What impression are parents and students left with when they view your profile? Have you seen your public profile. If not, place your zip code in the map on our homepage. Does your profile say "professional"?
In an effort to improve our client experiences, your profile will need to be complete, professional and current in order to be visible to parents and students. After August 1st, profiles that don't meet this criterion will be placed at the bottom of all search results and eventually deactivated.
SOME SUGGESTIONS:
Include the Right Profile Picture
Profile photos are now required for all tutors. Adding a photo helps you get noticed in various search results and increases your chances of getting hired.
Follow these guidelines for an effective profile photo:
- Clearly identify yourself (visible face and eyes, no sunglasses).
- Use a real photo (not a cartoon or drawing).
- Use a photo that's positioned upright (not sideways or upside down).
- Do not show any hand gestures in your photo.

- Describe yourself, including your skills and tutoring experience in your Narrative text box.
- Are your Education and Experience fields up-to-date?
- Use proper punctuation and grammar (this means no misspellings, no abbreviations and complete sentences).
- Add Testimonials from clients, but but do not use full names of parents, students or other references.
- If you offer a fee range, you must explain that range in the Payment Options text box.
- Make sure you have indicated Available Tutorial Locations.
- Do not include links to other sites.
- Optional, but helpful:
- Upload a Resume (no addresses or last names allowed)
- Add a Video
