Tutor Jobs in Makati: Teach One Learner at a Time, at Home or Online

What the work looks like in this city

A placement is one learner and one tutor. You sit with the learner at their dining table or desk, or meet them on a video call, and work on exactly what was booked: Grade 4 fractions, a Senior High General Mathematics unit, reading for a Kinder learner who is not yet decoding, conversational Filipino for an adult newly posted to the CBD.

Makati is smaller than it used to be. Since the Supreme Court ruling became final in April 2023, the Embo barangays and Fort Bonifacio belong to Taguig, so a Makati placement means one of the 23 barangays that remain, and a tutor living in Pembo or Cembo applies for Makati work like anyone else in Metro Manila.

Getting around is the part tutors underestimate. The MRT-3 stops at Guadalupe, Buendia, Ayala and Magallanes, and since March 2025 its weekday trains run about an hour later at night. The EDSA Carousel stops at Guadalupe, Buendia and One Ayala and runs through the night; most of its buses take cash only, so keep small bills ready. No subway runs yet: the stalled project returned to full city ownership in January 2026. Tell us where you start from and which hours you can really make, and we only offer placements that fit.

On weekdays a P2P bus links Circuit Makati with One Ayala on a beep card, its last trip leaving One Ayala at 6:00 p.m., so evening sessions lean on the rail line or a jeepney. Jeepneys bound for Poblacion leave from Guadalupe Market and Bernardino Street.

Evenings belong to working adults. Makati counted 309,770 residents in 2024, while estimates of its daytime population run from 3.2 to 4.2 million. Many of those workers book a session after office hours near Ayala Avenue, at home, or online, and some study at the Ateneo Professional Schools on Rockwell Drive, the Asian Institute of Management or Mapúa's Makati campus.

The rains change the commute from June: PAGASA declared the rainy season on 4 June 2026. Older MMDA lists name Osmeña Highway, the Magallanes Interchange and stretches of Chino Roces as flood-prone. When the road to a learner floods, message the learner and us early, and the session can run online.

Learners here are on very different curricula. Kinder to Grade 9 follow DepEd's MATATAG subjects, Grade 10 stays on the older curriculum this year, and Grade 11 is in the first full year of the Strengthened Senior High curriculum, with Academic and TechPro tracks in place of the old strands. The school year runs in three terms. Others attend IB schools such as Colegio San Agustin, Assumption College San Lorenzo and The Beacon School, or a Chinese-curriculum school such as Makati Hope. A tutor who knows one of those well is exactly who we want to hear from.

The city no longer has a science high school of its own: Makati Science High School in Cembo has been run by the Taguig City and Pateros division since 1 January 2024. Makati's public answer is the Science, Technology and Engineering program, entered through a Grade 7 admission test at Makati High School and General Pio del Pilar National High School, both in Poblacion. The city-run University of Makati has its campus in West Rembo, now Taguig.

Subjects Makati learners ask about

You teach what you know at the levels you know. These are the subjects Makati learners book most, shaped by the city's public STE classes, its Catholic, IB and Chinese-curriculum schools, and its working adults.

• Grade 6 math and science for STE admission tests

  Makati High School and General Pio del Pilar National High School both test incoming Grade 7 learners for their Science, Technology and Engineering program.

• IB subjects

  Diploma subjects at Colegio San Agustin and Assumption College San Lorenzo; PYP and MYP at The Beacon School.

• Mandarin and Chinese-curriculum support

  For learners at Makati Hope, which teaches a Chinese curriculum from Nursery to Grade 12 beside the DepEd subjects.

• Senior High core subjects

  General Mathematics, General Science and Effective Communication under the Strengthened SHS.

• Grade 12 strand subjects

  This year's Grade 12 finishes on the old strands, so STEM and ABM subjects such as General Physics and Business Math are still booked.

• Senior High pathway subjects

  Asia Pacific College runs six Strengthened SHS pathways, AI Solutions Development and Business Analytics among them.

• Reading and early numeracy

  Kinder to Grade 3, where a parent registers the child and wants a patient adult at home.

• College entrance review

  UPCAT, ACET, USTET and DCAT, by subtest area, for tutors who have taken or taught them.

How pay works

There is no fee to apply and no fee to join. When we have a learner for you, the offer names the subject, the level, the schedule and the hourly rate, and you decide with all of it in front of you. You are never asked to start first and settle the rate later.

Pay for a Makati placement is set per placement and written into the offer, so you see the hourly figure for that learner before you accept. Here is how it is paid: Eduline pays you for each session you teach and log, and the learner settles every invoice with Eduline, so you never collect lesson money yourself. Arranging lessons privately with a learner we introduced removes the protections on both sides, including the re-match you can ask for at any time.
