You don't have to figure it
all out alone.

Ensena connects you with real tutors and academic experts who teach you live, online — to help you understand difficult subjects, prepare for exams and get the academic support you need, from primary school to PhD.

Live classes with real teachers · No recorded videos · No AI tutors

So, what exactly is Ensena?

Ensena is a platform that connects learners with the right academic support.

How learning works on Ensena

A real teacher. Live.

Ensena isn't a video library or an AI chatbot. Every class is taught live, online, by a real person who can see where you're stuck and explain it again until it clicks.

Real people, real-time learning

  • A real, qualified teacher, face to face on screen
  • Live 1-on-1 or small-group classes
  • Ask questions and get answers there and then
  • Lessons that adjust to your pace and level
  • The same teacher, week after week, who knows you

No shortcuts, no robots

  • No pre-recorded videos to watch alone
  • No AI tutors pretending to be teachers
  • No one-size-fits-all courses
  • No waiting days for a reply to your question

Because sometimes school gets hard.

"I don't understand this topic.""WAEC is getting closer.""I have a JAMB exam coming.""Everyone understands this course except me.""I don't know where to start with my dissertation.""I've been stuck on this research for weeks."

That's where Ensena comes in.

Want to meet your tutor first? Try a free Discovery Session

A Discovery Session is a free, 25-minute live call with a tutor before you book regular classes. It's how your tutor gets to know you: where you are now, what you're finding difficult, and what you want to achieve. And it's how you find out whether they're the right teacher for you.

It's optional. Already know what you need and happy with your tutor? Skip it and book and pay for your class straight away.

01

Meet your tutor

Talk live, face to face on screen, with the real teacher you're thinking of learning with.

02

Share your pain points

Explain the topics you're stuck on, the exam you're preparing for, or the project that's worrying you.

Get a quick assessment

Your tutor asks questions to understand your level, how you learn best, and where the gaps are.

04

Agree on a plan

Decide together on what to focus on, how often to meet, session length and schedule.

When is a Discovery Session useful?
  • You're not sure exactly what you need help with
  • You want to assess the tutor and their teaching style first
  • You'd like a clear plan before a big exam or project
  • You're a parent who wants to meet the tutor before your child starts

It's free, with no obligation to book afterwards. Not the right fit? Try another tutor.

The session timer runs for 25 minutes and ends automatically. Afterwards, you choose your next step, or you can skip the Discovery Session entirely and book instantly.

Frequently asked questions

For students, parents and guardians.

About Ensena

What exactly is Ensena?

Ensena is an online platform that connects learners with real tutors and academic experts. You tell us what you need help with, browse tutors who match your level and subject, book a session, and learn live with your tutor in the Ensena online classroom.

It covers every stage of learning: primary school, secondary school, university, Master's and PhD.

Are the classes live, or are they pre-recorded videos?

Every class is live. You meet a real teacher, face to face on screen, at the time you booked. There are no pre-recorded video courses and no AI tutors.

Because your teacher is there with you, you can ask questions, ask them to explain something again, and work through problems together in real time.

Is Ensena only for secondary school students?

No. Ensena is built for learners at every level:

  • Primary: tutoring, homework help and assignments for young learners.
  • Secondary: support in all subjects, plus exam preparation for WAEC, NECO, JAMB, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT and GCE.
  • University: course support, assignment support, thesis and project support, and research support.
  • Master's and PhD: research guidance, dissertation support, academic writing and journal proofreading.
I'm an undergraduate. Can Ensena really help with my courses?

Yes. Many university students struggle with a course that everyone else seems to understand, or with a final-year project they don't know how to start. On Ensena you can find a tutor who knows your course, whether that's engineering maths, accounting, anatomy, statistics, law or something else, and book live sessions to work through it.

You can also get help with understanding assignments, preparing for exams, and planning and structuring your project or thesis.

I'm doing a Master's or PhD. What kind of support is available?

Postgraduate learners can get guidance on research design and methods, literature reviews, data analysis, structuring a dissertation or thesis, academic writing, and proofreading for journal submissions.

Support is given by people with relevant academic experience, and it's provided as guidance and learning assistance.

Will a tutor write my assignment, project or thesis for me?

No. Ensena tutors help you understand and improve your work. They explain concepts, show you how to approach a question, review your drafts and give feedback. They don't complete assessed work on your behalf. This protects you academically, and it means you actually learn the material you'll be examined on.

Free academic counselling

What is Ensena's free academic counselling?

