How do I manage my workload and availability?

I'm a Tutor article! Learn how to update your availability, manage your workload, and receive tutoring opportunities that fit your schedule.

You have control over when you tutor. Keeping your availability up to date helps us match you with suitable pupils, students and tutoring opportunities.

If you can't tutor on certain days or at certain times, update your availability as soon as possible to help avoid cancellations.

How do I update my availability?

You can update your overall availability from your tutor account.

To do this:

  1. Log in to your Tutor Account.

  2. Click the drop-down menu under your profile image.

  3. Choose whether you're Available or Unavailable.

  4. If you tutor on both the Schools Programme and privately, select which types of work you're available for.

If you're taking a break or have reached your tutoring capacity, setting yourself as Unavailable will stop you from receiving new tutoring opportunities until you're ready to tutor again.

You can also manage your availability from the Personal details page, which you can access from the drop-down menu under your profile image.

How do I update my weekly timetable?

Your weekly timetable helps show when you're regularly available to tutor.

To update it:

  1. Go to My Profile.

  2. Scroll to the weekly timetable.

  3. Update the days and times you're available.

  4. Click Save and Continue.

If your schedule changes, such as when you receive a new university timetable, remember to update your weekly availability.

How does Boost work?

Boost lets us know you're actively looking for tutoring opportunities.

Boosting your profile:

  • Increases your visibility for new tutoring opportunities.

  • Helps keep your profile active in searches.

Your Boost expires after 7 days, so you'll need to Boost again if you're still looking for work.
