Use a good-quality photo of just yourself, looking smart and friendly. Students are far more likely to contact a tutor once they can put a face to the name, and no profile goes live without a photo.
What makes a good profile picture
- A clear photo of only you, no group shots.
- Your face clearly visible so students recognise you at your first lesson.
- A headshot rather than a full-body photo, as the thumbnail is small.
- Unfiltered and unedited, including no black-and-white photos, so it reflects your professionalism.
What we can’t accept
- Filtered pictures.
- Pictures not in a 1:1 ratio.
- Group pictures.
- Badly cropped pictures that obscure your face.
- Pictures with sunglasses.
- Distant pictures.
- Unprofessional pictures, such as those holding alcohol.
- Low-quality or low-resolution pictures.
Recommended format
Aim for a square image (1:1 ratio), minimum 800 x 800 pixels.
