What is an Edutara tutor?

An Edutara tutor teaches one learner at a time, at the learner's home or online. That learner might be a school student in any class from 1 to 12, someone preparing for an entrance exam, a college student, or an adult learning spoken English or a skill for work. You choose what you teach and where you travel, each class offer states its rate before you accept, and Edutara pays you for every lesson you teach. Edutara finds the learners who need exactly what you teach and handles the billing.

  • Free to join, with no charge per lead
  • Paid by Edutara for every lesson, at the rate on the class offer
  • Lessons at the learner's home, online, or both
  • Your choice of subjects, classes, boards, exams and area
  • Paid for every lesson, from the first one with each new learner

Your pay

How tutors are paid

Edutara pays you for every lesson you teach. Each class offer states its rate before you accept it, so you know the figure before the first lesson.

The rate comes with the offer

Every class Edutara offers you names its rate per lesson, along with the days and the place, and you accept only what suits you.

Edutara pays you

You log each lesson, the learner confirms it, and Edutara pays you for it. Learners pay Edutara, so you never collect money at the door.

Nothing to pay in

There is no joining fee and no charge for being matched with a learner.

What each class offer tells you

  • The rate for each lesson
  • The class, the subject and the board
  • The days, the timings and the place

FAQ

Questions tutors ask

About joining, pay, and who can apply.

Joining Edutara is free, and it stays free. There is no registration fee, no deposit and no charge per lead. Learners pay Edutara for their lessons, and Edutara pays you for the lessons you teach.

Edutara pays you for every lesson you teach and log, once the learner confirms it. The learner pays Edutara, so you never ask anyone for money, and a tutor who takes money from a learner loses the class.

Each class Edutara offers you states its rate per lesson before you accept it, so you know what a class pays before you say yes. The more classes you take on, the more you earn.

Teachers currently working at a school cannot. Section 28 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 bars teachers in schools from giving private tuition, so the application asks you to confirm that you do not teach at a school. Retired teachers and teachers outside the school system are welcome to apply.

Yes. If you are in college and know your subjects well, you can apply to teach school students, help with entrance exam preparation, or support learners in your own field.

College students and graduates without a B.Ed are welcome to apply. What matters most is knowing your subject well and explaining it in a way the learner can follow.

Yes, either works. You choose home tuition, online tuition or both when you set up your tutor account after applying, and Edutara looks for learners who want what you chose.

Whatever you know well. Edutara serves school students from Class 1 to Class 12 on CBSE, ICSE / ISC and state boards, students preparing for JEE, NEET-UG, CUET-UG and state CETs, college students, and adults learning spoken English, IELTS, other languages or skills for work.

Yes. You add the localities you can travel to for home tuition once you set up your tutor account, and Edutara looks for learners in those areas. Online tuition involves no travel, so your area matters much less.

You receive an email with the next steps. Every application is reviewed before an applicant is matched with a learner.

It is a regular, paid lesson. You see where the learner stands, the learner sees how you explain, and the lessons carry on while the match works. When a learner needs a different tutor, Edutara arranges it.
