How Ajnabi Works

From sign-up to success — here's exactly how we match you with the perfect peer tutor and guide you to academic excellence.

Our Philosophy

At Ajnabi, we believe the best tutors aren't always professors or veteran teachers — they're university students who recently conquered the same subjects, faced the same exams, and know exactly what it takes to succeed. Our entire platform is built around this insight.

We've designed a streamlined, student-first process that gets you matched with your ideal tutor quickly and ensures every session delivers real value. Here's how it all works:

The Ajnabi Process

📝

Step 1: Tell Us What You Need

Start by sharing your details with us. We'll ask about:

  • Your curriculum — IB, IGCSE, A-Levels, SAT, AP, or IB MYP
  • Your subjects — the specific courses you need help with
  • Your goals — exam prep, homework help, concept mastery, or general improvement
  • Your schedule — preferred days, times, and session frequency
  • Your format — online, in-person, or hybrid sessions

  • Subject expertise — they excelled in your exact subjects
  • Curriculum knowledge — they studied the same program you're in
  • Availability — their schedule aligns with yours
