Superprof is a tutoring marketplace where people can offer lessons in subjects they know well. Tutors can teach online or meet students in person, depending on the subject and location.
The platform covers far more than school subjects. You can offer lessons in languages, music, fitness, sports, business, academic subjects, arts, and many other skills.
You create your own tutor profile and set your availability and rates. Students can find your profile, contact you, and arrange lessons based on your schedule. Superprof says tutors are independent and can decide how they run their tutoring business.
There are two main ways to handle payment. You can arrange payment directly with your student, or use Superprof’s online payment system.
If you use Superprof’s online payment system without its Premium option, a 10% fee applies. The lesson payment appears in your balance 24 hours after the lesson, then Superprof transfers the balance to PayPal within three working days once you have at least $30.
Using direct payment gives you more control because you and the student agree on the payment method. Superprof lists options such as PayPal and other third-party payment services for tutors who choose to handle payments outside the platform.
Your earning potential depends on the rate you set and how many students you attract. Superprof does not set a standard hourly wage for tutors.
There is one point new tutors should understand. Superprof’s current US guidance says new tutors normally need to offer their first class free until they qualify for Super Tutor status, unless they use its Premium Tutoring option.
Superprof can work well for someone who already has a useful skill and wants another place to find students. A strong profile, clear subject offer, good photo, and student reviews can help you stand out.
The platform has a large international tutor base, but the exact setup, fees, and payment rules can differ between Superprof’s country sites.
