What Is Superprof?

Superprof is a global tutoring platform that ranks among the top tutoring platforms in the US and worldwide. Superprof offers the most comprehensive platform for students of all ages to learn online or in person, as well as for professionals across all sectors to offer their tutoring services; with a presence in more than 80 countries, you'll find:

🧑🏼‍🏫 Engaged tutors from all over the world

👨🏾‍🔬 A wide repertoire of subjects with great option, whether online or for face-to-face lessons

💻 A platform where students' progress is constantly monitored, resulting in unique effectiveness

There was a gap in the market that we were able to fill, thanks to technological advances that made online lesson search and delivery more effective. When we got started, in 2013, tutoring (and Superprof) was mainly an academic pursuit. School students were struggling under their academic load, and Superprof tutors were available to help them succeed in the classroom.

How Does Superprof Work for Students?

Are you ready to take your grades to the next level or test out a new hobby? In just a few quick minutes you can set up your Superprof account and start learning with one of our expert tutors today!

Creating an Account

If a student wishes to connect with a Superprof tutor, they must set up an account (it's free). When they set up their account, they are notified of Superprof's terms and services as a subscription platform that provides access to millions of tutors worldwide.

The step-by-step process to create an account at Superprof as a student and book a lesson in a few minutes is:

Step 1

Click on "Log In" at the top right of our main website (Superprof.com), and you'll see the "Sign up" link at the bottom of the pop-up window

Step 2

Create your account from your email address, your Facebook account, or your Google account. Depending on the method used to create your account, you'll be asked to enter your First and Last Name

Step 3

Choose a password

Step 4

Go to your profile and add your city in "My Account"

Step 5

Start your search

Finding and Contacting Tutors

The most effective way to use your Superprof subscription is to take your time carefully combing through Superprof tutor profiles until you have three to five profiles that match what you are looking for.

While academic tutoring remains popular, Superprof offers tutors in a diverse range of subjects and skills. There's something for everyone from arts and crafts to cooking, music, professional development, and even sports and fitness.

  • Arts and Crafts: You can learn about painting, drawing, sewing, knitting, sculpture, crochet, etc.
  • Cooking: Tutors can teach you how to cook or prepare specific cuisines. You can also learn more about nutrition and eating healthily.
  • Music: Private tutors have long been the best option for learning music theory or learning how to play a musical instrument like the piano, guitar, or drums.
  • Professional Development: On Superprof, you can find a tutor to help you with your career. Whether this is through upskilling in your current job or life coaching to help you change careers, a tutor could help!
  • Sport and Fitness: While you wouldn't call somebody teaching sport and fitness a tutor, you can train with a sport or fitness coach through the Superprof website.

These are just a few examples of the areas where tutors on Superprof can help.

Understanding the Student Pass

We provide a service committed to serving both tutors and students. The Superprof student pass subscription is the payment fee to access and contact a tutor, and it is $49 per month.

credit_card
How the Superprof Subscription Works

We are a subscription service that charges students a monthly fee for as long as the pass remains active.

Once you initiate contact, your subscription goes live, and Superprof will withdraw your monthly fee from the payment method you provided when you started your subscription.

Once you connect with the right Superprof tutor for your needs, you may agree to take your partnership off the Superprof platform by cancelling your subscription. You will still have access to your Superprof account and your tutor - and still be responsible for paying their fee, but you won't be charged for your subscription anymore.

Arranging Lessons and Payments

As a student on Superprof, once your lesson request is accepted, you can message the tutor on our site or use your preferred method (messaging, phone, or email) to arrange your lesson.

For the payment of your lessons, you have two options available: private offline payment, using a method agreed upon between you and your tutor (cash, check, bank transfer, etc.) and online payment via the Superprof lesson booking system.

While your Student Pass is active you can book the first lesson through our system too and use the online payment system; the tutor will receive a notification once you've sent this information.

  • Propose a lesson
  • Offer up to three availabilities (the tutor will select only one if available)
  • Choose the date, time, and location of the lesson
  • Choose the method of payment

If the tutor is not available, they can suggest new dates. It will then be your turn to accept their proposal. You and your tutor can also decline proposals if you cannot find an arrangement.

To learn exactly how it all works, book a pack of lessons, edit or cancel a lesson, or check what the subscription rates are in your area, check out our full description of payments and charges on Superprof.

Superprof for Tutors

Suppose you have the right skills and want to teach students or clients. How exactly does the Superprof website work for tutors?

As a tutor on the Superprof website, you don't work for Superprof. Instead, Superprof provides a platform and website where tutors and students can find one another. A tutor, teacher, or coach advertises their service through their online profile on the platform. Students looking for a particular subject or skill can search on the platform for face-to-face or online tutoring.

Setting Up a Tutor Profile

Superprof provides a platform for tutors to advertise their tutoring services and arrange lessons with the best students. Creating their profile is free, and you can upload up to 5 ads. Superprof has a member support team ready to help you with anything from setting up your profile to giving advice on how to set up your business and teaching schedule.

How much does it cost to create my profile?

There is no subscription fee required for any tutor. Having your own page, uploading your video, receiving all your reviews, plus full customer support for any questions you may have about becoming a tutor or improving your ad, is completely FREE.

