At Teach Me 2, we take pride in being a high-touch, hands-on service and provide a personalised experience for each tutor and client. Being an international tutoring company, we have many overhead costs: advertising and marketing, personnel costs, operational costs etc. due to our commitment to surprisingly good service!

Our customer rates and tutor pay are carefully calculated to balance these factors so that we continue to thrive.

Tutor rates are automatically set and vary between R155-R195 per hour (sometimes more or less) depending on the level and subject).

TUTOR RATE INCREASES:

-After your first 25 hours of tutoring, your lesson rate will see a 3% increase.

-After your first 50 hours of tutoring, your lesson rate will see another 3% increase.

Please remember that this increase can only be actioned once the lessons taught have been moved from the provisionally confirmed state to the confirmed state (both tutor and client have confirmed them). Please note this process takes 8 days and will not be increased immediately after your 25th or 50th lesson.

To claim this increase, reach out to the Support Team and chat with them about the jobs that you are active on when you reach the above milestones to inform them of the change needed.

Closing thoughts:

Each time we set a customer up with some tutoring support, they are required to pay us upfront before any lessons commence. The customers pay us, and then we pay our tutors every month. We have a team of Support Managers who facilitate this process so that you don't have to talk money with your customers.

In a nutshell, your rates are not open to negotiation. We don't deny that you could earn more working as a private tutor, and that option is still available to you to supplement your income.

We want you to feel valued. We exist to find jobs for you and handle most of the administration associated with getting paid, so you can focus on what you do best- tutoring!
