 * Is there an option to have a live chat between tutor and student? Something similar
   to Facebook Messenger?

 * Hello [@mrbearps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbearps/),
 * There is Q&A feature that allows students and instructors interact from course
   and lesson pages. There is email notification options for students and instructors.
   Other than these you can use any 3rd party plugin to enable live chat.

 * Do you know of a plugin that integrates with tutor LMS so a chat is made directly
   between the instructor even on his profile or each course?
    I’m not after something
   from members to site admin but student to instructor privately.

 * Hey [@mrbearps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbearps/),
 * We have not tested any live chat plugin with Tutor LMS yet. But from my experience,
   I am suggesting below.
 * Hire a developer if you do not know how to customize PHP and WordPress code. 
   We have [documentation about how to override our files](https://docs.themeum.com/tutor-lms/developers/override-templates/).
   So, follow that and add a new field on instructor dashboard settings to add the
   code for the live chat widget.
 * Then override the lesson and course templates or use a hook from our documentation
   to add the chat widget for the student. If you use the same vendor, then this
   will be really easy.
 * In this way, the chat management feature will be off the site and handled by 
   the instructor on his own.
 * The one inconvenient thing is that the Instructor will have to sign up for the
   chat service on his own and get his own dashboard and access different kinds 
   of data and conversation. As an admin, you can not manage everything for the 
   instructors and signup for a service and use it without a huge amount of custom
   code.
    If you want the chatting system inside your site, then you will need to
   hire a team of developers to implement API level integration with a chat service
   provider. That would be quite expensive.