Managing Lessons Requests

With Superprof, private tutors can manage their requests and receive feedback freely. Tutors' contact information is never sent to students, except when the teacher accepts a lesson request. The process to connect with students goes as follows:

Accept or decline them according to your availability. There is no penalty for declining a request, and you can modify schedules and propose new dates to the student.
You can even choose your own cancellation policy to minimize the impact of cancellations on your schedule.
Feedback goes both ways: Not only can the student leave a review for the tutor, but the tutor can also leave one for the student.

What Kind of Tutoring Can You Offer?

Tutors on the Superprof website are entirely in control of their service. Superprof is the platform where they can advertise and showcase their service. You can choose what subject you teach and how you teach it.

How many subjects are there on Superprof?
1,001

You can teach over 1,001 different subjects on Superprof!

Typically, tutors will offer face-to-face tutoring and/or online tutoring. They can offer these to individuals or groups.

You know how to teach your subject, but academic subjects usually translate better to online tutoring than practical or hands-on subjects. Still, we've seen many talented tutors teach almost anything you can imagine online.

Payment Structure and Earnings

As a tutor, you can get paid through Superprof. There are two options: Off-platform payment (together with the student, you can choose the payment method that suits you best) and online payment (through our fully secure payment platform). PayPal is currently the only method that is supported for receiving payments via Superprof US).

Once you accept the lesson request and 24 hours after the lesson takes place, the lesson fees will be visible on your Superprof balance
Unlike most tutoring outlets, Superprof tutors are not employed by Superprof. Any tutor who builds a profile on our platform is in business for themself; all we provide is a way for tutors to advertise their services. It costs nothing for tutors to publish their profiles and for students to review them.
Tutoring for all ages

Some web-based tutoring companies treat their tutors like any other brick-and-mortar company: directing their every effort, instructing them on what to do, and how many hours to work. With Superprof, your money is your own, as is your time. And you get to pick the students you feel you can best serve, all while providing the support they need.

How Can I Make My Superprof Tutor Profile Stand Out?

The best profiles on Superprof are those that are most transparent, enriched by reviews from students the tutors had before joining, as well as those from new students they gain through the platform. Here are some tips to help your profile inspire more confidence:

TipAdvice
👩🏼‍🏫 The quality of the photoAdd a front-facing photo with a white background and a smile; the quality of the photo is something students notice in the first three seconds of their search, so it's incredibly important.
🎥 Add a videoAdd a video where you explain the basic concepts of your class in detail. This way, at first glance, the student will know if their expectations are likely to align with what you teach.
📝 Free lessonOffer a free 20-30 minute lesson. This will establish the foundation of your relationship, allowing you to understand each other's goals and common ground. The free lesson is an invaluable element for tutors in the long run, as students won't just request another lesson —they'll be willing to invest in a package of lessons with the person who took the time to get to know them. Discover with your pupil how Superprof works together.
🥇 Reviews and RecommendationsAdd as many reviews and recommendations as you can. When you complete your profile ask former colleagues and past students to send you a recommendation; once you complete your first lesson, ask the student for a review, both will add up points to your profile. These testimonials are the foundation that supports Superprof and its community.

Superprof's Business Model: How Does Superprof Make Money?

Our business model gives tutors maximum flexibility and allows students to choose the best teachers for more than 1,001 subjects on a single platform.

In short, what Superprof does for tutors is vastly different from that of a standard tutoring outfit: teachers can set up their profiles for free and upload a limited number of ads; those who wish can subscribe to the Premium Pass for a fee, which gives their ads higher visibility.

Our business model also includes a Student Pass subscription, which allows students to message tutors for the duration of the subscription. This fee is not tied to an individual tutor's rates, and the payment is fully processed only after a tutor accepts the initial lesson request.

It's difficult for a business to distribute equal benefits to every facet of its business, but by providing tutors and students with maximum flexibility in their choices, Superprof manages to strike that balance.

Benefits of Private Tutoring in the ChatGPT Era

Even with the advent of artificial intelligence and the various learning models it can offer, Superprof remains an essential tool in the learning journey—the human side for a student seeking personalized guidance that cannot be found in a group class or that everyday life - due to time or flexibility - does not allow.

Artificial Intelligence helps teachers plan their lessons, make them more interactive by creating video or audio materials almost instantly, and find new ways to approach students. 

From the learner's perspective, it can enrich the learning experience by comparing different sources, getting precise answers, and gaining new insights on the same topics, all in a single result.

devices
Students and teachers using ChatGPT

Both are increasingly using ChatGPT, but the connection between them, the debate, the accuracy or inaccuracy of a concept, and especially the development of critical thinking skills are what a Superprof class helps to clarify, particularly in an academic lesson.

As a student, having a private tutor for academic purposes can help from the beginning of the school year to not fall behind; letting tutoring lessons run to the last minute will decrease effectiveness in passing any subject successfully, as the time the student has to adjust to the tutor, set goals and work gets considerably reduced. 

For students looking to increase their chances of gaining admission to the most prestigious institutions, Superprof is the perfect way to pave the way and secure new, better opportunities for their future.
