BestTeacher connects parents and SHS students with verified teachers for extra classes, area by area across Ghana. Primary, JHS and SHS, virtually, at home or at a school.
Parents: book a teacher in 4 steps
- Sign up free with your phone number, then add each child (ward): class, school and town.
- Find a teacher. Pick the subject, lesson type, day and time. You see only verified teachers who are free then, with their photo, experience and rating.
- Send a request. When the teacher accepts, pay for 1, 4 or 8 lessons in the app.
- Follow progress. After every lesson the teacher writes what was covered and the homework. You can chat with the teacher in the app.

Prices are fixed by level and shown before you book. Pay per lesson in the app (MoMo or card), or choose the monthly plan: one bill a month for all your classes, 5% cheaper, sent automatically, with optional automatic card payment. Teachers are paid only for lessons they actually deliver, and you can report a problem within 48 hours of any lesson.
Is it safe?
Every teacher's Ghana Card and certificate are checked, and their photo is approved by our team. Parents and BestTeacher can read every class chat, and teachers can't message a child privately.
