Tips for teachers

We want School of Everything to be as good for all you teachers as possible, but how can you get the best out of your teaching profile? Well here are a few tips from Everything HQ to help bag loads of students.

What do you look like? Perhaps most important is to put a good picture on your profile. It makes it 5 times more likely that people will click on your profile. That's a good start isn't it?

Tell us a little bit about yourself. Don't give your life story but filling in this section on your teaching profile helps students decide if you're the teacher for them.

Where are you? Setting your location is very important. Make it as local as possible because all search results are sorted by location first. This is important for cities such as London.

What do you teach? Choose the simplest way of explaining the subject you teach. When adding subjects to your teaching profile it is better to add them separately. i.e. 'French'; 'Spanish' rather than 'French and Spanish' We now automatically show related teachers and subjects (ask Russell from Team Everything about Matchy Matchy).

Keep in touch. There are a number of ways for students to contact you through School of Everything so make sure you're set up for them all. Have you sorted your Marketplace settings? Well you should.

Spread the word. Why not put the link to your School of Everything profile in your email footer? The more you link, the more Google loves you; the more Google loves you, the higher up in Google searches you get; the higher up in Google searches you get, the more people see your teaching profile; the more people see your teaching profile, the more students you get; the more students you get, the happier you get. That's most important. Phew.

Now, over to you - you're the teachers and you know best. What tips do you have to share with other School of Everything members? Add a comment. Please and thank you.
