me to pay on her number and I was not aware of the policy. But still if UrbanPro wanted to help me they could the teacher to show the links of classes because she told them that she is done with all the classes which was completely non sense. I paid the fee for full month so how could she take classes with in 20 days. As she has not taken any class so she must not have any links to show but UrbanPro even did not bother to ask this very obvious question. I just got the mail from UrbanPro that they just can not help me because I paid externally.


If company wanted to help me it was very easy for them and after that I could connect myself with other teacher.


Just a suggestion to UrbanPro that Please highlight your policy of not paying externally so that people can save themselves from Frauds and due to lack of awareness if someone paid externally even then please help them to recover their money as these frauds are using your company name.


Fake UrbanPro.com
Dec 02, 2022 11:52 AM483 Views

One of the worst companies in India is UrbanPro.com.


I've been working there for years, and there is no potential for employee growth here.


Regarding their business module, Mr. Rakesh Kalra and Bhavana Kalra have created it such that they each receive a salary of about 10 to 12 lakhs per month, and the company generates a MOM of about 80 to 85 lakhs, with just 50% of the leads being real.


Only the UrbanPro Partnership Program module, where 50% of the tutors receive fake leads, is used to run the business.


Every time a tutor registers on this platform, UrbanPro, students, or parents harass them.


This company does not have a registered office in India, and all of its employees work remotely.


My recommendation to all tutors is to either leave this platform and find a new one or to market yourself as the Best Tutor on social media sites like Linkedin, Instagram, and Facebook, where you will at least get real leads.


@UrbanPro, Please refrain from stealing from the tutors, who share a portion of their hard-earned income.


Fake Commitment = Robbing
Sep 30, 2022 03:51 PM455 Views

This is one of the worst service providers you can come across. I bought a banner space from them and they actually embedded their own URL in the banner. The entire banner holds a URL that if clicked will take a learner to Urban pro profile and everywhere else but, neither the learner will get to see your contact details nor will you get to see his details.


They are just using the banner space to get more user registrations on your cost, Its like stealing the user data in pretext of providing an information that is not being shared, even after the user registers.


The customer service experience was like the worst you will ever have. Neither they can provide you with any reports or Data, nor can they change the banner URLs and as per them refund is not at all possible. They robbed us for like INR 21000.


DO NOT INVEST A PAISA with Them


Disgusting experience as a long term customer
Nov 23, 2021 10:42 AM685 Views

I have been a long-term customer of the Urban Pro Tutor platform. I have even got many students from here previously when this platform was actually meant to connect students and tutors. We paid for coins every time we felt this is helpful. But the recent business tactics they have started with are horrendous. Meant for disrespecting teachers who have been in their domain for nearly 25 years by suspending their account, charging Rs 600 for the first payment, recording classes by breach of privacy. Even teachers are not allowed to mention their identity, what is their past experiences and background. Like seriously, you are charging coins from teachers and then treating them as your puppets! the new policy is horrendous. India, nobody is willing to pay such a huge amount they have mentioned in their policy. If students miss the demo, then also teachers are charged, even though some teachers do not provide demo without a minimal charge. You are also taking that commission.And they are not at all responsible if the students book a demo and cancel at the last moment. It might be a good platform for students but hardly they know what they do with the teacher's hard-earned amount. My account has been suspended because somewhere they have found that I have mentioned my contact information. I am an artist, am I not allowed to let that person know my background by whom she is to be tutored. Students do not want to pay such huge charges. For example, If I am keeping Rs 1200 for each class, then it's fine till the students are paying the direct amount. Because I am putting my efforts. I know that they will charge Rs 600, what I am left with? Only 600 for putting in so much effort. Pathetic platform, teachers, and tutors, please do not get yourself registered here. they will loot your money and your privacy also. You will not be able to take your class freely. They are controlling you!


The worst site for tutors
May 23, 2021 09:32 PM843 Views (via Mobile)

When I first joined UrbanPro, I used to get a lot of enquiries. But most of them would not answer their phone or would say within minutes of posting their requirements that they have already found a tutor. Which is what led me to believe that most of the requests are fake. I wasted a lot of money on this site. And now, UrbanPro has the audacity to charge tutors a flat rate fee of 1200 per student. Registering on this site is a waste of time and money.

