Why should you teach with Sherpa?
Built by a hybrid team of teachers & technologists, we've made a platform that students and tutors love.
Payment Protection
Tutors are often paid late, or not at all. Sherpa holds payment 24 hours before, so you're guaranteed payment.
Cancellation Protection
Tutors are paid 50% for cancellations with less than 12 hours notice. You're paid in full if a student doesn't show up.
Earn More!
Marketing is time-consuming and expensive. You can spend the time you would have spent marketing earning instead.
Human Customer Support
You'll get to know a member of our team as you work with us! You can pick up the phone and talk to a real person, anytime.

Everything you need to run your tutoring business
Let us handle your calendar, lesson scheduling and payments. You just focus on tutoring.

Our Values
What makes Sherpa better? Our team, culture and product are built around our values.
Tutors are at the centre of what we do.
We can build the school, but without the teachers it means nothing. Our tutor recruitment team focuses on on-boarding qualified UK teachers and building strong relationships. Our most recent survey shows that over 43% of our tutors have PGCEs.
We're obsessed with the product.
Iterate. Improve. Refine. We're constantly talking to our students and tutors to find out what they love about Sherpa and what they think could be improved. Our tech team are always looking for ways to improve the online lesson space to surpass face-to-face learning.
We like to keep it fair.
Traditional tuition agencies and existing platforms charge up to 50% platform fees on their
tutors.
Not only does this seem unfair, these charges end up being passed onto students. We're
eliminating waste
and offer the lowest platform fees in the industry for tutors - passing these savings onto
students.
The result? You can get lessons from qualified teachers for a lower rate than you would
be taught by a student elsewhere.
It's a no-brainer!