It's a free, one-on-one session with a real, professional academic psychologist or counsellor, not a chatbot or a recorded video. You talk live, online, about whatever is affecting your studies, and you leave with practical recommendations and next steps.

Who will I be speaking to?

A real, professional academic psychologist or counsellor, trained to help students with learning difficulties, motivation, study habits, subject and course choices, and career decisions. You speak to them one-on-one, live, at the time you booked.

Do I have to book a class to get counselling?

No. Counselling is free for every student, whether or not you've ever booked a class. You can schedule a session as soon as you need one.

What can I talk to the psychologist about?
  • Falling behind, failing a subject or losing motivation
  • Choosing subjects, a department, or a course for JAMB or university
  • Career advice and how to get to the career you want
  • Exam stress and building a study plan
  • Changing course, picking a project topic, or deciding on a Master's or PhD

If you're not sure whether your question fits, book anyway. Your psychologist will help you figure out the right next step.

Can parents book counselling for their child?

Yes. Parents and guardians can book a session to talk about their child's progress, subject choices or future plans, and how best to support them.

Is counselling the same as tutoring?

No. Tutoring is about learning a subject with a tutor. Counselling is about the bigger picture: why you're struggling, which direction to take, and how to plan. Many students use both: counselling to work out what they need, then a tutor to help them get there.

Free Discovery Session

What is a Discovery Session?

A Discovery Session is an optional, free, 25-minute live session with a tutor before you start regular classes. It's a first meeting where the tutor gets to understand your pain points: what you're struggling with, your current level, your goals, and any exam or deadline coming up.

It's also your chance to see how the tutor teaches and decide whether they're the right fit for you.

Do I have to do a Discovery Session before booking a class?

No. The Discovery Session is optional. If you already know what you need and you're happy with a tutor's profile, you can book and pay for a class instantly, without a Discovery Session.

It's most useful when you're not sure exactly what you need, or when you want to assess the tutor and their teaching style before committing.

Is the Discovery Session really free?

Yes. The Discovery Session is free, and there's no obligation to book classes afterwards. You only pay when you choose to book regular sessions with a tutor.

What happens during the 25 minutes?
  • Introductions: you meet your tutor live, face to face on screen.
  • Your pain points: you explain what you need help with, such as a topic, a subject, an exam or a project.
  • Quick assessment: the tutor asks questions to understand your level and how you learn best.
  • A plan: you agree on what to focus on, how often to meet, how long each session should be, and when.
How should I prepare for my Discovery Session?

Have a rough idea of what you'd like help with. If you have recent test results, a course outline, a syllabus, past questions or a project brief, have them ready to show your tutor. Make sure you're somewhere quiet with a stable internet connection. That's all you need.

Why does it stop at 25 minutes?

The Discovery Session is designed to be a focused first conversation, not a full lesson. The classroom timer shows the time remaining, and the session ends automatically at 25 minutes. After it ends, you can choose your next step, such as booking regular classes with that tutor.

What if the tutor isn't the right fit after the Discovery Session?

No problem. You're under no obligation to continue. You can book a Discovery Session with a different tutor and keep looking until you find someone who suits you.

Can parents join their child's Discovery Session?

Yes. For younger learners especially, it helps for a parent or guardian to be there, so they can share concerns about their child's progress and agree on a plan with the tutor.

Is a Discovery Session the same as free counselling?

No. A Discovery Session is with a tutor, before you start classes in a subject. Free academic counselling is with a professional academic psychologist or counsellor, and covers the bigger picture, such as motivation, subject or course choices, study plans and career decisions. Both are free.

Tutors and classes

Who are the tutors? How do I know they're qualified?

Tutors apply to teach on Ensena and go through a review before they can take classes. As part of their application they submit documents such as a government ID, academic certificates and teaching qualifications, which the Ensena team checks.

Each tutor has a profile showing what they teach, the levels they support and their price, and you'll be able to see ratings from other learners.

What's the difference between private and group classes?

Private (1-on-1) classes are just you and your tutor. The whole session is focused on your questions, your pace and your weak areas.

Group classes are live classes with a tutor and a small group of other learners, usually working through a topic or an exam syllabus together. They cost less per person, and many students enjoy learning alongside others.

Can I choose the time and length of my sessions?

Yes. For private classes, you pick a time from your tutor's available slots and choose a session length, such as 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Group classes run on a set schedule that's shown before you book, so you can pick one that fits your timetable.

What do I need to join a class?

A phone, tablet or laptop with a stable internet connection. Classes take place in the Ensena online classroom, which includes video, chat and a shared whiteboard, so you and your tutor can write and solve problems together. A laptop or tablet gives you more space for the whiteboard, but a phone works too.

