A complete profile is essential.
Before you start your search, fill out your profile as completely as possible.
Your profile is the first thing students or their parents will look at. Your profile acts like a CV in a traditional job application, so make sure your profile is complete before you apply:
- Upload a nice photo of yourself
- Ask former students for a positive review: you can get up to 2 reviews from outside the platform!
- Write an appealing description text about your tutoring.
- Check if your hourly wage is in the same range as the hourly wage of other tutors in your region.
- You can upload reference letters, references, diplomas or other relevant proof of employment at any time in “My documents”.
Read job offers carefully
Once you have found a suitable offer, read it carefully to see if all the details are right for you. It is best to apply only for suitable job offers. This will give you the best chance of getting the job you want.
Individual messages
Take some time with your application and write a message tailored to the respective job offer, being as specific as possible about the job offered.
This way you show your interest and increase your chances of getting the jobs you want.
Keep an eye on current jobs
In the search, you can sort the jobs by date of creation. This way you always see the latest jobs at the top of the list and can apply quickly.
Check the employer’s login date
Check the employer’s login date from time to time, especially if a job offer was created a long time ago. The rule of thumb: If the last login was today, yesterday or this week – apply! If the last login was this month or more than a month ago – don’t bother!
Search radius
Remember that it is much easier if the job is close to you so you don’t have to travel a long way each time. Think about which places are easy for you to get to and which are out of the question. Consider whether you would like to offer online tutoring, as this would allow you to take on tutoring jobs in other cities.
