Step 6 - Address (location on the map) - We need your exact location on the google map to send you relevant enquiries only from localities near to your place. , This will also help us to show you a map of how to reach the prospective students place from your address.

However, if you wish to share the full address, you can set the ‘display full address’ preference on the address page.

Step 7 - Profile Picture - "A picture is worth a thousand words", a good profile picture of yours will create a very positive impression on the students! It will act as a voice for your profile for whoever visits your account. Hence, it is mandatory that you upload a good profile picture. Tutors or institutes with credible profile pictures are given 1st preference by students and parents, improving your chances of getting shortlisted. Your photo size should be at least 100px wide and maximum up to 10MB in size in .jpg, .png, .gif or.bmp format only.

Note: Institutes can use their logos as a profile picture.

Step 8- UrbanPro Verified Badge: Trust is an important factor when it comes to selecting a tutor. Students always look for someone whom they can rely on and one who can help them throughout their learning process. Earning an UrbanPro Badge will help you in building trust among students and increase the visibility of your profile. To get a urbanpro verified badge on your profile, you need to update your Identity document (PAN Card/ Drivers License/ Aadhar Card) and certificates supporting your education. After our team verifies these documents a verified badge will be given to you.

Step 9 - Qualification & Experience- Tutor qualification and experience help students and parents decide if the tutor will be able to meet their required learning needs. So, enter the details and increase your selection chances!      

• Education- Education is one of the important reasons to get hired. Starting from graduate degrees, professional development courses to certifications, mention every educational degree that you hold or are pursuing, to prove the credibility of your knowledge. 
• Languages you speak- students might prefer to learn from tutors who speak their language. So, mentioning the languages you speak will help in improving your chances of being selected by a student. For example, we hear students who say, “We want to learn English from a Tamil medium tutor.”
• Summary of experience- Many Students and parents may not have the time to go through your entire profile. So, a good summary will convey the right information that students/parents are looking for without demanding much time of theirs. A description example: I am an experienced, qualified teacher and tutor with over 15 years of experience in teaching Maths and Chemistry, across different boards including CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE and State Board. Passionate about solving mathematical problems and chemical equations, over the years I have helped thousands of students overcome their fear of Maths and Chemistry. So far, I have worked as a Teacher with Presidency School (Bangalore), DPS (Bhagalpur) and Kendriya Vidyalaya (Nagpur).

Step 10 - Tutoring Information- The more information you provide on your profile, lower are the chances of student rejecting you, when he reaches out to you. Students often say “I want a Tutor who teaches selective students only”. Hence this section allows you to tell the world whether you are a full-time or a part-time tutor and how many students you teach.  Don’t forget to save changes once done. 

Step 11 -  Gallery - Students and Parents want to know more about your teaching style, your class ambience, your notes etc. Your gallery section allows you to upload intro video/ photos/ videos/ documents to answer all such queries of your audience. An intro video is one of the most important pieces of your profile, think of it as your 90 seconds sales pitch to the Student of why they should select you over others. Get going and upload all the material you can for your profile and get your prospective students excited. (Please note any of these documents should not have your contact details, else our teams will have to reject the document)

Note: Make sure to answer the mandatory questions marked in (*)
