Tutor Onboarding
Welcome to Tuter!
So you’re ready to teach! Now what?
Well, we’re ready to help you find your students!
First, navigate to your PROFILE on the app. Turn your status to “ONLINE” - this will show potential students that you’re ready to teach and ready to answer their questions. If you’re not available, simply turn your status to “OFFLINE.” This is vital to keep your rating and response times at its highest.
Next, initiate a chat session with your prospective student to make sure that you have the knowledge and expertise to answer their questions. It’s also a good check to see if the student is the right fit for you. This is also a great opportunity to ask for notes, or images of the problem, so that you have all the material ready ahead of time. Use their time effectively as this can help you get a better rating on your reviews.
The higher the rating, the more students you’ll get!
When you’re ready, start your live online tutoring session!
Finding Students
Students will always be coming in and out of Tuter. There will be peak seasons, and lull seasons, but there will always be someone looking for tutoring help.
With Tuter, students can ‘FIND’ you directly via viewing profiles. From here, the potential students can see your academic background, languages spoken, expertise, and most importantly, your rating.
Another option is to answer questions that a potential student may have. With the ‘ASK’ function, a student can pose a question and it’s open to any tutor to initiate a conversation. But don’t give away the answer as you’ll want to get a live online tutoring session set-up. This is your chance to show them what you know and why you’re the best fit for the job.
Remember all that talk about ratings? Well just like in the old reality, the students can decide if they want to hire you for a live session or not.
Get Paid!
As a tutor, you will be paid when the student initiates a live online tutoring session with you. From there, you will be paid on a per-minute basis (with the first minute being free).
The chat messages and ‘ASK’ interactions are free-to-use for the student - it’s not designed for you to tutor through. The live online tutoring sessions is where you’ll get paid.
Tuter takes away all of the nightmare stories about not being paid, being stood-up, or nightmare sessions that you may have experienced in the past. We use Stripe to make sure you’re paid and that your information is secure. What is Stripe? Only one of the most trusted payment platforms in the world. Did you know that Lyft uses the Stripe platform as well?
Accepted forms of payment are major credit card, Apple Pay, or Google pay.
Finally, when you’re in your live online tutoring session, you will be paid by the minute (with the first minute being free). If the student only needs 15 minutes to get to the solution they need? Then you’ll only be paid for the time used.
