How to write a good personal profile

good personal profile This is your opportunity to shine and show off what makes you the right choice of tutor or trainer, so it's important to offer the enquirer a complete overview of who you are, what your achievements have been and what you can offer. Just listing qualifications isn’t enough – they will want to know the person they'ree going to entrust their children’s or their own education with. This sounds obvious but consider what kind of tutor/trainer you are – personal trainer, driving instructor, childcare, training centre etc. Also consider the competition - what's is your USP (unique selling point)?

Make sure it's clear that you're the expert in your field and that you have a full understanding of the exam process and schedule. Also, what else can you offer other than the basic service? It may well be that you have additional advice regarding post-study activity. Here’s a suggested template:

If you haven't yet added your subjects, levels or address location, these must be added for your details to be displayed. Also remember that a fully completed profile will get maximum exposure and therefore be displayed and viewed the most! Here's a list of the fields required to achieve a 100% completed profile.
