How do I Create my Own Tutor Listing?

Creating your tutor listing could not be simpler, just follow the step by step instructions on Superprof and fill out each section. Here are a few helpful tips to help make it as visible as possible to potential students, allowing them to find you: Highlight your Strengths (your skills, your experience...) Ask yourself why a potential client may choose you over another peer tutor. Explain what differentiates you and makes your private lessons exceptional. Explain your learning style and teaching methodology. Tell your Story. Teaching is not just about passing on your knowledge; it is also about building a bond of trust with your students. Showing your human side is very important. Showing that you’re an interesting and thoughtful person, willing and capable of listening to others. Mention your hobbies, groups you’re part of, your travels, your past work experience, and successes in life. Focus on the Benefits: What are you Providing to your Future Students? Try to avoid technical terms difficult to comprehend. Also avoid bland or cliché phrases that do not detail what you will provide. For example, do not just say “I teach maths at all levels and for all abilities", mention the exact levels at which you teach (VCE, HSC, Primary School, GAMSAT, etc.) as well as the exact topics (algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, etc.) Include a Picture that Makes you Stand Out Clear frontal photos of your face are an important way for students and teachers to learn about each other. You will increase the number of contacts you make 10 fold by adding a high quality, profile picture of yourself. Review your listing An advertisement full of mistakes will not be taken seriously. Re-read your ad with a text editor and make a final review before publishing.

What Subjects Can I Teach?

At Superprof, we offer more than 1000 subjects across dozens of categories (sports/ academia/hobbies/music/etc.). You don’t necessarily have to be a qualified tutor to be an effective educator. For example, a professional pianist is obviously qualified to give piano lessons, but teaching involves much more than certification. It requires passion; love for your craft, enthusiasm and the ability to foster these attributes in your students. A piano teacher does not necessarily have to be a concert pianist, but they must have good ideas on how to become one and how to master the instrument and the music. If you want to start English tutoring jobs, you need to have mastered the language yourself, be fluent or bilingual and able to explain concepts in writing, grammar, and accent reduction. You may also be required to teach your students the basics of culture and history of the countries where the language is spoken.
