Find a tutor near you
Home and online tuition across CBC, 8-4-4, IGCSE, university subjects and skills.
Also called home tuition, private teacher, CBC tutor or exam prep.
The most useful tutoring posts name the curriculum, the grade and the specific problem. "Maths help" attracts everyone; "Grade 7 CBC, struggling with fractions and losing confidence" attracts the right person.
Kenya runs several curricula side by side, and they are not interchangeable. Say whether it is CBC, 8-4-4, IGCSE, IB or a university course, because a tutor strong in one may not know the other's syllabus or how it is assessed.
Say whether you want the tutor at your home or online. Online opens up tutors anywhere in the country, which matters a great deal for specialist subjects.

- What specifically is difficult, and what the school has said
- How many sessions a week, and how long each one should be
- At home or online
- Whether there is an exam date to work towards
What moves the price
Why two quotes for the same job differ
- Level — university and exam-year tuition costs more than primary support
- Session length and how many a week
- Travel to your home, against online
- One-to-one against a small group
- Specialist subjects where few tutors are available
Help24 does not publish price ranges for tutoring. Quotes come from the tutors themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.
Before work starts
What to check with a tutor
- Ask about qualifications and experience with that specific curriculum
- For a tutor coming to your home to teach a child, check identification and be present for the first sessions
- Agree a trial period — a few sessions before committing to a term
- Ask how they will report progress to you

Nearby tutors send offers
Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.
Agree the price first
Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.
Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done
Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
