Completing your Tutor Profile

How to set up your tutor profile

Written by Luke Stevens

Your Tutor Profile

As a tutor, your profile is the face of your business. It is very important that your profile is complete, accurate, and (you)nique.

Have a clear profile photo

Meeting someone new can be intimidating. That's why having a clear picture will help students feel more comfortable with you. Don't forget to smile! 😁

Write a compelling bio

Your bio is where you differentiate yourself. It should include your expertise, background, personality, and anything else you think is relevant to share with students. Sell yourself! Here are some things to consider including:

  • Area of study

  • Degrees earned

  • How long you have been tutoring

  • Why you like tutoring

  • Relevant job/internship experience

  • Relevant awards or recognition

Set an accurate availability

One of the best parts of being a Knack Tutor is that you set your own schedule. There are no minimum hours required. Once you start working with students, it’s important to keep your availability up to date so students know when to request a session.

Tutors can manage their availability through a recurring weekly schedule (Calendar-Based Scheduling), which helps define the times you are generally open for bookings. This schedule is shown to students during the booking process so they can easily identify your preferred session times.

You can create and update your availability at any time in Account Settings > Availability. Availability is set using a simple calendar view where you can click and drag to create time blocks, adjust existing blocks by resizing or moving them, and remove or clear schedules as needed. All changes are automatically synced across web and mobile, and your availability is displayed in your selected time zone.

On mobile, you can access the same settings by selecting a day of the week, choosing your start and end times, and saving your updates.

You can refer to the article Setting your Availability for more details on how availability works and how to manage it.
