The common conception of a student is someone attending university or kids in school, but anybody can be a student, and you never stop learning. You can learn more than just the subjects taught at school or university, which is why we welcome tutors for all kinds of subjects, academic or otherwise. So what lessons and courses are the tutors on our platform offering? Let's take a look at the types of learning support our tutors offer in-person and online!
Academic Subjects
Naturally, when we started Superprof nearly a decade ago in France, our primary focus was on tutoring and courses for academic subjects to help full-time students at school or university. Initially, the goal was just to help students with their homework, but within a year, we'd grown into the largest online tutoring platform in the country. Soon, there were over 100,000 tutors on the platform, and it was decided that we could start exploring tutoring in other countries as well.
offering thousands of subjects and skills.
We always wanted to make sure that the platform was simple, and keeping things simple is at the heart of what we do. At its core, the business is an online platform for qualified tutors to find students and this means that a lot of school subjects are offered. This includes foundational education, such as reading, writing, and mathematics, but it also extends to science, history, geography, and any other subject offered at school.
Academic tutoring on Superprof goes far beyond homework help. Tutors provide personalised lessons that adapt to a student’s learning style, helping them build confidence in core subjects like maths, English, and science. With thousands of verified tutors worldwide, learners can access flexible lessons that cater to their schedules and learning needs.
General Education
School is about more than just the subjects you study, though. You also learn how to become an effective student through study techniques, project planning, and how to work in groups or on your own.
That said, it isn't always easy, and for those with learning disabilities, dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, etc., things are much more difficult. Generally, these students with special educational needs (SEN) may need to explore other teaching approaches, specialised courses, or get additional help and support from a private tutor.
This isn't to say that a private tutor is the only thing that SEN students need, but it can certainly help and could be a useful part of a bigger educational strategy for them. You'll be surprised at how much Superprofs can help any kind of student.
Languages
Superprof is an online tutoring community with a presence in over 60 different countries so naturally, we understand and appreciate the value of learning foreign languages.
countries around the world.
Aside from the official languages (English and Māori, which are both extremely popular in their own right) in New Zealand. There is a lot of interest in international languages like Spanish, French, and Japanese, but we also have tutors offering sessions and courses in almost any language you can think of. Some of the popular languages offered by tutors on Superprof include:
Regardless of your level, you can study a foreign language with Superprof. You can follow a structured language course with your tutor or schedule a chat in your target language each week. As you can search for tutors all over the world, you can explore languages you may never have considered learning and study them with the help and support of a native speaker.
One of the most significant advantages of Superprof is direct access to native-speaking tutors. This means students don’t just learn grammar and vocabulary, but also cultural context, pronunciation, and everyday conversation skills. From English to Japanese, you can connect with teachers around the world to practice in real time, something a classroom can rarely offer.
Sports, Health, and Fitness
It's always a good idea to live a healthy life, and with Superprof, you can get personal training, sports coaching, and even diet and nutrition courses. Perhaps you're interested in trying Zumba or would like to bulk up through weightlifting. You can also work with a private tutor to train to run a marathon or improve your level in whatever sport you like to do.
You can also work with a tutor to lead a healthier life through what you eat. You can find tutors who are nutrition experts to help you plan your diet and eat more healthily.
Unlike generic workout videos or apps, Superprof’s sports and fitness tutors design programmes tailored to your goals, whether that’s strength training, yoga, or nutrition planning. You can train online for flexibility or in person for hands-on support, making it easier to stay motivated and reach your targets.
While you can't learn everything with online tutoring, you'd be surprised at just how much you can do with coaches over a video call. That said, you can always work with your tutors or coaches face-to-face, too. If you're ready to start, learn about Superprof's payment and charges.

Studying Music or Playing a Musical Instrument
Studying music or learning a musical instrument has always been something that works better with private tuition. After all, it's hard to teach a classroom of 20 students how to play the guitar at the same time, since aside from the awful noise it would make, none of the students would really be able to hear if they were doing it right.
Both in-person or online, there are plenty of music tutors on Superprof available to teach music theory, a musical instrument, or a combination of both. You can start learning how to play the guitar, piano, drums, trumpet, or saxophone today. There are also tutors for less common instruments, too, like the didgeridoo, tabla drums, and the erhu. Whether you dream of playing an instrument in an orchestra or are just learning for fun, a private music tutor can help you improve your level with training and tuition that's tailored to you.
Information Technology
Tech plays a big part in the modern world, and whether you're looking for a new job or want to stay relevant in your current job, it's often recommended that you keep up with technology.
For many, this technology is usually related to computers, and IT skills are essential for lots of different workers. You might be interested in completing training on how to use Google or email more effectively or want to study more advanced topics like digital media editing, social media management, content marketing, or even computer programming.
There are tutors available to help you navigate the digital world and develop the necessary skills to be an active part of it. Conversely, if you're a tutor looking to teach these kinds of things, find out how Superprof works for tutors.

There are tutors providing support for NCEA levels 1, 2, and 3, as well as international exams like IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, GMAT, and Cambridge English certificates. Many tutors have experience teaching or even marking exams, so they know what examiners are looking for.

From NCEA levels 1–3 in New Zealand to international qualifications like IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT, tutors can help students build confidence, manage time effectively, and improve results.
Professional and Personal Development
While many IT skills are helpful in many careers, there are also plenty of other ways that tutors can help you perform better at your job, become more employable, or plan and manage your career. You might be vying for a promotion and need to tune up some of the essential skills for the job, work on your own time management, or even get better at public speaking. There are tutors and coaches for all of these skills and more.
Then there are the skills you can develop for times when you're not at work. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness can help you enjoy and appreciate life more, which can also naturally help you while you're at work.
There are also transferable skills that can benefit you in both your everyday life and at work, such as listening skills, creative thinking, problem-solving, and situational analysis.
