Our pledge
No fake reviews. A founder who answers.
We'd rather show you nothing than show you a made-up review. Until our first learners say it themselves, here is what we actually do.
Every chum is ID-checked against the issuing authority before going live.
A real human reviews every listing.
After every lesson, your chum logs what was covered — you see it in your dashboard.
“If your chum doesn't measure up, I want to know. I read every review.”
Featured lessons — priced by subject. Free meet-and-greet first.
Meet some chums.
Real chums, real prices. Every lesson starts with a free 15-minute hello.

Are the tutors verified? Is my child safe?
Every chum is NIN-verified and ID-checked against the issuing authority before going live, and a real human reviews every listing. You can sit in on any lesson, and your chum logs progress after every one. Start with a free meet-and-greet and judge them yourself.
How do I know a chum is actually qualified?
Profiles show what we've verified — ID, qualifications they claim, real learner reviews. The free 15-minute meet-and-greet lets you test the teaching before you pay a kobo.
How much do lessons cost?
Chums set their own rates per subject — lessons start from ₦1,000/hr. You pay per lesson, in naira, via BudPay — no subscription. The meet-and-greet is always free.
What if my chum isn't the right fit?
Switch anytime, free — your next meet-and-greet is on us. Finding the right person sometimes takes two tries; that's a feature, not a failure.
Can my child take lessons at any time?
Yes — chums set their own availability, so you can book mornings, evenings, weekends, even during JAMB crunch time. Browse chums and filter by schedule.
What is a “chum” anyway?
A chum is a tutor who teaches like a friend — patient, available, on your side. Every chum on TutorChum is verified and reviewed.
Free 15-minute meet-and-greet
A chum for every chapter.
No card needed to browse. Pay per lesson only when you've found the right one.
