How TutrIQ Works

In order for you to start tutoring, you must: 1) Complete your Profile, 2) Verify your Account, 3) Add your Bank Details, 4) Setup your Booking Calendar, and 5) Connect Groups to a Zoom Account.

On every Tutor’s Profile, there will be a Booking Calendar, and students will be able to check Tutor Availability and book lessons in advance.

Tutor Guidelines

Please read through these tutor guidelines

Profile Completion

Please complete all the sections within the profile. If the profile is incomplete, you will be removed from Tutors Directory.

Please use your own profile picture instead of an image or avatar. If you don’t feel comfortable adding your picture, then use the default avatar instead.

Please only give a brief summary of your academic background, and tutoring experience. 

It is highly recommended that you set your Hourly Rate close to the average. If you set your rate too high, you might struggle to get new student inquiries.

Try to be focused with your Subject Choices, only select the subjects that you’re really good at teaching.

Groups

Create one group for each subject that you’re offering. Group name should be short and relevant to the subject.

As a Tutor, you cannot join other Tutors’ Groups. The Groups are only meant for students.

When creating a new Group, please do NOT send invitations to students to join your group. If a student is interested in joining your group, they will send you a request.

All Tutor Groups should be Private, to protect the privacy of students. All Group Settings must be strictly controlled by the Tutor, and only the Tutor is allowed to send messages in the group.

Please connect your groups to a Zoom account, to allow lessons to be scheduled from each group. Please click the “Setup Wizard” button in Group Zoom settings to guide you step by step.
