Is it easy to give private lessons?

It's incredibly straightforward. In just 5 minutes, you can create your tutor profile and publish it. Add a professional photo, write a clear description of your skills and experience, and set your availability. You choose how you teach: online via video call, at your home, or at the student's place. Individual or small group sessions, it's entirely up to you. From Metro Manila to cities like Cebu and Davao, our platform gives you excellent visibility to attract students of all levels.

Why become a private tutor?

Becoming a private tutor means sharing your passion and expertise while earning extra income, or even making it your main career. You set your own rates and work the hours that suit you. The best part? Superprof takes no commission on your lessons. You keep 100% of what you earn. Reviews from your students build your reputation and bring in more enquiries. It's a rewarding experience where every lesson is an opportunity to help someone grow and succeed.

Can students become tutors?

Absolutely! University students are highly sought after for academic tutoring. Your recent experience with exams and coursework is a real advantage. You understand what it takes to succeed in the K-12 curriculum, including Senior High School subjects and university entrance exams. Take Ana, for example, a biology student at the University of the Philippines. She tutors high school students and earns around ₱8,000 a month from just a few hours of tutoring per week. If you're at university, your knowledge is valuable to younger students preparing for their studies.

I’m a licensed teacher. Can I give private lessons?

Yes, and it's perfectly legal. Many licensed teachers in the Philippines already use Superprof to teach outside school hours. For example, Mark, a high school maths teacher in Quezon City, supplements his income with around ₱10,000 a month through private tutoring. Most tutors work as freelancers, managing their own schedules and income. Your teaching license, classroom experience, and knowledge of the local curriculum are highly valued by parents.

Are you an expert in your field? Start giving private lessons

Are you a fitness coach, musician, software developer, chef, or artist? Your skills attract students who are eager to learn. You don't need a formal teaching certificate to share your expertise. Carla, a yoga instructor in Cebu, launched her classes on Superprof and found her first students within days. Offer lessons at all levels and share your passion with enthusiasm.

Example of a tutoring advert

A well-written profile makes all the difference. Introduce yourself with your background and qualifications. Explain your teaching approach and what makes you stand out. State your availability and teaching formats (online, in-person, at the student's home). Add a professional photo that builds trust.

"I'm a mathematics graduate with 3 years of tutoring experience, helping students from junior high to senior high school. My approach focuses on building strong foundations, then progressing with practice questions tailored to each student's level. I'm available weekday evenings and weekends, online or in-person in Metro Manila. First lesson free to see if we're a good fit!"

Consider adding a video introduction and examples of student successes. Will you be tutor of the year?

What subjects can you teach?

Over 2,000 subjects await you on Superprof! From academic subjects like maths, English, science, and Filipino, to music lessons (piano, guitar, singing), sports coaching (basketball, fitness training), languages, coding, cooking, and creative arts. Online tutoring lets you teach students anywhere in the Philippines and beyond. Whatever your talent, there are students looking for exactly what you can offer.

What legal status do you need for private tutoring?

This is a common question. In the Philippines, most private tutors work as freelancers or self-employed individuals. You can declare your income through the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) if needed. While formal registration depends on your income level, many tutors start informally and scale up as they gain more students. Having credentials or certifications can boost your profile, but they are not always required. Typical tutoring rates range from ₱250 to ₱1,000 per hour depending on the subject, level, and your experience.

A unique teaching approach for every student

Every student is different, and that's what makes tutoring so rewarding. As a private tutor, you build a trusting relationship with your students. You adapt your pace and methods to their individual needs. You help them achieve their academic goals, pass exams, or develop new skills. There's immense satisfaction in watching a student progress and gain confidence through your guidance.
