HomeGuru is a pan-national academic and non-academic platform that brings learners and educators together. Parents and/or learners make choices by reviewing the profiles of approved tutors, and we bring the two of you together. The rest, as they say, is up to the both of you.

Once you have successfully completed the verification process, your profile is made available to all subscribed learners on HomeGuru. They have the flexibility of choosing whom to learn from. If it’s you, we’ll be in touch.

Technology is a thing of beauty, isn’t it? The ease of communications makes both possible. You can plan online sessions with learners from across the country. Literally! However, many parents and/or learners may also look for personalised instruction at home. And if the learner lives in the same city as you, the choice is still yours, depending upon your own circumstances.

A major differentiating factor for us is that we do not conduct classes. We encourage and support one-on-one instruction, or coaching a small group of learners, and leave you to arrange a mutually convenient day and time between yourselves. However, one of our soon-to-be-implemented initiatives is to enable groups of up to 5 learners to sit in a tuition session together, both online and offline, though the latter is completely dependent upon agreement between you, the parents of learners, or the learners themselves.

Registering on HomeGuru is completely free! After the verification process, our profile will be listed on the website. For learners who choose to be coached by you, HomeGuru will do the following:

• At the end of every session, an invoice will be created and sent to the learner
• The session fee will be collected by HomeGuru on your behalf
• A 10% service fee (plus GST) will be deducted from your total earnings in that period
• The net aggregate earnings will be transferred to your nominated bank account

The fees you’ve earned are transferred by parents, or learners themselves to HomeGuru via a number of electronic options, including credit/debit cards, internet banking, payment wallets or UPI services. Tutors receive a statement of sessions completed, or can track it by logging onto the website or mobile app. We transfer the net fee (after deducting our service fee and GST) directly to your bank account on a weekly basis.

We believe in a learner-driven process, and you’re the expert in your subject area. It is your responsibility to prepare the content based upon your conversations with a learner (and/or parent). It may well be that you need to concentrate on just a few subject areas, and not the entire subject in question, so these decisions are best left to you and the learner.

Though both learner & tutor will receive a notification before every session, things do go awry! If you forget to attend a session, the student won’t be charged. If a learner forgets, your fee will be deducted and paid out to you. However, if you’re informed about a learner’s inability to attend a session at least 12 hours prior, the learner will not be charged. The session will be rescheduled by you and the learner via the mobile app or website.
