Become a tutor
Share your passion

If you have knowledge worth sharing, why keep it to yourself? Join more than 20 million tutors around the world and start giving private tuition on Superprof, across 2,000+ subjects. Whether you're a university student, a working professional or simply an expert in something you love, becoming a private tutor in Mauritius has never been simpler. Set your own rate, teach at home or online, and keep 100% of what you earn. ✨

Is it easy to give private tuition?

Yes, and it takes about five minutes to get started. You create your profile, add a clear photo, describe what you teach and set your availability. That's it. From Port Louis to Curepipe, Quatre Bornes to Vacoas-Phoenix, students and parents can then find you and get in touch directly. You decide how you teach: one-on-one or in small groups, at the student's home, at your place, or online by video for families anywhere on the island. No paperwork marathon, no gatekeeping. Just you, your subject and a profile that puts you in front of the people looking for exactly what you offer.

Why give private tuition?

Because it pays, and it means something. Tuition is a normal part of school life in Mauritius, so demand is steady and the people who find you actually want to learn. You set your own rate and keep every rupee, because Superprof takes no commission on your lessons. You teach on your schedule, around your studies or your job. And the reviews your students leave build a reputation that brings in more requests over time. Share what you know, help someone reach their SC or HSC goal, and earn while you do it. Not a bad way to spend a few evenings a week.

Student: Can I give private tuition?

Absolutely. Students are some of the most sought-after tutors on the island. If you're strong in maths, physics or French, learners preparing for SC (Cambridge O-Level) or HSC (Cambridge A-Level) would love your help. You sat those same exams recently, which makes you relatable and current. Take Priya, an engineering student in Quatre Bornes: she teaches SC maths online three evenings a week, sets her rate around Rs 500 an hour and covers a good chunk of her expenses. Homework help, exam revision, a tricky topic before a test: it all counts. You don't need a diploma to start, just a subject you know well and the patience to explain it.

Teacher or graduate: Can I give private tuition?

Yes, and as an independent tutor it's a natural fit. Plenty of qualified educators on Superprof teach outside the classroom, on their own terms, matched with students who chose them. The one rule that matters in Mauritius: you tutor students who are not your own school's pupils. That independence is exactly what parents look for, since many actively want a tutor who isn't their child's own teacher. Yannick, an independent physics tutor near Curepipe, coaches HSC students for the October to November Cambridge exams, online and at home, at around Rs 550 an hour. You can teach several levels, from lower secondary up to A-Level, and shape each session around what the student actually needs.

Expert in your field? Start giving lessons

You don't have to be a schoolteacher to teach. Musicians, accountants, coaches, language speakers, IT professionals: if you're good at something, someone wants to learn it. Sandrine, a pianist in Beau Bassin-Rose Hill, teaches beginners and exam candidates online and keeps her evenings full. ACCA-qualified? Adults training for their papers are a real audience. Your experience is your credential here, and students come quickly when your profile shows what you've actually done. Pick your levels, set your pace, and turn a skill you already have into lessons people will pay for.

What does a good tuition ad look like?

The best ads are simple and honest. Introduce yourself and your background. Explain how you teach: your method, your approach to exam prep, and how you keep a student on track. Say when you're available and whether you teach online, at home or both. Add a warm, clear photo. Something like:

"Independent maths tutor, 4 years' experience with SC and HSC students. Cambridge exam-focused, patient and structured. Lessons online or at home in the Curepipe area. First lesson free, let's see how I can help."

Add a short video, a couple of student reviews or a concrete result, and you stand out instantly. Will you be next year's most-booked tutor?

What subjects can you teach?

More than 2,000 subjects, so the real question is what you love. Maths, physics, chemistry, English and French are the backbone of SC and HSC tuition and the most in demand. But it doesn't stop at school subjects: ACCA and accounting for adults, heritage languages like Hindi, Urdu, Tamil or Mandarin, piano, violin, singing, coding, or French for expats settling on the island. Teaching online means you can reach a student in Port Louis or Mahébourg without leaving your living room. Whatever the level, from a nervous beginner to an HSC candidate chasing top marks, there's someone who needs exactly what you teach.

What legal status do you need to give private tuition?

It's a fair question, and the answer is straightforward. As a self-employed tutor you register for a Business Registration Number (BRN), and tax obligations only kick in at higher earnings thresholds, so most part-time tutors have very little admin. There's no school-tuition tax relief for families to worry about, and no commission from us. You'll find other options out there: recorded-lesson sites like OnlineTuition.mu, marketplaces like Apprentus, or the many Facebook tuition groups. Superprof gives you a proper profile, verified reviews and transparent pricing, and lets you keep 100% of your rate. Most tutors offer a free first lesson to build trust. One thing to keep clear of: you tutor independently, never your own school's students.

A unique teaching approach for every student

No two learners are the same, and that's the best part of tutoring. You adapt to each student's pace, spot where they're stuck and build the confidence a crowded classroom often can't. Over a few weeks you're not just teaching a subject, you're building trust, and often watching a shy student turn into a confident one. That relationship is what turns good marks into real progress.

In short: Give private tuition, simply

Four steps, that's all:

1. Create and publish your ad
2. Chat with the students who reach out
3. Arrange your sessions, online or at home
4. Share what you know

Whether you want extra income, exam-season demand or just the joy of teaching, Superprof puts you in front of the people looking for you. So, ready to turn what you know into your next opportunity?
