Account Settings
The more complete and detailed your account, the more you will attract students. You may review and edit your account information at any time using the Settings menu.
Customising your account
Personal data
In the Personal data section you can enter your phone number, gender and date of birth. You can also add a photo to your account by selecting a file from your computer.
Address
In the Address section, when typing the first few letters of your town, you will see a drop-down list of all the towns containing these letters. Alongside your town, enter in your house number and street to find local listings easily, or for potential students and clients to find you.
Once you have entered in/filled out all the information for your account, your location will be displayed on our dynamic map. You may also list just your town/city or even just your street, but if only the town is listed you will not show up on our map.
If you have any difficulty finding your address, get help by pressing the “?” button or simply enter it in manually and we will find it for you.
In this section please attach a valid DBS file and a photograph of yourself. We find that tutors who have a personal photograph visible on their profile attract many more students.
Price
You may enter the price of your lessons or cost of your service in the Price section of your account settings. You can also enter lesson duration and the appropriate age of your clients/students. Those who include a price are listed higher in searches than those who have not. The reason is that visible prices attract a greater number of customers.
And remember – TutorExtra does NOT charge a commission for your lessons or services!
Education
In the Education section enter the school/university you last attended, the location of the educational establishment, your specialist subject, degree and degree class (if appropriate).
In the Certificate section you can add scanned copies of your qualifications in .jpg or .png format.
Just below this section there is an opportunity for you to write in more detail about your additional qualifications, experience and achievements. Please remember that the more information you include, the better your chance of attracting the right clients or students.
In the About you section, write a short description of yourself. In the detailed description you can list additional methods of contact such as Skype, Facebook, or a website.
In the Gallery section you can add photos of yourself in .jpg or .png format.
Search
You can search TutorExtra by four criteria: subject, location/postcode, type of service (tutor, learning centre etc.), or the name of a specific organisation or person. Each of these criteria can be entered separately or combined together for more precise searches.
After you’ve entered your desired criteria, a filtered search is carried out. Results are displayed for users in two ways – a list, and a dynamic map.
List mode
List mode displays the accounts of experts matching your criteria alongside a brief photo, activity/training, price, distance from your address and more.
The search can be refined dynamically using the filters located in the left panel – location, photo, gender, subject, experience, age, and more.
Once you have specified the other criteria, you can choose the geographic location you wish to search. This filter is especially useful when searching using our dynamic map.
Map mode
Map mode is suitable for finding experts within a certain radius of a town/city, neighbourhood or street.
When a location is used, approximate or exact addresses are mapped out and the positions of all experts that match the specified search parameters are displayed with markers. You may adjust the search distance in real time anywhere between half a mile and 64 miles, which allows extremely precise searches for experts in your area.
f a specific type of expert (eg. home tutor, driving instructor, dance teacher) is not selected, then all the experts available in the area are displayed on the map. A single mouse click on a specific marker shows information about the expert/organisation. From there, you can contact them by filling in an enquiry form.
To get account views from the map, it is important to enter your street or neighbourhood in the address fields (with or without street numbers).
Enquiry
You can send an enquiry to a registered user in TutorExtra with a single click on the message/query button when viewing their account.
Evaluation
In the account of a particular user, you can submit an opinion using the “like” button underneath the profile picture of the user, or by rating them from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. You may modify your “likes” and “ratings” for any expert/organisation at any time.