Review for Shruthi V for IELTS Training
Sep 14, 2020 10:55 AM1243 Views (via Mobile)

Even though I had an abstract idea about the IELTS exam pattern and its requirements, it was after I took up training from Shruti that I could focus on specific areas that could boost my scores. I was able to score 8, 9, 7.5 and 7.5 (overall band 8) in L, R, W and S, respectively, in IELTS General Training. She insists the trainees to take notes during the classes and to revise them regularly- these inputs are truly handy during your final round of exam preparations. The regular assignments given by her during the course was helpful for me to get used to the exam pattern and thereby to be prepared well for the test. She is an experienced trainer and has developed a number of techniques that can be applied for better scores. Now, if you are enrolling to the course and expecting her to do all the work, without an effort from your side that complements her training, it is high time that you change that mindset. Because, to succeed in an exam of the likes of IELTS, your personal efforts are more important than anything. Just one area of improvement I'd like to suggest is to sort the batches based on English levels of the trainees- this is not a major drawback; however, it could avoid redundancy of certain topics for some students and can help them complete the course sooner. The overall experience of taking up Shruthi’s training was very good, I wish all the best to her and all her students!

They will charge hefty money to connect with students. But the students are not there. Some randomly generated fake profiles are present. So you end up loosing money on some random number.


The whole business idea is a big fraud like famous chit scams.

Review for Shruti (IELTS Tutor)
Jun 03, 2020 09:38 AM1436 Views

"Shruti is a professional, insightful and adaptable tutor to the individual needs. Her passion towards teaching is amazing. It was great experience for me to be polished and enlightened by her. This was my first attempt of IELTS academic where I scored 7.0 band within a short span of time. It wouldn't have happened without the immense guidance of her. I was pleased with the way she simplified the concepts and taught me effectively in an interesting and interactive manner. The assignments that were provided by her on daily basis were really helpful and her assessment on these were highly productive. I highly recommend shruti if you are seeking best tutor with respect to IELTS. "


Review for Shruti V PTE Coaching
May 15, 2020 06:36 PM1491 Views

Review for Shruti V.


I am sharing my own experience with Shurti for PTE coaching. She is very much flexible with her approach for the training based on the person need. I am happy to share that I got 70+ in my first attempt.


Couple of things to clarify to someone who is looking to clear the exam.


Nobody can teach you each and everything, all depends how much efforts you can put in. All you need, guidance to make it through, trust me she is very good in that to make you understand what you need to work on. For instance, you can try out all the possible option on you tube, all will ask you to do PRACTICE and PRACTICE.


She will help you with mock exam and prompt feedback for all your assignment. She did some mock test with me and provided the feedback and that was very helpful.


Secondly, There is nothing so called PTE material, all the practice stuff is available on the internet. Please don't think that she will give you something and you will get the same stuff in your exam. However, she will definitely let you understand the format of exam and that is very important to know. You will get PTE syllabus based training. She will provide you content/link to learn more about how to use connector and other grammar stuff along with vocabulary builder stuff. PLEASE don't expect that she will sit and make you learn one by one, no one is having that much free time.


She is very straight forward and doesn't know any gimmicks to play around with you. I made the complete payment in advance before starting the course and I never regret that. we also need to understand someone is also taking care of their family and its


I had some issue at that time and couldn't come to attend the session and she was kind enough to make sure that I don't miss any of her session and she took few extra session.


I can understand some time we might have feeling that we are paying the money and that mindset will always make us more demanding. However, some time situation could be bad on other side and we should accept that with big smile. if she is not able to full-fill her commitment she will accept it and try to make it any possible way.


Finally, don't rely on one source for you preparation, look around and try to make most out of it. As far I am concern, I had very good experience as she helped me in every possible way I could think of at that time.


Thank you Shruti:).


