So, how does Superprof work, what can students and tutors expect from the platform, and how do the Student Pass, tutor profiles and lesson fees fit together? Let’s look at the essentials.
The Subjects Available on Superprof
Private tutoring is by no means a novel concept; indeed, for millennia, that's how people were educated. Aside from schools catering to specific groups - the religious and the wealthy, anyone else seeking to know how to read, write and do arithmetic either learned from their parents or masters, they were apprenticed to or they hired a private tutor.
Education as we know it today, with schools, teachers loyal to the facility they work in and a set curriculum, is less than 200 years old - and the concept hasn't changed much. Tutoring, on the other hand, has evolved dramatically.
Today's tutors, including Superprof tutors, work with students to master academic subjects, from core ones like maths and science to elective subjects such as languages and art. But Superprof tutors go further than academic subjects alone.
A Student Pass at Superprof allows you to:
Reinforce your learning in any subject outside everyday lessons
Improve your level to become more confident and develop your critical thinking skills to a top level
Develop new skills in areas like art, sports or leisure
Benefits of Private Tutoring in the ChatGPT era
Even with the advent of artificial intelligence and the various learning models it can offer, Superprof remains an essential tool in the learning journey—providing the human side that students seeking personalised guidance cannot find in a group class or fit into their everyday schedule.
Artificial Intelligence helps teachers plan their lessons, make them more interactive by creating video or audio materials almost instantly, and find new ways to approach students.
From the learner's perspective, it can help enrich the learning experience by comparing different sources, getting precise answers, and gaining new insights on the same topics, all in one result.
However, AI cannot replace the judgement, encouragement and personalised guidance of a good tutor. A private tutor can notice where a student is struggling, adjust the lesson in real time, explain mistakes, ask follow-up questions and help the learner build confidence.
Both are increasingly using ChatGPT, but the connection between them, the debate, the accuracy or inaccuracy of a concept, and especially the development of critical thinking skills are what a Superprof tutor helps to clarify, particularly in an academic subject.
As a student, having a private tutor for academic purposes can help from the beginning of the school year to not fall behind; leaving tutoring lessons until the last minute will decrease effectiveness on passing any subject successfully as the time the student has to adjust to the tutor, set goals and work gets considerably reduced.
For students looking to access the most prestigious institutions, Superprof is the perfect way to open doors and increase their chances to secure new and better opportunities for their future.

