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 Maseru and throughout Lesotho, 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 and coursework is a real advantage. You understand what it takes to succeed in the LGCSE (Lesotho General Certificate of Secondary Education) and the JC (Junior Certificate) examinations. Take Tsebo, for example, a second-year Mathematics student at the National University of Lesotho in Roma: he tutors Form C and Form D students in Mathematics and Physical Science, earning around LSL 2,500 a month from just 5 hours of tutoring per week. If you're at university, your knowledge is invaluable for younger students preparing for their LGCSE.

Certified teacher: Can I give private lessons?

Yes, and it's perfectly legal. Many certified teachers already use Superprof to teach outside school hours. Nthabiseng, an English teacher at a secondary school in Maseru, supplements her income with LSL 3,000 a month through private tutoring. You work as a self-employed individual and should register with the Lesotho Revenue Authority (LRA) to declare your tutoring income. Your teaching credentials, subject expertise, and knowledge of the national 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. Lebo, a professional guitarist in Maseru, launched his lessons on Superprof and found his 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 Science graduate from the National University of Lesotho with 3 years of tutoring experience. I help students from Form A through LGCSE level improve their grades and prepare for national examinations. My approach: identify gaps, reinforce fundamentals, and practise with past papers. Available weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, in-person in Maseru or online. First lesson free!"

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

What subjects can you teach?

Over 2,000 subjects await you on Superprof! From academic subjects like Mathematics, English, Sesotho, Physical Science, Biology, History, and Geography, to music lessons (guitar, piano, singing), sports coaching (football, athletics, fitness), coding, cooking, and creative arts. Online tutoring lets you teach students anywhere in Lesotho and the wider region. 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 Lesotho, private tutors typically work as self-employed individuals. You should register with the Lesotho Revenue Authority (LRA) and declare your tutoring income in your annual tax return. The Lesotho Loti (LSL) is pegged 1:1 to the South African Rand, making financial planning straightforward. Income tax in Lesotho is progressive, starting at 20% above the tax-free threshold. Typical tutoring rates range from LSL 100 to LSL 400 per hour, depending on the subject, level, and location. Most tutors offer a free first lesson. Superprof stands out with no commission fees and the widest variety of subjects available in Lesotho.

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 LGCSE, or master a new skill. There's immense satisfaction in watching a student progress and gain confidence through your guidance.
