Real feedback from our community
“The instructor helped me master the F-15E and A-10C workflows, making it easy to hit targets with precision. Their focus on 9-line briefs and realistic CAS missions was spot-on. Very satisfied with the tailored sessions.”
“The instructor's MSFS expertise in the PMDG 737 is impressive; they helped me master the FMC, approach briefings, and integrating with SimBrief. Their focus on practical IFR and smooth descents was particularly beneficial.”
“The instructor's expertise in PMDG 737 navigation and flight planning significantly eased my cockpit anxiety, making complex procedures like FMC setups and IFR operations much more approachable.”
Modern flight simulators offer incredibly detailed aircraft systems and realistic environments, but mastering them can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the best way to learn is from a real human tutor rather than a video or manual.

The FMC is the most intimidating screen in the cockpit. This guide walks through the actual workflow for setting up a flight in the Boeing 737's CDU — from route entry to performance data — in MSFS and X-Plane.
After booking a session, you and your tutor connect via our built-in video call at the scheduled time. Your tutor watches your screen and guides you through procedures step by step — whether that's programming an FMC, flying an ILS approach, or setting up your aircraft systems. Sessions are typically 30 minutes or longer, and you only pay for the time you actually use.
Anything you're struggling with in your simulator. Popular topics include FMC/MCDU programming, VNAV descent planning, reading approach plates, ILS and RNAV approaches, SimBrief flight planning, cold and dark startup procedures, ATC communication on VATSIM, and aircraft-specific systems like the PMDG 737 or Fenix A320. If you can do it in a flight sim, a tutor can help you learn it faster.
SimTuts supports Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, DCS World, and X-Plane. Our tutors cover everything from airliners and general aviation to combat aircraft and helicopters across all three platforms.
YouTube tutorials are great for general concepts, but they can't see your screen, spot your specific mistakes, or answer your questions in real time. A tutor watches exactly what you're doing and corrects issues on the spot — many students spend weeks stuck on a procedure that a tutor resolves in a single 30-minute session. It's the difference between watching someone else land and having a pilot talk you through it while you fly.
Every tutor sets their own rate, so there are options for every budget. Some community tutors offer free sessions, while others charge for their expertise. All rates are displayed upfront on each tutor's profile before you book — no hidden fees.
You just need your flight simulator, a stable internet connection, and whatever controller you normally fly with — yoke, sidestick, HOTAS, joystick, or even an Xbox controller. No special software is needed — our video call runs in your browser.
Yes. You can cancel anytime before the lesson starts at no cost — you're only charged once the lesson begins. To reschedule, simply cancel and book a new slot that works for both of you.
