In the Nice metropolitan area, the rising cost of living is prompting some residents to seek additional income. The tutoring sector is part of this context.
In Nice, the issue of purchasing power is significant in many households. The increase in rents, energy, and daily expenses is straining budgets. In response to this situation, searches for additional activities are increasing. The tutoring sector is among the options considered by some residents.
In this context, the French company Les Sherpas is announcing a recruitment drive for 250 private tutors in the Nice metropolitan area. The stated goal is to meet the growing demand from families for tutoring. This campaign is part of a national effort already initiated by the platform.
Present across the entire country, Les Sherpas relies on a network of several thousand teachers. Tens of thousands of families already use this service. Strengthening its presence in Nice addresses a local reality marked by a significant number of students and pupils.
A territory marked by diverse educational needs
Nice has nearly 367,000 enrolled youths and more than 69,000 higher education students. The area is characterized by a wide range of educational paths. The need for support involves middle school, high school, and higher education. Requests focus on core subjects like mathematics, French, and English. Homework help and exam preparation complete this picture.
This approach is part of a desire to structure tutoring support. The company advocates personalized teaching and organized management. The recruitment launched in Nice aims to expand the local network of available teachers.
In a constrained economic environment, tutoring represents a source of additional income for some individuals. The platform allows teachers to set their own rates. The typical rates range from 20 to 40 euros per hour. Payment is automated after each lesson.
The system is designed to be transparently managed, with no outstanding payments. Digital tools centralize exchanges and class organization. This structuring allows the activity to fit into already busy schedules.
The profiles involved are varied. Students, teachers, professionals in transition, freelancers, or young retirees are among the targeted groups. The flexibility of schedules is a key element. A few hours a week or more regular slots are possible, depending on availability.
Training, supervision, and work organization
The entry process involves selection and initial training. Support for getting started is offered. Digital tools make it easier to manage classes and communicate with families. Pedagogical oversight is provided by the platform’s team.
Work organization is highly flexible. Classes can be scheduled during the week, on weekends, or during holidays. This freedom allows the reconciliation of professional activities, studies, or retirement with additional income. The framework remains structured, with defined rules.
The connection with students occurs after profile validation. The platform highlights strong local demand. Initial lessons can begin quickly after registration.
A clear stance on the proposed framework
Étienne Porche, co-founder of Les Sherpas, explains that this recruitment campaign is accompanied by a focus on remuneration and working conditions. Les Sherpas emphasizes the absence of hidden fees and the transparency of their economic model. “In a context where people in Nice are looking for ways to supplement their income, we are proud to offer an activity that is meaningful and fairly remunerated. At Les Sherpas, a teacher earns exactly the fee they set, with no hidden costs for them or the families. This creates a humane and supportive work environment that is key for students. It’s a win-win for everyone: the teachers, the families, and even the area.”
Founded in 2017 by Etienne Porche and William Mievre, Les Sherpas is positioned in the personalized tutoring market. Classes are offered at all levels, from middle school to higher education. The offer combines in-person and online teaching. Free resources are also available via a blog and social media, followed by several million internet users each month.
