Tuition FAQ for Parents, Students and Tutors

Getting Started

How do I get a tutor?

Fill in the request form on the front page or message City Home Tutors on WhatsApp. Share the class, subject, city and whether you want a home or online tutor. Suitable options are sent and a demo class is arranged.

What is the demo class?

It is a first lesson with the tutor, so you can see how they teach before you decide. The demo class is free.

How quickly can lessons start?

It depends on the subject and your area. Common subjects in big cities are quicker. Rare subjects may take longer, and City Home Tutors may suggest an online tutor.

Can I change the tutor?

Yes. If the tutor is not right for your child, tell City Home Tutors and another one will be looked for.

Lessons and Tutors

Do tutors come to my home?

Home tutors visit your home in the cities City Home Tutors serves. Share your area so someone nearby can be found. Online lessons are also available across Pakistan.

What do Foundation, Professional and Premium tutors mean?

These are the three tutor categories used here. Foundation means building the base: university students who tutor part time and help with the basics. Professional means teaching is already their profession: they work in a school, college or institute, or are starting a teaching career. Premium means the highest level of experience and training: seasoned teachers, often trained on Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel or AQA courses. The City Home Tutors team places each tutor in a category after reviewing their experience and documents.

Can I ask for a female or a male tutor?

Yes. Mention it in your request and City Home Tutors matches accordingly.

Do you have tutors for Cambridge, Edexcel and Pakistani boards?

Yes. Share the board and the subject code or class so the tutor teaches to the right syllabus.

How many days a week are lessons?

Most families choose three to six days. You decide with the tutor after the demo class.

Do you offer test preparation?

Yes. City Home Tutors has tutors for MDCAT, ECAT, NUST NET, SAT, GRE, GAT, IELTS and more. See the test prep page for the full list.

Online Lessons

How do online lessons work?

Lessons are live, one-to-one over a video call. The tutor shares the screen, notes and past papers. You need a phone, tablet or laptop with internet.

Are online lessons as good as home lessons?

Many students do equally well online, especially for revision and exam preparation. Younger children often do better with a tutor at home.

Fees and Payment

How much does a tutor cost?

It depends on the class, the subject, the tutor's experience and the city. City Home Tutors shares the fee with you before the demo class, so there are no surprises.

Do I pay for the demo class?

No. The demo class is free.

How do I pay the tutor?

You are told how payment works when the lessons are confirmed. Ask on WhatsApp if you have questions before you start.

Safety and Quality

How do you check tutors?

Tutors apply with their qualifications and identity details, and City Home Tutors reviews them in a private chat before they are listed. Meeting the tutor in a demo class is also part of the check.

Is my information safe?

City Home Tutors uses your details only to find you a tutor and to contact you. Read the privacy policy for the details.

What if I have a complaint?

Message City Home Tutors on WhatsApp. Your complaint is listened to, looked into and, if needed, a new tutor is arranged.

For Tutors

How do I become a tutor?

Fill in the tutor application. City Home Tutors reviews your details and, once checked, sends you requests that match your subjects, classes and area.

Do I pay to join?

No. City Home Tutors does not take any registration fee in advance, and no big cut in advance. It keeps 20% of each month's tuition fee. Read the tutor rules for the full terms.

When do tutors get paid?

City Home Tutors does not pay fees in advance. The fee is transferred to the tutor's own bank account after the month ends or the classes end, once the family's fee has reached the company.

Can I choose which classes and subjects I teach?

Yes. You choose them in the application, and you only get requests that fit.
