Private Tutor with Superprof

Superprof – Earn some extra as a private tutor while you’re busy with your studies
It is no surprise to anyone that student life brings financial challenges. Many students choose to take a part-time side job alongside their studies, often as a hospitality worker, store assistant, delivery driver or something else along those lines. It’s nice to earn some extra cash, but many part-time jobs are not nearly as practical, especially when we talk about the schedules involved.

An educational platform that connects private tutors with students
Superprof is an educational platform that connects private teachers with students in every possible subject area. People who want to play the piano can turn into dedicated pianists. Those who want to travel to Latin America can get private Spanish lessons from an expert in this language. Above all, we connect civil engineers, physicists and math experts with students of all ages who want to sharpen their skills. Superprof is a great place for students looking for a side job and eager to share their knowledge with people who need it. Superprof attracts people from all backgrounds, ages and categories. This can include people who want to get better at sports, dancing, playing instruments, as well as college students who need tutoring and homework help for certain school subjects.

Then you will soon get in touch with interested students who are looking for private tutoring in your subject area. See who is interested and who you would like to teach. Plan together at what location and times the private lessons should take place. Some people like to take one lesson a week, others several days a week. Of course, this depends on your personal schedule. As a private tutor, you manage your own free time and can decide when you will and will not work. The times you tutor, do not conflict with your study hours, which is often the case with other part-time jobs. You control the amount of hours you work, the schedule you work on and how many students you teach. There is no better way to efficiently combine your work with your studies and ultimately worry less about your personal finances.

You can teach one-on-one lessons with us, or online if you are open to it.

Help students learn a sport, language, instrument, dance, math, biology, Dutch or other subjects. Teach the theory of your expertise, or just the practice, or both to your students. At Superprof, we can always use new experts in any field. Start as a private tutor at Superprof today!

– 100% available according to the needs of the course coordinator (you cannot follow a course in the same timeslot yourself!)

Expressing your interest by submitting the TA recruitment form does not guarantee a TA position. Final selection of assistants is up to the course coordinators, and they will contact you.
Please remember, MBLS is an English-taught bachelor, so ALL the communication should be in English, even when you’re having a coffee break with the students 😉
