For Tutors
How Tutor Pay Works
A clear picture of how earning with Sifututor works. Every job request in the app shows its exact expected pay before you apply.
The structure
- Pay is calculated per hour, based on the level you teach and whether the class is online or in person. Depending on level, mode, and tier, hourly rates range from RM9 up to RM84.
- For long-term requests, you earn a starter rate for your first 8 hours with that student, then a higher rate from hour 9 onward. Teaching more with the same student increases your rate.
- Short-term requests (under 3 months) use one flat rate throughout, in between the two long-term tiers.
How the "first 8 hours" threshold works
The 8-hour threshold is tracked per student, cumulatively, for as long as you teach that student. It does not reset every month. Once your total verified hours with a particular student pass 8, every class after that is paid at the higher rate, for as long as that request continues. If a single class crosses the 8-hour mark partway through, that class is split, with part paid at the lower rate and part at the higher rate.
Bonuses
- A one-time milestone bonus once you cross your first block of cumulative verified teaching hours.
- Ongoing monthly bonuses for tutors who hit monthly teaching-hour targets.
Payment timing
Payouts cover the previous month’s verified sessions and are released in two batches: tutors who clock attendance automatically in the app are paid first, typically within the first half of the month, and tutors using manual attendance confirmation are paid shortly after. You’ll receive a payout slip summarising your verified sessions and earnings every month.
Commitment fee
A one-time RM100 commitment fee applies after your first confirmed class. It is fully refundable, returned when you resign with one month’s notice and complete offboarding.
