Apply To Teach

Your bio is a really important part of your Tutordel profile. It helps potential customers to gauge your teaching style, your areas of expertise, and any other additional qualifications or skills that you possess. We advise it be written in a manner that is both friendly and professional and it is a good idea to include: 

1. Academic background: Where and what do you study and what qualifications you have obtained
2. Tutoring experience: You can also include any other experience that you think is relevant; valid experience comes in a range of different forms! 
3. Teaching style: How you conduct your lessons, any specific methods of teaching that you use, etc.
4. A bit about yourself and your interests: Anything else about you that you think is relevant or interesting. It is also a good idea to include why you want to become/became a tutor and what you think sets you apart from the crowd!
5. A good video: We recommend all tutors do a video. It's a quick and easy way to sell yourself and your services. 

Tutordel offers a comprehensive range of subjects at all levels, through Primary, Secondary, A Level, and beyond. When setting up your profile, you can select any subjects that you wish to teach. It is vital that you can clearly demonstrate that you have the relevant qualifications, experience, and knowledge needed to tutor these subjects. 

Tutors who specialize in one or two subjects are generally seen as more reliable than tutors who have selected a high number of subjects to tutor. 

Your tutor profile is your space to really sell yourself to potential students! We want to make sure that you have the best chance of being selected by our clients. Your profile headshot is the first impression our clients will have of you and a professional photo makes all the difference. 

Your photo should:

1. Be taken by another person (no selfies!) 
2. Be in landscape orientation, with your head and shoulders visible in the frame
3. Be a high-quality photo with no other people in the background. Try to stand against a light background. 
4. Look professional!

Absolutely! Please contact us at [email protected] with the subject you have in mind and we will add it in if it is suitable.

Yes, you can change your hourly rate at any time. If you are relatively new to tutoring (1-3 years of experience), we recommend starting at a lower hourly rate and increase this over time as you gain experience and good reviews. 

Please note if you do change your hourly rate, this will affect existing customers, so they will be charged more! This usually results in customers stopping tutoring, so please consider this before you change your price. 

You can, however, keep your current rates for learners before changing prices. Simply go to "My Learners” in your tutor account and toggle the lock icon beside their names. Key in the rates you would like to charge the learner to lock in the prices. Click the lock icon again if you wish to unlock

Online tuition: 

Online lessons take place in our online classroom, using the interactive whiteboard. You can deliver your lessons from anywhere as long as you have a computer, lesson materials, and a strong internet connection. However, we do expect our tutors to choose appropriate locations that are quiet so the online lesson will not be interrupted. The Whiteboard is best used on Chrome and features include a whiteboard, audio, video, and file sharing.

In-person tuition: 

You will only be visible to clients in the areas that you have selected in your ‘Coverage Section’. Most tutors will travel to their client, but feel free to suggest a local library or coffee shop if you and your student are happy with that arrangement. Travel costs are not covered separately by the client or Tutordel so be mindful of travel expenses when setting your hourly rate.