What if my tutor isn't the right fit?

That's completely fine. You're never locked in to one tutor. You can book a different tutor for your next session at any time and keep looking until you find someone whose teaching style works for you.

For parents and guardians

Can I book classes for my child?

Yes. When you sign up, you can say you're learning for yourself or for your child. Parents and guardians can find a tutor, book sessions and pay on their child's behalf.

Will I be able to follow my child's progress?

Yes. Ensena is built so that parents and guardians can be linked to their child's account and stay informed about their learning, including upcoming classes and progress.

Is Ensena safe for my child?

Tutors are reviewed before they can teach, including identity and qualification checks. Classes take place inside the Ensena classroom rather than on outside apps, and messages between learners and tutors stay on the platform. If anything ever feels wrong, you can report it to the Ensena team directly from the platform.

Pricing and payment

How much does it cost?
  • Private classes: from ₦1,000 per session. Each tutor sets their own price based on the subject, level and session length.
  • Group classes: from ₦500 per session, and never more than ₦2,000.

You always see the price before you book, and there's no subscription you're forced into.

How do I pay, and is my money safe?

You pay securely through Ensena when you book. Ensena holds the payment and releases it to the tutor after the session has taken place, so you're not paying someone directly and hoping they show up.

The waitlist

Does joining the waitlist cost anything?

No. Joining the waitlist is free and doesn't commit you to anything. You won't be asked to pay until you choose to book a class after launch.

What happens after I join the waitlist?

We'll contact you when Ensena opens to students. Waitlist members get early access, launch offers, and are the first to see new tutors and classes. Your details are only used to tell you about Ensena's launch.

I'm not sure I need a tutor yet. Should I still join?

Yes. Joining is free, and it means support is ready the moment you need it, whether that's a difficult topic next term, an exam coming up, or a project you're about to start.

Your next academic breakthrough could start here.

The Ensena team

Frequently asked questions

Who can join Tutor Circle?

Teachers, tutors, lecturers, graduates, strong university students, and Master's or PhD experts with knowledge they can teach.

How do I become an Ensena tutor?

Join Tutor Circle on WhatsApp and follow the onboarding steps shared there to create your tutor profile.

How much can I charge?

You set your own price. Your earnings depend on your price, number of learners and how often you teach.

How much does Ensena take?

A 20% platform fee. You keep 80% of what learners pay.

Can I teach part-time?

Yes. You choose your availability, whether that's two hours a week or several evenings.

What's the difference between private and group classes?

Private classes are one learner at a time: you set the price and the learner picks a time from your availability. Group classes have up to 10 learners on a schedule you set, at up to ₦3,000 per learner per session.

How long are sessions?

Private sessions can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Your schedule shows the exact time, for example 11:00–11:45.

What is a Discovery Session?

A short session of up to 25 minutes where a new learner meets you and plans their lessons. The classroom timer shows the limit and the session ends automatically.

How do learners pay, and how am I protected?

Learners pay through Ensena per session, per week or per month. Payments are held in escrow, and every transaction shows the full amount, Ensena's 20% fee, your balance, and any refund or payout status.

Do I need a laptop?

No. You can teach on a laptop or a phone. During sign-up we'll ask which you use, as phone-only teaching may follow different pricing rules.

Can I teach in person?

Not yet. All Ensena classes are online for now.

Can I support undergraduates with their thesis or research?

Yes. Many final-year students need help with their thesis or project, and Ensena lets you guide them through it.

You could help with:

  • Choosing and refining a research topic
  • Structuring the thesis chapter by chapter
  • Research methods and data analysis
  • Literature review and referencing
  • Reviewing drafts and giving feedback
  • Preparing for the project defence

Ensena tutors guide and support learners. They never write the thesis or complete assessed work on a student's behalf.

Can Master's and PhD experts join?

Yes. You can offer research, dissertation, academic writing and journal proofreading support — as guidance, never completing assessed work.

Do I need teaching experience?

No. Teaching experience is not required to join Ensena. What matters is that you have strong knowledge in what you want to teach and can explain it clearly to learners.

Whether you're an experienced teacher, university student, graduate, researcher, Master's student or PhD expert, you can apply to teach or provide academic support on Ensena. You could be:

  • A university student who is excellent at Mathematics
  • A graduate who understands a difficult university course
  • A Master's student with strong research expertise
  • A PhD holder
  • A subject-matter expert
  • An experienced teacher

All tutors go through Ensena's onboarding and review process before they can start teaching.
