Since August 2013, the objectives of the startup Superprof, which specializes in home tutoring, are clearly defined:
- Connecting committed teachers with motivated students,
- Advocate for the sharing of knowledge and the transmission of knowledge,
- To allow as many people as possible to learn and progress.
Every day, the Superteam is working on the platform and its features to make it even better. Our society has definitely taken a turn towards new technologies, and requirements have evolved in this direction: the speed of a service must not be at the expense of its performance and efficiency.
The same applies to private lessons.
When you decide to take lessons to improve your skills in a subject, whether it's tutoring or music lessons, it's normal to want to start teaching as soon as possible. But this learning must also be of quality.
Choosing Superprof to take private lessons means choosing a startup that has understood the challenges of the 21st century placing its customers at the center of all its commitments.
Student Progress at the Centre of Objectives for Superprof
The results of the 2018 edition of the PISA study for the OECD, which assesses the level of students and the education system of member countries, has somewhat shaken the UK.
Indeed, our country is ranked 18th in math, far behind Poland, Denmark and Japan. It is in mathematics and science courses that young people of the UK have the most difficulty at school.
This somewhat alarming fact partly explains why the home tutoring market is constantly growing in UK, making the country the European leader in the field.
For students in a situation of academic failure, for those who want to increase their average scores and for parents who feel powerless, Superprof offers a real complement to the teaching provided by their school system. It has been a major priority since the birth of Superprof in 2013.
Before embarking on the Superprof adventure, the founders made an observation that clearly identified two main players in the school coaching market in France, the country where the company was founded:
- Historical tutoring organizations, where you cannot choose your own home tutor and are often considered expensive,
- Classified ads for private lessons online and in local shops that do not allow you to check the teacher's actual skills.
Superprof wanted to be a real alternative, by offering a solution that combines the freedom to choose a teacher from among many offers and the security of being able to be assured of his or her qualifications.
This ensures that everyone can find private lessons tailored to their needs.
But private tutoring is not only oriented towards academic coaching. To meet the expectations of those who want to discover a discipline for fun, the Superprof team offers more than 1,000 very varied subjects:
- French as a foreign language courses,
- Chinese language courses,
- Arabic courses,
- English courses,
- Spanish courses,
- Portuguese courses,
- Italian language courses,
- History and geography course,
- Mathematics courses,
- Physics and chemistry courses,
- Guitar lessons,
- Violin lessons;
- Singing lessons,
- Drum lessons,
- Bass lessons,
- Piano lessons,
- Drawing course,
- Painting course,
- Photography course,
- Computer graphics course,
- Statistics course,
- Boxing class,
- Cooking classes,
- Yoga classes,
- Courses for children in primary school
- Dance classes...
And many more!
The variety of the offer, the freedom of use and the assurance of finding a suitable teacher explains why today, more than 170,000 students have chosen Superprof for their private lessons.
Satisfaction and Motivation of Superprof Teachers
Without the unfailing commitment of the teachers, the Superprof platform would not exist. It is important for the team to make it easy for them to use the platform and to work tirelessly to keep them motivated.
A tutor who wants to register on Superprof to give private lessons does not pay. Yes, registration is free for teachers. This is a fundamental part of Superprof's approach, which allows anyone to teach at home with ease, regardless of their income level.
Some tutoring organizations require a minimum of three years of higher education to become a tutor and charge a registration fee. They also get a commission on the price of the private lesson.
Superprof's approach is different:
- Registration is free for teachers. We also offer them a paying service to put forward their ad if they wish, without any obligation to buy
- No commission is taken on the lessons given. Payment is made directly between teacher and student,
- Anyone can register on Superprof if they have skills to share: no diploma level required.
This last point is important, because it implies that self-taught people can also give lessons, as well as students who have not yet validated their diploma for example or teachers with a discipline that does not necessarily require a academic diploma (such as dance lessons).
The free registration of our teachers is not at the expense of the support we offer them. Each teacher receives advice on how to complete their profile and the customer service team is always available to answer any questions.
Would you like to become a teacher and help a student improve their skills with Superprof?

- Save time in finding students,
- Choose the price of your lessons yourself,
- Benefit from a responsive customer service and better visibility.
More than 60,000 students search every day on Superprof: your future students are bound to be there!
A Verified Review System of Our Students
On the Internet, it can sometimes be difficult to be sure of the veracity of the opinions.
Some platforms offer the possibility to those who are not registered to post reviews, without really knowing if this review is justified or not. Thus, ill-intentioned people can damage the image of a teacher or the company itself can pay people to write false positive reviews.
On Superprof, only students who have received private lessons can leave a review of their teacher.
This allows:
- Future students and parents can discover the pedagogy and methodology of their potential teacher and thus be reassured,
- It's a good way for teachers to offer quality teaching and get feedback on their work. It's a good way to move up in the search results.
Because teachers are graded by their students, they must be punctual, attentive and adopt an effective pedagogical approach if they wish to find new students.
A regular and serious homework tutor will have a much better chance of getting positive reviews.
Superprof and the Superalgorithm teams verify the identity and qualifications of teachers for optimal safety for parents and students. Verified reviews complete this process of verifying a teacher's pedagogical and methodological approach.
Whether you are looking for French lessons, history-geography lessons, English lessons, Spanish lessons or sports lessons, you can browse all the teachers' ads near you for free.
By reading the descriptions of the teachers, discovering their background and motivation and completing this search by reading the opinions of former students, you will certainly find the right teacher for you.
Students' Opinions of Their Teachers
It is very important to reassure new students who are looking for a teacher and to allow the tutor to be better placed in the search results. You will not only be able to share your own opinion of a teacher but you will also be able to browse through the many different opinions of other teachers.
Online reviews are an important process of selecting a tutor. Whether you're interested in academics or sports, knowing the pros and cons of each tutor's class can really help students pick the perfect tutor at their preferred price point.
Tutors can also benefit from online student reviews. Tutors can also check out their colleagues to see what qualities other students seek in a tutor. They can also use it to set the price for their private tuition.
With a community of over 17 million tutors in 2021 alone, you can learn anything from cooking special cultural recipes to learning how to finally reach those high note's you've always wanted to reach.
Did you know that as of 2021, there are over 1 million 5-star reviews on the platform? Here are just a few the many five star reviews you can find on Superprof:
