For Students & Parents

How do I find a home tutor?▾
The easiest way is to post a free tuition request at /request — tell us the subject, class, area and your phone number. After a quick review it appears on our jobs board, and tutors who are interested contact you directly by phone or WhatsApp. You can also browse tutor profiles by city and subject, and post a request from any profile you like. Or simply message us on WhatsApp and we will help.
Do I need to create an account?▾
No. Students and parents do not need an account, a password or any coins. Just fill in the short request form with your name and phone number.
Is it free for students and parents?▾
Yes — completely free. Posting a tuition request costs nothing, and we never charge parents or students any fee or commission. If anyone claiming to be from lahoretutors.pk asks you for money, it is a scam — please report it to us.
What happens after I post a tuition request?▾
Our team takes a quick look at your request (usually within 24 hours) and then publishes it on the jobs board. Your phone number stays hidden from the public — it is only shown to tutors who choose to unlock your request. Interested tutors will then call or WhatsApp you directly.
Who can see my phone number?▾
Your number is never shown publicly. Only registered tutors who unlock your request (using their own tokens) can see it, so they can contact you about the tuition.
Does lahoretutors.pk verify tutors or students?▾
No. lahoretutors.pk is a directory only. We take a quick look at each profile before it goes live to remove obviously fake or abusive listings, but we do NOT verify anyone's identity, CNIC, qualifications, background or criminal record, and we take no responsibility for anyone's trustworthiness. Before meeting, always check the tutor's CNIC, call their references, keep the first class at home with an adult present, and never pay fees in advance. See our Safety Tips page for more.
How do I agree on fees with a tutor?▾
You agree the fee, timings and payment directly with the tutor — lahoretutors.pk is not part of the arrangement and takes no commission. Most home tutors in Lahore charge roughly PKR 5,000–20,000 per month depending on subject and class. Never pay in advance; pay only after classes have started and you are satisfied.
No tutor has contacted me yet. What should I do?▾
Demand depends on the subject, area and budget, so some requests take longer. You can message us on WhatsApp and we will try to help, or post another request with more detail (for example, adding online classes as an option).
How do I report a fake tutor or a scam?▾
Stop contact immediately, then report it to us on WhatsApp or by email at www.lahoretutors.pk@gmail.com with the tutor ID (e.g. T-0042) and what happened. See our Safety Tips page for details. For crimes, contact the police (15).

For Tutors

How do I register as a tutor?▾
Fill in the registration form at /register. It takes about 5 minutes. You will need to provide your name, phone, email, city, the areas you cover, subjects you teach, and a short bio about your experience. Your profile is reviewed manually and goes live within 24 hours of approval.
What are tokens?▾
Tokens are for tutors only. You use them to unlock student job leads (tuition requests) on the jobs board, which reveals the parent's or student's phone number so you can contact them. Students and parents never pay anything.
How much do token packs cost?▾
There are three token packs: Starter (5 tokens — PKR 400), Standard (12 tokens — PKR 800), and Pro (25 tokens — PKR 1,500). Purchase is done via WhatsApp — message us and we will send you payment details. Once payment is confirmed, tokens are credited to your account within a few hours.
How many tokens does it cost to unlock a student job lead?▾
The token cost for each lead is dynamic — it depends on how many tutors have already unlocked that lead. A fresh lead with no unlocks is free. As more tutors unlock it, the cost rises (1 token for 1–3 unlocks, 2 tokens for 4–6 unlocks, 3 tokens for 7 or more). The cost is always shown clearly before you confirm the unlock, so you will never be charged a surprise amount.
Can I get a refund on tokens?▾
Tokens are non-refundable once spent to unlock a student lead. Unused tokens may be refunded within 7 days of purchase — email www.lahoretutors.pk@gmail.com with your registered email address. Tokens have no cash value.
Do I pay commission on lessons I take?▾
No commission — ever. Once you unlock a student lead and contact them directly, lahoretutors.pk is completely out of the picture. You agree the tutoring fee directly with the student and receive payment directly from them. We earn only from the token pack purchase, not from your sessions.
My profile was not approved — why?▾
Common reasons include: an incomplete or very short bio, unclear subject listing, a phone number that does not appear genuine, or information that looks inconsistent. Email us at www.lahoretutors.pk@gmail.com and we will tell you specifically what to fix so your profile can be approved.
Can I edit my profile after it is approved?▾
Self-service profile editing is not yet available. To update your bio, subjects, areas, or contact details, email us at www.lahoretutors.pk@gmail.com with your registered email and the changes you need. We will update it within 24 hours.
How do students find my profile?▾
Students find tutors through the homepage search bar, city and subject browse pages (/lahore/mathematics, /karachi/physics, etc.), and directly through Google search. A detailed bio with clear subjects and specific areas gives your profile the best chance of appearing in search results and being clicked by students.
Does lahoretutors.pk verify the students or parents who post requests?▾
No. We only remove obviously fake or abusive requests — we do not verify anyone's identity, address or intentions. Before visiting a home, confirm the parent's identity and address, tell someone where you are going, and never pay anyone a registration, placement or security fee. If a request looks suspicious, do not go and report it to us.
