Read a tutor's profile

What each part of a tutor's profile tells you: key facts, about, checks, reviews, prices, qualifications and references.

Written by Adam Bedford

A tutor's profile is where you decide whether to get in touch. Open one by selecting View profile or the tutor's name in your search results.

1. The top of the profile

At the top you'll see the tutor's name (1), photo, star rating and number of reviews, and a one-line introduction. Badges (2) show checks such as DBS certificate on file, and whether they teach Online lessons, in person, or both.

Three key facts (3) follow: how quickly the tutor usually replies, how many reviews they have (or hours taught), and when they're available.

The links under them (4) jump to each part of the profile: About, Checks, Reviews, Subjects and prices, Qualifications and References.

The box on the right shows the tutor's price for the subject and level you searched, and lets you message them. See Message a tutor and create your account.

2. About

In the tutor's own words: about them, their tutoring experience, how they plan lessons, and sometimes the exam boards they know and past successes.

3. Checks and background

When a tutor isn't taking students

Some tutors pause new enquiries. Their profile says, for example, "Morgan isn't taking new students right now", and you can't message them. Select See similar tutors who are, or pick one of the Tutors taking students now on the right. Get matched with a tutor asks our team to find one for you.
