A guided start

Your story.
One step at a time.

We’ll guide you through your account, location, teaching details and credentials. Review everything before submitting.

  1. Tell us about yourself

    Your contact information stays private. Your profile tells families what you teach and how you work.

  2. Share your credentials

    Tell us about your qualifications. Document verification is handled separately with the TUTSA team.

  3. Get ready to be discovered

    Your profile starts as a draft for review. We’ll guide you through the next steps before it goes live.

Before you
get started.

Who can join TUTSA?

Independent tutors who can accurately describe their subjects, experience and qualifications. Profiles are reviewed before being published.

Do you take commission?

No. Tutors set their own rates and keep their lesson earnings. The directory membership is a separate monthly fee.

Do I need a card to register now?

No. Joining is free, and your first 2 months cost nothing. Once your profile is live you can save a card so your membership carries on when the trial ends. We confirm it with a R1.00 charge that is refunded straight away, and we never see or store your card number.

Is my phone number public?

No. Your contact details are used for your account and enquiries. Your phone number is not displayed on your public profile.

Give families a proper introduction

A profile with
something to say.

Your experience deserves more than a name and a phone number. Use your profile to show the context you teach in and help families begin a more useful conversation.

BE SPECIFIC

Tell families what you really teach.

Choose the subjects, grades and curricula you are comfortable supporting. Describe the topics you work with and the kinds of learning goals you can help a family discuss.

A focused profile can be more informative than selecting every option. Be accurate about your qualifications and experience, and explain how they relate to the work you offer.

BE HUMAN

Let your approach come through.

Explain how you begin with a new learner, how you make space for questions and how you adapt when an explanation does not land. Use clear language a parent and learner can understand.

Avoid promises of guaranteed results. Give families a realistic picture of how you work and what you would want to learn about their situation before planning lessons.

BE PRACTICAL

Make it easy to see the fit.

Set out the areas you cover, whether you teach online or in person, your lesson rates and a useful summary of your availability. Families need those details alongside the introduction.

When someone enquires, confirm the current times, lesson length and any travel arrangements. Your published rate is a starting point for a clear agreement.

BE RESPONSIVE

Carry the conversation forward.

Use an email address you check regularly. Read the learner’s context before replying, ask for the information you need and be clear about whether you can offer the requested support.

You decide which enquiries to accept. If the fit is right, agree on the lesson plan, schedule, payment and cancellation arrangements directly with the family.

Before you start the registration

A few details
worth having ready.

The registration guides you through five stages: account, location, teaching details, credentials and review. You can move back through the stages before submitting.

  1. Your contact and location information

    Have a current email address and phone number ready, together with your suburb, city and province. Choose the areas you cover for in-person lessons or select online teaching.

  2. Your teaching introduction

    Prepare a short headline and a useful description of your experience and approach. Select the subjects, grades, curricula and languages that accurately represent your offering.

  3. Your rates and availability

    Decide on your starting hourly rate and, if relevant, a rate range. Add a practical availability note and indicate whether you offer a complimentary introductory call.

  4. Your qualification information

    Provide the qualification, institution and completion year where available. The TUTSA team arranges identity and qualification document verification separately after registration.

Your practice stays yours

Set your hours.
Choose your work.
Keep your lesson earnings.

You are an independent tutor, responsible for your own services and the agreements you make with families. TUTSA gives your profile a place in the directory and routes enquiries to you; it does not employ you or manage your lessons.

The flat membership fee is separate from your tutoring income. There is no commission deducted from lessons and no promise of a set number of enquiries. Your subjects, location, availability and how clearly you introduce yourself all form part of the information a family considers.

A few more membership details

Know what you’re joining.

What happens after I submit my profile?

Your account is created and your tutor profile starts as a draft. The team reviews the information and guides you through the next steps, including document verification. Registration alone does not publish a profile.

Does listing guarantee enquiries or work?

No. TUTSA provides directory visibility and enquiry routing. Families choose who to contact, and a listing does not guarantee a particular number of enquiries, lessons or earnings.

Am I employed by TUTSA?

No. You operate independently and arrange lessons directly with families. Your responsibilities and the platform relationship are set out in the Tutor Platform Agreement.

How should I send identity documents?

Document verification is arranged separately with the TUTSA team. The current registration captures your qualification information but does not ask you to upload identity documents. Do not put identity numbers or document images in your public biography.

Where can I read the billing and cancellation details?

The Subscription Terms set out the membership arrangements, billing and cancellation. No card details are requested and no payment is taken when you create your account.
