About Superprof
Superprof is a private tutoring platform that connects learners with tutors across the UK and internationally. Its community includes university students, graduates, teachers, professionals, coaches, artists and people with specialist knowledge or practical skills.
Tutors can offer lessons in more than 1,000 subjects, covering academic topics, languages, music, sport, creative interests and professional skills. The platform gives tutors control over their availability, fees and teaching approach, while helping their profiles reach potential students.
The Role
As a Student Online Tutor, you’ll support learners who want to improve their knowledge, confidence or ability in a particular subject. You’ll create a free tutor profile, select the subjects you can teach and explain your experience and approach to prospective students.
You can organise lessons around your existing commitments and decide whether to teach remotely, from your home or at a student’s location. You’ll also set your own rates and choose how frequently you want to tutor.
Typical responsibilities include:

Company Culture
Superprof is centred on sharing knowledge and making learning accessible to a wide range of people. Tutors work independently and retain control over how they organise and deliver their lessons.
The platform welcomes tutors from different educational and professional backgrounds, recognising that academic qualifications are not the only source of valuable knowledge. Tutors can also access personalised member support if they need help using the platform or managing their profile.
