Yes, below is a statement from Tutor.com about their commitment to accessibility. 

Tutor.com is an equity solution, and we are dedicated to ensuring that all students may access and benefit from the service. Tutor.com follows all ADA guidelines for accessibility and is ADA- and Section 508–compliant.

To accommodate learning for physically challenged learners, we offer an accessible platform with a range of options, including chat and audio tutoring for hearing-impaired users. Sight-challenged learners can use our online classroom, where chat, file-sharing, and other tools are fully keyboard-operable and tab-navigable. The online classroom is also optimized for popular screen readers (e.g., JAWS, Kurzweil, NVDA, etc.), providing text equivalents for all non-text content. It includes all relevant page elements in the tab order so their proper reading sequence may be programmatically determined. The online classroom is further designed with motor disabilities in mind. Because our service is entirely web-based, with no required plugins or downloads, it does not interfere with third-party assistive technology or native OS accessibility functions like mouse keys, sticky keys, filter keys, or toggle keys. In addition to providing an accessible platform, we equip our tutors with specialized instructional techniques for a range of student learning needs.
