Become a pioneering teacher in Indonesia's new capital. As civil-servant families and workers arrive in Sepaku, the need for learning support is growing from scratch. You set your own teaching hours while helping the children of Nusantara step into the future of a city still being built.

A private tutor in Nusantara is a learning companion who visits students' homes directly or guides them online across the Nusantara Capital area, covering Sepaku District and Penajam Paser Utara Regency in East Kalimantan. Because the city is still under construction and inhabited by civil-servant families and incoming workers, tutors here are among the very first to open up supplementary learning services.

Arrange your teaching hours around your daily life. Many tutors here blend teaching with studies, work, or family matters without any clashes.
With access to Balikpapan and Samarinda, you can serve students inside the IKN area while staying linked to the education networks of both neighboring cities.
Many students here have just moved from their hometowns. Your guidance helps them adjust their lessons and find their footing in a new school.
You help pioneer the network of teachers in Nusantara. Fellow tutors share student leads, ferry routes, and tips for teaching in a freshly forming environment.
We regularly hold briefing sessions for tutors: crafting engaging teaching materials, serving students from varied regional backgrounds, and keeping conversations smooth with parents. All of it free of charge.
Upload your files: a copy of your ID, your diploma, plus a summary of your track record guiding learners. Everything is simply attached through chat, light to access even where the signal in parts of Sepaku still comes and goes.
Incoming files are checked one by one with care. If you set out from Balikpapan or Samarinda, we also help map a teaching coverage that fits your route best.
Through a brief video call, we talk about how you deliver lessons and your readiness in the field. The mood is relaxed, closer to an introduction than an assessment.
Once we switch your profile on, we connect you with students nearby in Sepaku, Penajam, or around the Balikpapan gateway. Welcome aboard as a pioneering Nusantara teacher!
โParents here place great hope on their children speaking English fluently, because they understand Nusantara is meant to become an international-scale city. I often coach conversation for kids who have just changed schools. Watching them dare to speak again after a spell of shyness is an inner reward hard to trade away.โ
โThe civil-servant housing is full of toddlers and kindergarteners still adjusting. I guide them to recognize letters and numbers through play, while slotting the hours freely between household chores. For me, accompanying my husband on duty, this is a way to mingle while still having work of my own.โ
โI'm a student from a campus in Balikpapan and I cross over to teach on weekends. Demand for physics in UTBK preparation is fairly high because the kids here aspire to enter state universities. The crossing does need planning, but the earnings match the time I put in.โ
โYoung families settling in Sepaku want their children to keep studying the Quran even far from home. I make the rounds to several houses, and the atmosphere is as warm as my own family. Building a small circle of learning in a place still quiet feels truly meaningful.โ
