Your information cannot be viewed by any user, even tutors. Contact information is shown only to a tutor when you purchase their contact details. Your profile only displays your first name, town, subjects, hourly rates, availability, and comments about yourself. Only our verification team can view documentation to decide if it meets our criteria for approval.

Your messages are stored in "My Inquiries." Be sure that you are logged in first. Click on "Members Area," followed by "My Inquiries." You will be able to read any messages you have sent, as well as messages received from students.

Students can decide whether to choose you or not. Therefore, you can try to improve your profile to get more messages. Maybe your hourly rate is too high or you don`t travel far enough. Also, ensure that you have uploaded documentation that includes your qualifications, your ID, etc. Many times, those forms of documentation increase your chances of being chosen. Don`t worry too much about it or give up. There are many students out there that can benefit from your teaching skills and expertise. To help improve your chances, you can view what students have looked at your profile by clicking "Who Found Me?" within your account area. This tool gives you the opportunity to reach out and contact them.

Yes, your messages always get sent. When you choose not to accept a student, it only stops them from being able to purchase your contact details. Tutor Hunt recommends that you find out more information about the student`s requirements before accepting to work with them.

If you have a CRB/DBS certificate, it is best and strongly encouraged that you upload it to your profile to strengthen and build your credibility. You want to make your profile as appealing as possible to students, as well as parents of students.

A CRB/DBS cannot be obtained directly and can only be obtained through an employer. We are aware that this prevents many tutors from having it. Therefore, your profile will still be active whether you have one or not. If you will be tutoring students 18 years of age or under, please ensure that a parent or guardian is present.

Tutor Hunt accepts English and Scottish Enhanced CRB/DBS certificates.

To upload all your documentation, click on "Members Area" and then "Verification." Make sure the documentation is readable! To become a verified tutor, you must upload relevant documents like your ID, qualifications, and DBS.

Tutor Hunt takes privacy and your personal data very seriously. We are registered with the Information Commissioner`s Office and encrypt all personal documents that you upload to our servers. Only the admin team can view your uploaded documents, in order to approve or deny your application. Your docs are never shown to any user on Tutor Hunt, period.

Writing your own articles and uploading them helps boost your profile! To get ideas on what to write about, you can visit our "Resources" page. Please note that the content MUST be your work and not copied in any form from other sources. To add an article, click the "Members Area" and then "Articles." Files and pictures cannot be uploaded. Therefore, the content must be pasted on the page.

To edit subjects and rates, go to the members area and click "My Subjects." There will be a pen and paper icon that directs you to the correct page for making your adjustments.

If you are currently not available to students, you can temporarily deactivate your account. This will prevent others from being able to message you. A note will appear on your profile page stating that you are unavailable. To deactivate your account on a temporary basis, visit the member`s home page and click on "Privacy," followed by "Profile Status" to change your account to inactive. When you need to reactivate, simply follow the same steps, but select the option to reactivate your account.
