Love teaching? Sign up as a Tutor or Trainer

Indians are very focused in educational achievements and to a great extent even obsessed about marks and grades. A student's mettle is often judged by the marks he scores in an exam. So more than 80% of the Indian parents consider private tuition as essential for their child's education. They are ready to pay up to Rs. 4,000/month for their children. The tuition boom can also be seen as a failure of the Indian educational system, which have failed to provide quality education in the classroom. Due to bigger class size, it has become almost impossible for teachers to give individual attention to students in a classroom environment.

An individual with expertise in a particular subject or domain with passion for teaching can register themselves as a Tutor or Trainer on online education platforms like UrbanPro.com and share their knowledge about a subject and earn an extra income. They can offer their tutoring services without coming in the way of their regular work.

Are you a professional? Share your specialized knowledge

The world has become more dynamic and competitive like never before. Gone are the days when learning was considered as limited to students only. Now students, professionals and people from every walk of life alike are becoming a part of the learning community, to acquire new knowledge, building expertise and brush up their skills, to stay relevant and excel in their academic or professional field.

Millions of students, professionals even businessmen are in search for top-notched tutors or trainers who can help them achieve their personal goals. Any professional can tap into this huge opportunity by sharing his specialised knowledge (education or non-educational categories like Dance & Music, Yoga, Art & Craft classes) and expertise, thus adding an additional income to their regular pay check.
