No lead fees. You never pay to see a task or to make an offer on one.
The posted budget is the poster’s starting point. Your offer is yours.
The poster’s money is held by Taskly before you start the work.
Charged only when you complete a task. Nothing is deducted for quoting.
Payment releases when the poster confirms, or automatically 3 days after the work is done.
Open tasks are public. Filter by category and area, or let new ones find you.
Say what you would charge and how you would approach it. Quoting is free.
The poster confirms and payment releases — automatically after 3 days if they do not.
Tutoring agencies bill the parent one rate and pay you another, and the difference is often most of it. Here the family posts what their child needs and what they can pay, and you decide whether the subject and the level are yours. Repeat work comes from the family, not from a coordinator reassigning you.
Maths and sciences dominate, then languages, then exam preparation with a deadline attached. Some families want a weekly hour through the term, some want six sessions before a test. Sessions run at the family's home, at a library, or online — the poster says which, and online widens how far you can work.
Ajax began as a wartime factory town. The south end was laid out in the 1940s around a munitions plant, so the streets there are short, the houses small and the lots tight; north of the 401 almost everything is newer than 2000. Its entire lakefront is public parkland, which is unusual on this shore.
Ajax is named after HMS Ajax, and the streets in the older part of town are named after her crew and the ships that fought beside her. The practical half is that those streets were laid out for wartime housing on a tight grid that does not continue north of Kingston Road, so an address in south Ajax rarely sits where the newer grid would put it.
South Ajax is a long run of 1940s and 1950s wartime housing: one storey, small footprint, and now decades of alterations layered on top. Work in those houses is retrofit work — undersized services, low basements, additions built onto additions — and it is nothing like the post-2000 stock five minutes north of the highway.
Ajax is by far the smallest of the Durham lakeshore towns by area. Pickering and Whitby are each more than twice its size and both run far north of the 401 into land that is still fields, while Ajax is compact and built out. Two bookings on the same day here are usually ten minutes apart, which is not something either neighbour can offer.
Tasks come from Pickering Village, South Ajax, Central Ajax, Audley, Nottingham and Lakeside. You set the area you travel to, so you only see the ones you would actually take.
Questions
The ones people in this trade actually ask before they sign up.
Taskly is new in the GTA. Fewer Taskers means your offer actually gets read instead of sitting behind two hundred others — and the people here first will hold the first reviews.
Every word of that is true, and it is the argument no big platform can copy.
