Frequently asked questions

TutorHabesha is a tutoring marketplace for Ethiopia. Students and parents compare verified tutors by subject, price in birr/hour, and reviews — then book online or in-person lessons, starting with a free 15-minute trial call.

Search your subject, compare trusted tutors, book a free 15-minute trial lesson, and start learning online or in person. You pay through the platform, and the tutor is paid after each completed lesson.

Every tutor submits a government ID and proof of knowledge — a degree, teaching certificate, or portfolio. An admin reviews each application, and only approved tutors appear publicly, with a Verified Tutor, Skilled Tutor (5+ students), or Habesha Certified (10+ students) badge.

Most TutorHabesha tutors charge between 260 and 900 birr per hour, depending on subject, level, and experience. Every tutor's exact price is shown upfront — no surprises — and the first 15-minute intro call is free.
