How to hire a tutoring pro in Philippines
- Ask whether the tutor is a LET passer (licensed professional teacher) — not required for tutoring, but a meaningful credential worth a premium
- Request an NBI clearance, the standard Philippine background document
- Match the tutor to the DepEd K-12 curriculum, or your school's stream for private/international schools
- Run a paid trial lesson and take references from other parents
- Compare in-person with online — the Philippines has a deep online-tutoring workforce and rates are competitive
- Agree payment per session or small blocks; avoid large prepayments
Tutoring is unregulated in the Philippines, but many tutors are LET-licensed professional teachers (PRC-registered) — a real credential worth asking about. NBI clearance is the standard background check for anyone working in your home.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fair cancellation policy for tutoring?
24 hours' notice with one free reschedule per month is standard. Be wary of tutors or agencies that charge full price for illness with notice, or demand a full term's fees up front with no refund clause.
Which subjects cost the most to tutor?
Maths, sciences and specialist exam prep command premiums because demand outstrips qualified supply. University-level, competitive-entrance and standardized-test coaching sit at the top of every market's range; primary reading and homework help sit at the bottom.
Should a tutor set homework between sessions?
Yes — 20-40 minutes of targeted practice between weekly sessions roughly doubles the value of each paid hour. A tutor who never sets or reviews independent work is selling you company, not progress.
How do I check a tutor is safe to work with my child?
Ask for the background check standard in your country, take references from at least one current family, sit in on the first lesson, and hold sessions in a common area of your home rather than a closed room. Reputable tutors expect all of this.
Should I use a tutoring agency or find an independent tutor?
Agencies vet tutors, handle replacements and mediate disputes, but add commission — often built into a higher hourly rate. Independents are cheaper and more flexible; you do the vetting. Many families start via an agency, then stay long-term with a tutor they trust.
What does tutoring cost in the Philippines?
Typical one-on-one rates run PHP 200-500/hr for students and general tutors, and PHP 400-900/hr for licensed teachers or entrance-exam specialists (UPCAT/ACET prep sits at the top). Provincial rates fall below Metro Manila.
Is a LET-passer tutor worth the premium in the Philippines?
For struggling students and exam preparation, usually yes — licensed teachers know DepEd assessment style and classroom pacing. For homework support and enrichment, a strong college student at half the rate is fine.
