Questions
Tutoring as an USM student — FAQ
Do I need to be IPG-trained or graduated to tutor as an USM student?
No. This role is built for current USM undergraduates and postgraduates. Strong command of your subject and a reliable schedule matter more than formal teaching credentials.
Can I really fit this around lectures and exams?
Yes. You choose how many students you take and when you teach. Most student tutors teach on weekday evenings or weekends and scale down during exam periods.
Do I teach near the Minden / Gelugor, Pulau Pinang campus or online?
Both. You can teach in person near Minden / Gelugor, Pulau Pinang and the surrounding districts, or online nationwide — whichever fits your week.
How and how much am I paid?
Per hour in MYR on a clear, agreed schedule. The rate depends on the subject, level and your experience.
How do I apply?
Submit the short application form and note that you are a current USM student, along with the subjects and levels you can teach. We review it, run a brief screening, then match you with students.
