Most tutors get their first lesson within 2 weeks of signing up.
There are two main factors which will affect how long it takes you to get your first lesson.
The first factor which will affect how quickly you get your first lesson is how proactive you are on the site.
Tutor requests are a great way of advertising your availability, as is having an up to date profile with a well-worded resume and engaging video resume. Most tutors find their first tutee within a couple of weeks of joining. If you’re feeling a little lonely with no tutees, just
get in touch and we’ll see what we can do to help.
The second is the time of year during which you sign up. Tutoring is a seasonal business which has it’s peak in the period before GCSEs and A-levels and the quietest period during the summer holiday. Therefore, signing up in April may mean that you can find tutees much more quickly than if you sign up in July. However, the rule of thumb is the sooner you sign up, the better – there are always parents looking to get in touch with tutors!
