Be an Online Tutor with Tutorially Part 2
Welcome back! In Part 1 we learned about the start of the journey toward becoming an online tutor. We talked about the advantages Tutorially™ can bring to a modern online tuition business, and promised that Part 2 would provide more detail on what it is like to online tutor with Tutorially™ - what the process actually looks like, as well as how we can help you to attract and secure more students to grow your business!
And with that, onward, to Part 2.

How To Attract More Students
Once you have completed your Tutorially™ online tutor profile, have completed some online lessons and have hopefully gathered some good reviews of your service, your FREE profile page will start working for you! With a clean and clear design, good quality information and fully indexed Google search, students searching for a tutor of a subject you specialise in can find you. Tutorially™ also has a registered students group, giving them the inside track! There are several things you can do to make the most of your Tutorially™ profile:
- Update your profile. Then, consider what your potential students want to hear from you as an online tutor. Include news and articles in your profile so students can find out more about you, making them more likely to get in touch.
- Ask your students to give you ratings and reviews. Tutorially’s built-in ratings and reviews are displayed on your profile. Simply ask your students to provide feedback after your session. The better your reviews, and the more you have, the better your chances of success!
- Availability is key. Tutorially™ displays online tutor availability to students – you set your working hours as you wish, and your calendar is displayed for students to review (without any sensitive information of course). Students can then see at a glance whether your diaries fit.
- Always respond to the session requests quickly. Whenever you receive messages from students, you are being judged on your responsiveness. Obviously, do not interrupt lessons with responding to students, but do so as soon as you are able. Tutorially™ has integrated instant messaging, as well as displaying all your contact information (if you select the option to), maximising communication.
So as you can see, Tutorially™ gives you all the tools to become a successful online tutor. We also give you the tools to attract more students and build a successful business, as well as automating the administrative elements of an online tuition business so you can focus on teaching! Hopefully, we've built on the material offered in Part 1 and fully explained how to become a better online tutor with Tutorially™, and you can contact us with any online tutoring questions via the website!
