Profes
profes.com.br
Brazil’s large private-lessons marketplace.
Profes is a Brazilian private-lessons marketplace, based in São Paulo, that connects students with private tutors across a wide range of subjects for either in-person or online lessons. The company positions itself as one of the largest private-tutoring portals in Brazil.
The platform lets students search for a teacher, schedule lessons, and pay through the site, and it provides an online tutoring tool with a real-time virtual classroom for remote lessons. Teachers register for free, set their own hourly rates, choose where and when they teach, and withdraw their earnings. Profes states it has more than 50,000 registered teachers covering subjects across primary, secondary, and higher education.
Profes operates on a commission model — it deducts a fee from lessons booked through the platform — though the exact percentage is not clearly published. Listed lesson rates start around R$40/hour in some cities, with tutors setting their own prices. It suits Brazilian students wanting a large pool of private tutors online or in person, and teachers looking for a free-to-join channel to find paying students.
