How to give private lessons in Quebec

What to expect legally, how to price responsibly, and how to grow students with a trusted marketplace.

By Équipe PratiqoPublished on March 7, 20262 min read

If you have expertise to share, Quebec’s demand for private lessons is strong — and the barrier to start is lower than many think.

What the rules usually mean

There isn’t a Quebec-wide “tutor license” for typical private lessons. What matters is real expertise and the confidence families feel on your profile — especially when working with minors.

Taxes and administration

If you earn tutoring income as self-employed income, plan for reporting. Small-supplier rules often apply below common revenue thresholds — validate details with Revenu Québec for your situation.

Pricing with confidence

Scan comparable profiles and subjects on Pratiqo, then price for your experience, preparation time, and travel if applicable.

Grow sustainably

Clear availability, fast replies, verified identity where possible, and predictable cancellation policies help you earn repeat students.
