What The Work Actually Is

You run live 1:1 sessions on a shared digital whiteboard. Students bring their own coursework, problem sets and exam preparation, and you work through it with them — deriving and explaining the method live, at a pace they can follow.

MEB provides homework guidance within tutoring sessions. Tutors guide students to understand and solve problems themselves. Tutors do not complete graded work on a student’s behalf. This is not negotiable, and it is the line that has kept MEB running since 2008. Read our academic integrity policy.

What We Look For

Freshers are eligible if subject depth is exceptional. We have hired people still finishing their degrees. We have also turned away people with a decade of experience and shallow concepts.

Genuine Mastery

Not textbook familiarity. Your concepts should hold up under a student’s follow-up question, not just the original one.

Speed With Accuracy

Complex problems solved correctly on the first pass, on demand, while a student watches. Looking things up mid-session does not work.

Strong Background

A degree from IIT, IISc, ISI, NIT or an equivalent top institution in your field — or exceptional demonstrated tutoring experience.

Clear English

Students are almost entirely non-Indian. You need to be understood the first time, every time.

A Working Setup

Reliable laptop, stable broadband, camera, microphone, and a pen tablet for the whiteboard. The pen tablet is not optional.

Punctuality

Sessions and deadlines are fixed. Students in other time zones have arranged their day around you.

Do Not Apply If

  • You need a guaranteed monthly income. This is freelance work — no retainer, no minimum.
  • You cannot work between 5 PM and 9 AM IST.
  • You do not own a pen tablet, and cannot get one.
  • You expect to look up methods mid-session.
  • You want to complete students’ graded assignments for them. That is not what MEB does, and applications suggesting otherwise are declined.

This is not salaried employment. There are no guaranteed hours, no fixed shift, and no minimum work. We would rather say so now than waste your time and ours.

Pay, Work & Selection

The fee is agreed before the work starts. You are free to decline any assignment.

1

Apply

Submit the form at the bottom of this page. Be specific about the subjects you can genuinely handle — and only those.

2

Test & Mock Session

We shortlist on subject depth, background and availability. Then a written subject test, then a short live session on a shared whiteboard with a pen tablet.

3

Onboarding & Work

Work is offered job-by-job as student requests come in, and distributed fairly rather than concentrated on a few. Not getting enough? Add a second subject you genuinely command.

Subjects We Hire Tutors For

Each page below sets out the tutor role for that subject — the topics you would teach, the level students work at, and what we test for. Read the one that matches you before you apply.

“MEB is the only place where we get really good students, and the payment is the best I have had. I work 30-40 hours a month alongside my PhD, and the fee I get for my time is the best so far. It is exactly what MEB promised me. The management is supportive. If you have good knowledge in a subject, this is the place to be.”

Questions From Applicants

Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 per hour, depending on level, complexity, session timing and deadline. There are no guaranteed hours — this is freelance, job-by-job work, so monthly earnings depend on how much work you accept and how many subjects you cover.

No. Work is offered assignment by assignment and you can accept or decline each one. Most demand falls between 5 PM and 9 AM IST, typically one or two nights a week.

Yes. Sessions run on a shared digital whiteboard, and derivations, diagrams and graphs have to be worked live with the student. A mouse does not work for this.

Yes, if your subject depth is exceptional. Several MEB tutors joined while still completing a Masters or PhD. Depth of concept matters more than years of experience.

No. MEB provides homework guidance within tutoring sessions — tutors explain the method and guide students to solve problems themselves. Tutors never complete graded work on a student’s behalf. If that is what you are hoping to do, this is the wrong place.

Yes, and it is the single best way to increase the volume of work you are offered. List every subject you can genuinely handle — but only those you can handle.

No. Global applicants are welcome. Pay is calibrated to India-level costs, so it suits applicants in lower cost-of-living countries better.

It depends on current demand in your subject. We shortlist against what students are actually asking for, so a strong application in a high-demand subject moves quickly. Questions: WhatsApp +91 8971 383660 or email meb@myengineeringbuddy.com.
