Your tag line, bio and photo are the first things families see. You can change them at any time.
1. Open Personal info
In the sidebar, select Your profile > Profile. The tabs along the top (1) are the sections of your profile. A tick shows a finished section and an orange circle shows one that still needs something. If the section you're in isn't finished, a note (2) says what's missing, for example Still needed: a profile photo.
2. Edit your text
Under Tell your students about yourself, change any of:
Tag line: one or two sentences shown under your name in search results, up to 300 characters.
Bio: how you teach and who you help.
Tutoring experience and Lesson planning.
Experience with exam boards and Past success (both optional).
Tag line, Bio, Tutoring experience and Lesson planning can't be left empty. If one is, you'll see a message such as Bio can't be blank when you save.
3. Save
Save (1) is at the bottom of the card. It's greyed out until you change something.
Select Save. You'll see Profile updated.
4. Change your photo
In the Profile picture card, select Choose photo (1) and pick a JPG, PNG or GIF up to 10 MB. Choose a clear, friendly photo of your face.
Profile photos are square. If yours isn't, Crop your photo opens. Drag the photo, or use the slider (1), to choose the part that shows, then select Crop and upload (2). Use as is uploads it without cropping. A square photo skips this step.
Your new photo saves straight away, with no need to select Save. It appears in the card and next to your name in the sidebar.
What happens next
Once nothing is missing, Personal info (1) gets a tick and the Still needed note disappears. Your changes show on your public profile straight away. Select Preview to check.
Good to know
Save before you open another tab or page. Changes you haven't saved are lost.
If the photo is too big or not a JPG, PNG or GIF, you'll see That image is too large. Choose one under 10 MB. or Choose a JPG, PNG or GIF image. Choose another file.
