How to find a tutor in South Africa (2026)
Hire a maths, language, or homework tutor at home or online. What to check, rates signals, and how AuPairly tutoring listings work for host families.
Define the subject and level
Be specific: Foundation Phase reading, Grade 9 maths, matric science, or conversational English. Clear briefs attract the right tutors.
Say whether you need in-person, online, or hybrid — and which evenings work.
Check qualifications and fit
Look for study status, qualifications, and a 1-minute intro video. On AuPairly, tutors list under Tutoring alongside childcare if they also babysit.
Ask for a short trial lesson before a long commitment.
FAQ
- Can one person offer tutoring and childcare?
- Yes. Sitters can enable multiple services on one profile — e.g. childcare + tutoring after school.