It's online teaching platform for tutor is a scam.
Oct 03, 2019 08:06 PM2309 Views

UrbanPro.com has been asking tutors to get registered and get leads at Rs. 650/3Month and for every bid they deduct some money. I analyzed their modus operandi on behalf of my friend. My observation: they generate lots of fake inquiry for online teaching to trap tutors and consume their money. They will create an inquiry where the bidder will have to spend their partial money just to show interest. Once you show your interest, you loose part of your money. Thereafter, after repeated follow ups the student will either not turn up or the inquiry gets closed within few minutes. It's a Honey Trap and a Scam. #marketanalysis #businessresearch #UrbanPro


Tutors like Shruthi V abusing UrbanPro
Mar 06, 2019 03:44 PM3086 Views

Tutors like Shruthi V abusing the platform provided by UrbanPro by making false commitments before the fee payment to gain students/clients and misleading them.


Moreover UrbanPro as well helpless in providing resolution.


Here is the detailed review for the tutor - Shruthi Venkatappa(https://urbanpro.com/pune/shruthi-v/7094723)


Dilettante Tutor!


Beware of her Dodgy Marketing!


It’s easy to depict the rosy scenario verbally than to actually implement on the same.


I was looking out for the PTE Academics guide with the core objective to score 79+. Via Urban Pro, I found Shruthi V's profile. On speaking to her on this regards, she beautifully explained how she would take me through the sections in PTE and sharing the study materials. Basis good faith(and regressive follow-ups from her to register with herself), I enrolled with her by paying 100% of the fee at a go.


However, after a few days, it came like a shock to me as I got trapped in her "Marketing Gimmicks".


? Every commitment with respect to the quality of sessions and study materials were "Fallen-Flat".


• During initial couple sessions she was sort of "Okay", wherein(without providing an overall introduction to the PTE-Academics) she began from Read-Aloud and Repeat-Sentence which are easier compared to other sections and question types.


• Almost every time in each of the sessions, I was walked through the portal of ptetutorials.com and one of the other which are commonly available(the first link one gets when you google for sample PTE questions).


• In terms of study material - I was only provided with "2 Blurred Images" for writing connectors along with the mentioned websites.


• In her Marketing Stratagem - I have been told that I would be assessed initially by a mock exam, a basis which she will take the sessions. None of these promises made were delivered and I ended up arranging one mock test myself on a personal basis.


? Casual, Unprofessional and arrogant.


She was so unprincipled with respect to the schedule. As mostly for all the sessions, she used to "Postpone or Cancel with Last minute intimation to me, and even use to Join Late by 15- 20 mins” and wind up basis slot timings. And each time she comes up with some personal reasons to gain sympathy on a humanitarian basis. Which probably depicts how she values her clients and her casual attitude.


? She is a sophist tutor.


• She reasons with clever but false arguments.


• While raising objections, she bounces back everything back on your court one or the other way, a small instance wherein she replied that I(myself) am not ready to accept my errors.


• She is very cunning as being myself located overseas, she knew it would be difficult for me to file a complaint in India. However, as I have put through a formal complaint with in my current location overseas, this will hunt her badly down the line in the near future.


• An example in her recent reviews - posted by Neha on 22 Feb 2019, as she is trying to set the context to cover-up unfair deduction for the ill-doings in my case. I decided to opt out from her services from her on 18th Feb, with just a few worthless, time wasting and casual sessions.


Sharing incomplete information on exam tactics, strategy and scoring patterns had started putting me dilemma. Consequently, I started doing self-paced learning from some webinars from E2 learning available on YouTube. Which was an EYEOPENER to me? And eventually, I decided to get out of the "Cheat".


On asking for a refund, she was so unfair in deducting 40% of the fee amount. Even she does not bother to respond back to the emails and multiple reminders and on escalating the situation to Urban Pro and their intervention, she came with some immature and lame reasons.


Basis my experience with her for PTE-Academics, Definitely her teaching is not worth for a single Penny. I would Highly Recommend staying away from her marketing build-ups and self uprising comments.


For me, it was a Mental, Financial Harassment dealing with such a misleading and fraud tutor.


I don’t think she genuinely holds a #1 for PTE tutor, of which she has so much of arrogance.


P.S. - I have multiple shreds of evidence for the same, for the authenticity of the comments and claims I made. I have attached a few of them under this link. As here I don't have a provision to upload attachments.
