Online tutor jobs in India

What qualifications do I need for online tutor jobs in India?

For school subjects, a graduate degree in the subject plus the ability to teach it clearly is usually enough. For Class 11–12, JEE or NEET, students expect subject specialisation and a track record. You don't need a B.Ed to start. We do not verify qualifications or run background checks — your profile is what students judge you on, so fill it in properly.

How much can I earn as an online tutor?

You set your own hourly rate — there is no fixed pay band here. School-level online tuition commonly sits in the ₹300–₹800/hour range, with senior secondary and exam coaching above that. We take no share of your ongoing fees — from month two, everything the family pays is yours.

Does TuitionsInIndia take a cut of my fee?

Only in month one, and only on one path. When a family on Family Pro calls or WhatsApps you, you pay us nothing. When a family chooses you through our earlier ₹999 "we recommend 3" service (or a match we make by hand), you pay a one-time placement fee of half (50%) of your first month's fees for that student, at most ₹5,000. It is refunded in full if the family stops within 14 days. When you contact a family who posted for free, there is no placement fee — your Pro plan is the only cost. For eligible older requirements posted before 4 October 2026, 8:00 am IST, the earlier booking terms still apply: when a family books you through the site, you pay us no fee, the family pays our booking fee of 50% of month one up to ₹5,000, and you charge that family 50% less for month one. We take no share of your ongoing fees — from month two, everything the family pays is yours. Listing your profile is free.

How do I actually get students?

Families find your profile in search and contact you — that is free. On requirements from families who posted for free, any tutor can tap "I'm interested" — free tutors on up to 3 requirements a day, Pro tutors with no daily limit. At most 8 tutors can show interest in each family. No numbers are shared when you tap it. If the family accepts you, get Tutor Pro to see their number and call them — the acceptance stays open for 3 days. Pro ₹999 a month: see the number of each family who accepts you and call them (each acceptance stays open for 3 days), and call or WhatsApp families who posted for free and agreed, at most 5 tutors per family (fair use: 5 a day), in one level and up to 5 subjects from your profile — plus no daily limit on "I'm interested". Families who post for free can choose, requirement by requirement, to be called or WhatsApped by tutors on Pro about it (it's off unless the family ticks a box for that requirement, so there may be none in your area). On those requirements you press "Contact this family" and get their number. Up to 5 tutors can do this on each requirement; after that it shows "Full". You have one profile, and Pro covers one level from it (Classes 1–10, Classes 11–12 and entrance exams, College or Skills and hobbies) and up to 5 of its subjects, which you choose. You can change them once every 30 days. Either way, a complete profile and a clear rate matter — photo, qualifications, subjects, boards and what you charge. We do not verify any of it, so what you write is what a family judges you on.

Can I teach online from a small town?

Yes — that's the point of online work. Your location doesn't limit who you can teach, so tutors outside the metros can reach students in Mumbai, Delhi or anywhere else in India.
