What's in a Tutor's Profile

A Tutor’s profile is organized into a few sections:

• Personal Information, the Tutor’s basic details:
  • Photo, the Tutor’s profile picture.
  • Name, the Tutor’s full name.
  • Email, the Tutor’s contact email.
  • Phone, the Tutor’s contact phone number.
  • Short Biography, a brief bio the Tutor writes about themselves.
  • Timezone, the Tutor’s timezone.
  • ZIP Code, the Tutor’s ZIP code.
  • Internal Notes, for your own notes about the Tutor, which they never see.
• Expertise, what the Tutor is qualified and interested in teaching:
  • Interested Subjects, what the Tutor wants to teach.
  • Approved Curriculum, separate from Interested Subjects - what they’re actually approved to teach.
  • Learning Needs Expertise, like ADHD, ELL, or other learning differences. A Tutor selecting ELL needs an ELL endorsement from an accredited institution.
  • Language-based Learning, which of the four supported languages, Spanish, French, Mandarin, or German, they can teach in.
• Training and Certificates - any certifications a Tutor holds, like an Orton-Gillingham reading certification, with a short description of what it covers.
• Education - degree and school. We require a bachelor’s degree and a state-issued teaching certificate; substitute certifications aren’t accepted.
• Experience - past teaching or tutoring positions, with dates, school, and position for each. We require at least one year of teaching or tutoring experience.
• Background Check - where the Tutor confirms they went to Justifacts, submitted together with the rest of the profile. See Background Checks for how you finalize that part.
