How to Search Tutors Properly
Use filters the right way, narrow by real fit, and build a shortlist before spending coins.
Step-by-step
Follow the guide in order
1) Start with subject and level
- Pick the exact subject first, then the correct academic level.
- Avoid broad browsing across unrelated levels; it wastes time and unlock budget.
- Save promising profiles to shortlist as you go.
2) Refine by city and mode
- For home tuition, filter by city/area to avoid distance mismatch.
- For online classes, prioritize tutors with clear online teaching details.
- If flexible, compare both home and online options before deciding.
3) Build a shortlist before unlock
- Keep at least 3-5 tutor profiles in shortlist before unlocking any contact.
- Compare profile quality, relevance, and trust signals side-by-side.
- Unlock only profiles where you are ready to send a serious first message.
Avoid these
Common mistakes
- Searching with only one broad keyword and no filters.

- Unlocking randomly without a shortlist.
Checklist
Important notes
