Your Tutor Profile

What is a tutor profile?

Your profile is a public page where parents and students can learn about you and your tutoring services, and can contact you to schedule or start a tutoring session. While anyone can view your profile page, only a WeTutor user who has signed in as a parent or student can view your contact information.

You can edit your profile at anytime by signing in, clicking on the My Account link at the top of any WeTutor page, and then clicking on the My Profile tab. Be sure to click the Save Changes button after making any changes.

What should I include in my profile?

While all of the profile items described below are optional, remember that your profile is the best way for you to communicate with potential parents and students and to showcase your tutoring skills and teaching background. We strongly recommend including at least grade levels, subjects, available times and your fee, along with the written Summary section, which is displayed when a user searches our tutor directory.