Superprof for Tutors
Unlike most tutoring outlets, Superprof tutors are not employed by Superprof. Any tutor who builds a profile on our platform is in business for themself; all we provide is a way for tutors to advertise their services.
There is no subscription fee required for any tutor. Having your own page, uploading your video, receiving all your reviews, plus full customer support for any questions you may have about becoming a tutor or improving your ad, is completely free.
For tutors looking to maximise their visibility on the platform, the Premium Pass is available at €69 per year.
Our business model allows tutors maximum flexibility; they can set their rates and determine for themselves how many hours they are comfortable working. They may also select which students they accept; the platform does not decide how tutors run their lessons.
Beyond providing a space for them to advertise their tutoring business, Superprof provides a safe space for you to arrange lessons with committed students.
Furthermore, Superprof has a member support team ready to help you with anything from setting up your profile to giving advice on how to set up your business and teaching schedule.
Besides that, Superprof publishes a blog that includes topics relevant to current educational trends, as well as current interest topics that may tie in with tutors' areas of speciality.
With Superprof, your schedule is your own. You get to pick the students you feel you could best serve, and all of this while providing needed support.
In short, what Superprof does for tutors is vastly different from the standard tutoring outfit.
How to Succeed as a Tutor on the Superprof Platform?
The best profiles on Superprof are those that are transparent, enriched by reviews from students the tutors had before joining as well as from new students gained through the platform.
With Superprof, private tutors have the opportunity to:
✍️ Manage your requests freely
Accept or decline them according to your availability. There is no penalty for declining a request, and you can modify schedules and propose new dates to the student. You can even choose your own cancellation policy to minimise the impact of cancellations on your schedule.
⭐ Receive feedback
Not only can the student leave a review for the tutor, but the tutor also has the opportunity to write one for the student.
Here are some tips to help your profile inspire more confidence:
| Tip | Advice |
|---|---|
| 👨🏻🏫 The quality of the photo | Add a front-facing photo with a white background and a smile; the quality of the photo is something students notice in the first three seconds of their search, so it’s incredibly important. |
| 🎥Add a video | Add a video where you explain the basic concepts of your class in detail. This way, at first glance, the student will know if their expectations are likely to align with what you teach. |
| 📝Free lesson | Offer a free 20-30 minute lesson. This will establish the foundation of your relationship, allowing you to understand each other’s goals and common ground. The free lesson is an invaluable element for tutors in the long run, as students won’t just request another lesson—they’ll be willing to invest in a package of lessons with the person who took the time to get to know them. Discover with your pupil how Superprof works together. |
| 🥇Reviews and Recommendations | Add as many reviews and recommendations as you can. When you complete your profile ask former colleagues and past students to send you a recommendation; once you complete your first lesson, ask the student for a review, both will add up points to your profile. These testimonials are the foundation that supports Superprof and its community. |
Superprof for Students
It's difficult for any business to offer equal benefits to all parties they serve but Superprof has managed to strike that balance. Besides all that we offer to Superprof tutors, students enjoy substantial advantages, too.
Historically speaking, tutoring was a home-grown affair. Tutors would wander across the land, offering their services - often for room and board and maybe a few coins, to any homestead they came across.
As civilizations coalesced into population centers, tutors had a slightly easier time of things; they could set up shop in their rooms and let students come to them.
Eventually, that concept morphed into the commercial tutoring centres we're all familiar with today. Still, regardless of which tutoring concept, for the student, it was all the same: their choice of tutors was limited to what was available in their immediate area.
LISTEN TO: The History of Education
But then, technological advancements brought about an expansion of tutor availability.
As webcams delivered sharper images, microphones and headphones transmitted/received crisper, clearer messages and video chat platforms became ubiquitous - and, most importantly, free of charge, learning with a tutor from another part of the world was not only possible, it became mainstream.
That is one of the main benefits Superprof offers students. They can learn Spanish, English or Italian from native speakers across Europe, study ancient Egyptian history with a history teacher in Egypt and take haute cuisine lessons from a Superprof chef in France — all without leaving Malta.

Superprof provides students with access to a vast network of tutors from around the world. Tutors are encouraged to include their qualifications and experience on their profile, giving you the information you need to make the right choice. With detailed profiles and student reviews available, finding the right tutor in Malta has never been easier.
Perhaps one of the greatest aspects is that you choose your tutor; Superprof does not assign you the tutor they think is best for you.
Superprofs
You may choose a local Superprof who can deliver in-person lessons or opt for online lessons. You can select a Superprof with high-level credentials and years of experience in their field or someone who's just a year or two ahead of you - a great option for students preparing to sit exams.
It's difficult for a business to distribute equal benefits to every facet of its business but, by providing tutors and students with maximum flexibility in their choices, Superprof manages to strike that balance.
But don't draw any conclusions from just this snippet, find out all that Superprof has to offer students.

Superprof’s Student Pass and Superprof’s Subscription: What’s the Difference?
Browsing tutor profiles and reading reviews on Superprof is completely free. To contact a tutor directly, students will need to set up an account and activate a Student Pass. During the sign-up process, you will be clearly notified of Superprof's terms and conditions as a subscription platform.
Students can explore different subjects, compare hourly rates and see which tutors offer online or face-to-face lessons before deciding who to contact.
We offer a subscription service that charges students a monthly fee for as long as they continue contacting tutors.
To contact tutors directly, students need a Student Pass. In Malta, the Student Pass costs €9 per month. This gives students access to contact tutors through the platform, but it does not include the tutor’s lesson fees.
The most effective way to use your Student Pass is to take your time browsing tutor profiles. We recommend shortlisting three to five tutors whose experience, teaching style and rates best match your needs before making contact.
Once you find the right tutor and decide to continue lessons directly, you can cancel your Student Pass at any time. You will still have access to your tutor and will continue to pay their lesson fees, but you will no longer be charged the monthly subscription fee.
YOUR STUDENT PASS
€ 9
