How to Build
‍a Successful Tutor Profile

A well-written bio tells potential parents and students why you are the right tutor for them. Highlight your experience, teaching style, and what makes you unique.

• Start with a strong introduction: Provide a brief but impactful introduction line where you mention the age group or subjects you specialise in. For example: "I am a certified teacher with over 15 years of experience working with students from Pre-K to Grade 8."
• Focus on your expertise: Clearly mention the subjects and grades you specialize in. If you offer specialized tutoring (e.g., math, ESL, test preparation), be sure to emphasize that. For example: "I specialize in math tutoring for elementary school students and have a deep passion for helping students master complex concepts."
• Describe your teaching philosophy: Explain how you approach tutoring and what students can expect. Keep this student-focused. For example: "I believe in creating an inclusive, supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and are encouraged to think critically."
• Highlight any unique skills: If you have expertise in areas such as special needs tutoring, bilingual instruction, or online tools, include this information to set yourself apart. For example: "I have extensive experience working with students with learning disabilities and tailor my approach to fit each child’s individual learning style."
• Use clear, engaging language: Keep your sentences short and impactful. Use active verbs and positive language that shows enthusiasm for teaching.
• Call to action: End your bio with an invitation, encouraging students or parents to reach out. For example: "I look forward to helping your child reach their full potential. Connect me to discuss how I can support your learning goals."

Your profile photo is the first thing potential students will notice, so it's essential to present yourself professionally and approachable.

• Use a high-quality photo: Ensure your image is sharp, clear, and well-lit. Avoid using selfies or blurry pictures.
• Professional and friendly: Smile warmly and face the camera directly. Your expression should convey approachability, while your attire should be professional but not overly formal.
• Simple, clean background: Choose a neutral background, free from clutter or distractions. A solid color or a plain background helps keep the focus on you.
• Good lighting is key: Natural lighting, like facing a window, works best. Avoid harsh shadows or overly bright backgrounds that can take attention away from you.
• Avoid distractions: On the platform, parents and students see a small, circular profile picture. To make sure you’re easily recognizable, we recommend uploading a close-up of your face without any distractions. Make sure your photo doesn’t include other people, pets, or busy elements—the goal is to focus on you as the educator. We love your pets too, but feel free to introduce them in your bio instead!

• Keep your bio concise but detailed: Make sure the camera is not too close to your face. We recommend leaving some space around you so we can croAim for 150-200 words.
• Update your profile regularly: As you gain more experience, keep your profile fresh and relevant to showcase new skills and achievements.
• Proofread your bio: Make sure your grammar and punctuation are correct to reflect professionalism.
