Nigeria’s leading marketplace for vetted local tutors.

Tuteria is a Nigerian tutoring marketplace, founded in 2015 and based in Lagos, that connects learners with vetted tutors for lessons delivered in person at a preferred location or online. The platform emphasises safety, accountability, and quality, screening tutors before they appear to clients.

Learners browse or request tutors across a very broad catalogue — Tuteria cites around 450 approved subjects across mathematics, sciences, business, languages, music, and computer science, plus international exam prep (IELTS, GRE) and practical skills like coding and photography. Clients can engage tutors through the website or via phone, WhatsApp, and social media. Clients pay upfront, and tutors are paid out after lessons are delivered.

Tuteria takes a commission of roughly 25-35% depending on the tutor’s level: new tutors keep about 65% of the rate they set, rising to as much as 85% as they advance, with the fee deducted automatically before payout. It suits Nigerian learners wanting vetted local or online tutors across academics and skills, and tutors seeking a structured, payment-protected way to find students.
