Your profile is in effect your sales pitch. It is not only your opportunity to demonstrate what differentiates you from other tutors, it's also your chance to showcase some of your soft skills.

Showcase your personality

Students want a tutor who has the necessary qualifications as well as an engaging teaching style.

• If your profile is long-winded and repetitive you will repel students who think your teaching style will be the same.
• If you have a succinct profile, that is packed with active verbs and flows well then potential clients are more likely to read on. You will come across as energetic and proficient.

• What qualifications make you suitable?
• What is your knowledge of the curriculum and exam expectations?
