Your profile is your shop window. Tutors with complete, well-crafted profiles receive up to 3× more bookings than those with incomplete profiles.

Profile photo

  • ·Use a professional, friendly headshot with a clean background.
  • ·Good lighting and a warm smile make a significant difference.
  • ·Avoid group photos or images where you are hard to identify.

Introduction video

  • ·Aim for 60–90 seconds.
  • ·Speak in the language you teach — demonstrate your ability immediately.
  • ·Mention who you are, your teaching style, and what students can expect.
  • ·Film in a quiet, well-lit space.

Bio and specialties

  • ·Lead with your teaching philosophy and student outcomes.
  • ·Mention specific student types you work best with (beginners, business professionals, exam candidates).
  • ·List certifications, degrees, or years of experience concisely.

Pricing strategy

  • ·Offer a trial lesson at 50% off to lower the barrier to your first booking.
  • ·Offer package discounts for students who want to commit to 5 or 10 lessons.

After 10 completed lessons, request a profile review from the Tutor Success team — they provide personalized feedback to help you grow.
