Signing up is free. Tutorspot only takes a fee from lessons you teach.

On tutorspot.co.uk, select Become a tutor in the top menu. The sign-up form, Create your tutor account (1), is on the right of the page.

Scroll down to See what you'd take home and drag Your hourly rate (1) and Hours a week (2). Each week (3) shows what you'd keep for those hours.

Tutorspot's fee is £3 plus 15% of your rate for each hour, taken from the lesson payment. At £40 an hour for 10 hours a week, you'd keep £31.00 an hour and £310.00 a week. Students pay your rate with no booking fee on top.

You set a separate rate for each subject and level later, when you build your profile.

Back at the top of the page, enter your First name, Last name, Email and a password of at least 8 characters in Create a password. Tick I accept the terms and privacy policy.

If you miss something, the form says which field needs attention, for example First name is required. or Please accept the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

If you see Has already been taken under Email, that address already has a Tutorspot account. Sign in with it instead, or use a different email address.

Select Create my tutor account (1). You're signed in and taken to your tutor Home.

The Set up your profile card shows how far you've got (for example 4 of 8 steps), the three stages your profile goes through (Profile, In review and Live) and a checklist of what's left.

Select Finish setting up your profile (1) to start the welcome guide. You can also open any unticked item in the checklist and use its button to go straight to that step.

Clients can find and book you once your profile is complete and our team has approved it. Work through the welcome guide, then add at least one qualification so we can review your profile.
