Is it easy to give private lessons?

It's incredibly simple. 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 home. Individual or small group sessions — it's entirely up to you. Across Kigali and throughout Rwanda, our platform gives you excellent visibility to attract students of all levels, from primary school through university.

Why become a private tutor?

Becoming a private tutor means sharing your passion and expertise while earning extra income or building a full-time career. You set your own rates and work the hours that suit you. The best part? Superprof takes no commission from 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 achieve their academic goals.

Student: Can I become a tutor?

Absolutely! University students are highly sought after for academic tutoring. Your recent experience with exams is a real advantage. You understand what it takes to succeed in Rwanda's national O-level and A-level examinations run by the Rwanda Education Board (REB). Take Amina, for example, a second-year Computer Science student at the University of Rwanda in Kigali: she tutors S4 and S5 students in Mathematics and ICT, earning around RWF 120,000 a month from just 5 hours of tutoring per week. If you're at university, your knowledge is invaluable for students preparing for their national exams.

Certified teacher: Can I give private lessons?

Yes, and it's perfectly legal. Many certified teachers already use Superprof to teach outside school hours. Jean-Claude, a Physics teacher at a secondary school in Kigali, supplements his income with RWF 150,000 a month through private tutoring. You work as a self-employed individual and should register with the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) and obtain a TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) to declare your income. Your teaching credentials, subject expertise, and knowledge of the REB curriculum are highly valued by parents seeking qualified tutors.

Expert in your field: Start giving private lessons

Are you a musician, fitness coach, software developer, chef, or artist? Your skills attract students who are eager to learn. You don't need a teaching certificate to share your expertise. Claudette, a professional drummer in Kigali, launched her lessons on Superprof and found her first students within a week. Offer lessons at all levels, from beginners to advanced, and share your passion with enthusiasm.

Example of a tutoring ad

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 am a Mathematics and Physics graduate from the University of Rwanda with 3 years of tutoring experience. I help students from Senior 1 to Senior 6 improve their performance and prepare for REB national examinations. My approach: identify gaps, reinforce fundamentals, and practise with past papers. Available weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, in-person in Kigali or online. First lesson free!"

Consider adding a short video introduction and testimonials from your students. Will you be Rwanda's tutor of the year?

What subjects can you teach?

Over 2,000 subjects await you on Superprof! From academic subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, Kinyarwanda, History, and Geography, to music lessons (guitar, drums, traditional Rwandan instruments), sports coaching (football, basketball, fitness), coding, cooking, and creative arts. Online tutoring lets you teach students anywhere in Rwanda and beyond. Whatever your talent, there are students looking for exactly what you can offer.

What legal status for private tutoring?

This is a common question. In Rwanda, private tutors typically work as self-employed individuals. You should register with the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), obtain a TIN, and declare your tutoring income in your annual tax return. Business registration at the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) is straightforward and can be completed online in under 24 hours. Income tax is progressive starting at 0% for income below RWF 360,000 per year. Typical tutoring rates range from RWF 5,000 to RWF 20,000 per hour, depending on the subject, level, and format. Most tutors offer a free first lesson. Superprof stands out with no commission fees and the widest variety of subjects available in Rwanda.

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 improve their grades, pass their REB national examinations, or master a new skill. There's immense satisfaction in watching a student progress and gain confidence through your guidance.
