2. WHY SHOULD I PAY & UPGRADE MY PACKAGE TO GOLD MEMBERSHIP?
Tutors that upgrade their package for any duration become GOLD members.
GOLD membership gives tutors access to advanced tools that are not available to basic members.
You might not know this, but most tutors are required to pay a commission to their tutoring agency EVERY TIME they teach a student. On average, £5 of the hourly rate paid to a tutor by a parent or student is given straight to the agency.
easytuition is COMMISSION FREE and because of this, you gain money! No commission means more of your private tuition earnings go to you!
We charge only a small one-off fee which gives you:
access to personal contact information (with the exception of postal address) for all parents/students
access to FULL PROFILES
enhanced profile status, making your own contact details visible to basic members, thereby increasing the interest in your advert
<p>
3. HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?
Simply follow these 3 easy steps :
STEP 1: create a tutor profile (FREE OF CHARGE)
STEP 2: search our live and online database of student/parent profiles (FREE OF CHARGE)
4. IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE?
easytuition prides itself on being a secure database of user profiles. You can be assured that only users with a genuine interest in finding a tutor have access to your personal information.
Only GOLD members can gain access to your contact details (with the exception of your address) and read your FULL profile. BASIC members can only see a very limited amount of information (town/city, name and subject/level taught).
This means that users will have had to part with some money in order to gain access to your personal details and contact information.

easytuition is the first of its kind. Using our unique features, it is now possible for tutors to advertise their services to anybody with an internet connection.

· PERSONAL STATMENT what makes you the perfect choice?
· UPLOAD PHOTO TOOL upload a photo, a symbol or icon/logo
Remember to declare on your profile, all of the subjects you are qualified to teach as well as your qualifications and previous experience. Again, this extra information will encourage parents/students to select your profile over other profiles with less background information.

Approach.
Understanding the goal your tutee wants to achieve is important, be it that they are looking for a tutor to urgently prepare their child for forth coming examinations or to mentor their child on a regular basis on subjects that they find difficult. Achieving the best tutoring relationship are usually formed when tutors and tutees have common interests as this can make the first lesson more relaxed and productive.
Tutoring time scale.
We recommend the following:
KS2 PRIMARY : 1 hour
KS3 & KS4 SECONDARY : 1 - 1.5 hours
KS5 (AS & A2 LEVEL) : 1 - 2 hours
