A private tutor in Halmahera Selatan is a learning companion who teaches students in person at home or online across this regency's cluster of islands, centered in Labuha on Bacan Island. Its territory covers Bacan Island as the capital, Kayoa and Makian in the north, Obi Island with its nickel mining in the south, and the Gane peninsula on mainland Halmahera, so a tutor here connects children who live separated by straits and sea.
Choose the subject that fits your expertise, then apply directly via WhatsApp.
We are looking for tutors across the whole cluster of islands. Choose the area closest to where you live.

Why becoming a tutor in this island regency feels special
Districts
The regency spans more than 8,000 square kilometers scattered across many islands. Blending in-person classes in Bacan with online sessions lets you accompany students even when they are separated by a strait.
Local Economy
Nickel processing on Obi Island alongside cloves, nutmeg, and fisheries has lifted the regency's economy. More settled families are beginning to set aside funds for their children's learning support.
We seek tutors who are diligent, warm, and ready to adapt to the rhythm of island life.
Don't meet every point? Reach out anyway. Our recruitment team evaluates each candidate holistically.

Real experiences from tutors already accompanying students across these islands.
“After finishing college I chose to return to Labuha and teach math. It turned out many youngsters needed a companion for numbers. I can set my hours around helping the family business, and it feels wonderful to watch them start daring to answer in class.”
Eva Y.
Math Tutor
“I live in Obi, where many families work in the mining zone. Parents want their children strong in science, and I am glad to meet that need. Some I teach in person, and others through online classes because their homes are on a village across the water.”
Toni R.
Physics & Science Tutor
“Every afternoon after teaching recitation, my heart feels at ease. Children from the village come in turns, and the demand never fades. For me, guiding them to sound out verses while also earning a living are two joys at once.”
Niska S.
Quran Recitation Tutor
“In Kayoa, English still feels foreign to many students, so I begin with simple conversations close to their daily lives. Watching them grow confident greeting others in a foreign tongue makes these trips between islands well worth it.”
Agung B.
English Tutor
“Guiding kindergarten children to recognize their first letters is work that makes me happy too. I can fit the teaching hours around household matters, so I still care for my family while accompanying the little ones near Bacan Selatan as they learn.”
