Is it easy to become a tutor?

It's straightforward! In just 5 minutes, you can create and publish your listing. Add a professional photo, clearly describe your skills and experience, and indicate your availability. You decide how to teach: online via webcam, at your place, or at the student's home. One-on-one or small group lessons, it's your choice. From Adelaide to Gold Coast, from Canberra to Newcastle: our platform offers excellent visibility to attract students of all levels, from primary school to Year 12.

Why should you become a tutor?

Tutoring means sharing your passion and knowledge. It's also an excellent way to supplement your income or even make it your main activity. You set your own rates and create your schedule as you like. The best part: Superprof charges no commission on your lessons. You keep 100% of what you earn. Student reviews strengthen your reputation and bring you more enquiries. It's a rewarding experience where every lesson gives you the opportunity to help a student succeed.

Student: Can I become a tutor?

Absolutely! University students are highly sought after as tutors. Your closeness to the curriculum and current exam requirements is a real advantage. You know exactly what's needed for the HSC, VCE, or ATAR.

Take Emma, for example, a Commerce student at UNSW: she tutors Maths and Business Studies for high school students and earns about $400 per month by tutoring 4 hours a week. If you're studying, your knowledge is extremely valuable for younger students preparing for their exams.

Qualified teacher: Can I give private tutoring?

Yes, and it's completely legal. Many qualified teachers already use Superprof to tutor outside their regular school hours.

That's what James does, an English teacher at a high school in Melbourne, who tops up his income with about $600 monthly through private tutoring. You can work as a sole trader with an ABN. Your teaching experience and knowledge of the Australian curriculum are highly valued by families seeking qualified tutors.

Expert in your field: Start with private tutoring

Are you a musician, fitness trainer, software developer, chef, or artist? Your skills attract students eager to learn. You don't need a teaching certificate to share your expertise.

Sarah, a professional pianist from Brisbane, started her lessons on Superprof and found her first students within a week. Offer lessons for all levels and share your passion with enthusiasm.

Example of a tutoring ad

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

"I'm a Maths graduate with a 99.5 ATAR and 4 years of tutoring experience. I help students from Year 7 to Year 12 improve their marks and boost their confidence. My approach: identify gaps, strengthen foundations, and work together with tailored practice. HSC and VCE preparation specialist. Available weekday evenings and Saturdays, in-person in Sydney or online. Working with Children Check verified. First lesson free!"

Add an introductory video and success stories from your students. Will you become the tutor of the year?

What subjects can you teach?

Over 2,000 subjects await you on Superprof! From school subjects like Maths, English, Science, Physics, Chemistry, and languages, to music lessons (piano, guitar, singing), sports, programming, cooking, and creative arts. Online tutoring allows you to teach students anywhere in Australia and beyond. Whatever your talent, there are students looking for exactly what you can do.

What's the legal setup for tutoring?

It's a common question. In Australia, tutors typically work as sole traders. You'll need an ABN (Australian Business Number) if you're tutoring regularly. Income from tutoring must be declared on your tax return, and if you earn over $75,000 per year, you'll need to register for GST. Importantly, you must have a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) in your state to work with minors.

Typical hourly rates for one-on-one tutoring range from $40 to $100 depending on subject and experience. Most tutors offer a free first lesson. You'll also find tutors on platforms like Cluey Learning or Learnmate, but Superprof stands out for charging no commission and offering the widest subject variety.

A unique teaching approach for every student

Every student is different, and that's exactly what makes tutoring so fulfilling. 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 ATAR goals, nail their HSC or VCE, or master a new skill. It's immensely satisfying to see a student make progress thanks to your support.
