Profile Setup Requirements

To pass profile moderation successfully, tutors need to have the following:

✅ a profile description
✅ an introduction video
✅ a profile photo
✅ a cover image (thumbnail)

All of the above-mentioned must be submitted according to the Profile Setup Requirements. Otherwise, your profile may be hidden from the LiveXP tutor catalog and sent for further profile post-moderation. If it happens, such profiles become unavailable for bookings unless all the required changes are made.

Please note, that only users who are over 18 years old can be registered as tutors on LiveXP.

Description

💫
Let your potential students know what makes you a great tutor. What are your strengths? What's your teaching style?

Not acceptable:

❌  Sharing any links to websites offering similar services or personal social media.
❌  Adding your private contact information (email, phone number, billing address).
Typos and grammar mistakes. Proofread the texts in the profile description before you publish them.

💫
Keep these questions in mind and answer them while filling in the "About me" section:
✔️ What are your teaching style and method?
✔️ What are your strengths as a tutor?
✔️ How rich is your teaching experience?
✔️ What are the things you can help your students with?
✔️ What is the age of your target audience? What is the proficiency level of your target audience?


Good to have:

✅ In profile settings, choose all the languages you can teach in.

Make your LiveXP title short and specific since it will appear on your tutor card. E.g., Certified ESL tutor.

When filling in the Name field in your LiveXP Profile details (the name visible to everyone), use your actual name or the name you'd prefer potential students to address you by. Avoid marketing slogans or service descriptions. Keep it simple and authentic.

✅ If you've used a random username, ensure you fill in the real name field so others know how to address you.
