What kind of
supervisor are you?

Requirements

What we look
for in supervisors.

We have minimum requirements — and things that give you an edge. Be honest in your application.

Required
Second Class Upper (2:1) minimum

BSc, HND, or equivalent. Postgraduate degrees (MSc, PhD) are strongly preferred for research and senior roles.

Required
Strong written & spoken English

You must be able to explain complex academic concepts clearly — both in writing and in live chat. Our students are relying on you.

Required
Responsiveness & reliability

You must respond to student messages within 24 hours and meet deadlines. Students are on tight submission timelines — your reliability is critical.

Required
At least one declared field of expertise

You must specify which departments and project levels you can handle. We match students to supervisors based on your declared specialisations.

Required
Patience and student-first mindset

Many of our students are anxious, stressed, and confused. You must be patient, empathetic, and focused on building their understanding — not just delivering output.

Strong advantage
Teaching or mentoring experience

Lecturers, tutors, and mentors who have guided students through academic challenges before will adapt faster and earn higher ratings.

Strong advantage
SPSS, R, or data analysis skills

Supervisors who can run statistical analysis and interpret results are in very high demand, especially for MSc and PhD projects.

Strong advantage
Programming or technical background

Python, Java, PHP, web development, database design, networking — technical supervisors are among our highest-rated and most requested.

FAQ

Questions about
joining as a supervisor.

How much can I earn per project? +
Earnings are set per project based on complexity and academic level. Standard undergraduate and HND projects pay $50–$80. BSc final year and complex technical projects pay $80–$100. MSc dissertations and PhD-level work pay $100–$200. Your rate also increases as your supervisor rating grows and as you unlock bonus tiers at 10, 25, and 50 projects completed.
How many projects will I receive per month? +
It depends on your specialisation and availability. Most active supervisors handle 3–8 projects per month. You are never obligated to accept every assignment — you can accept or decline based on your schedule.
When and how am I paid? +
Payment is processed within 48 hours of the student confirming delivery. We pay directly to your Nigerian bank account via bank transfer. There are no platform fees deducted from your supervisor earnings.
Do I need to be a lecturer or academic to apply? +
No. We welcome graduates, professionals, researchers, and industry practitioners. What matters is your degree (minimum 2:1), your command of English, your expertise in your field, and your ability to communicate clearly with students.
What does the supervisor chat involve? +
Students on Pro and higher orders get access to a live chat with you through their dashboard. You answer their questions about the project, explain methodology, help them understand the content, and prepare them for their defence panel. Chats are asynchronous — you are not required to be online in real time.
How long does the application process take? +
We review applications within 3–5 business days. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted for a brief interview. Onboarding takes 1–2 days after acceptance. Most supervisors receive their first project within 1 week of onboarding.
Can I apply if I'm based outside Nigeria? +
Yes. We accept supervisors from anywhere in the world, provided you have Nigerian academic qualifications or strong expertise in the Nigerian academic system. Payment is made to Nigerian bank accounts — you will need a Nigerian bank account to receive payment.
