For parents and students
The right tutor, safely, at a fair price
UK and African curricula, in one place
GCSE, A level and Entry Level Certificates alongside BECE, WAEC and NECO, taught by tutors who know each syllabus. Ideal for families in the diaspora and for pupils moving between systems.
Specialists in SEND and English as an additional language
Find tutors experienced with special educational needs and with learners new to English. Share your child's needs privately with their tutor when you add them.
Every tutor is checked
Our team checks each tutor's identity, qualifications and background (Enhanced DBS in the UK, police clearance in Nigeria) before they can teach.
Every lesson is recorded
Watch any lesson again for 30 days. Recordings keep everyone safe, and contact details can't be shared on AfriTutor.
More than tutoring
Alongside lessons, our Life Skills & Mentoring helps teens and young adults with confidence, money, careers and more, and supports parents too.
Pay only when a tutor accepts
You pay when you send a request; if the tutor declines or doesn't answer within 24 hours, you're refunded automatically. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Your currency, no subscription
Pay in pounds in the UK or naira in Nigeria. No sign-up fee or subscription, and you can message tutors free before you book.
Only on AfriTutor
Life Skills & Mentoring, as well as tutoring
Most tutoring platforms stop at exam subjects. AfriTutor also helps people with the skills that shape their lives, from checked mentors who've been there, one-to-one or in small groups that cost less per person.
- Teens (13 to 17): study habits and exam skills, confidence and public speaking, online safety, money basics, careers.
- Young adults (16 and over): cvs and interviews, budgeting, university choices, starting a business.
- Parents (for mums, dads and carers): raising teenagers, supporting learning at home, parenting across two cultures.
- Adults (18 and over): marriage and relationships, financial planning, personal growth.
