TUTOR PROFILE FORM

New Tutor Profile Form

This is the form Tutors will complete on the website to setup their Tutor Profile.

"*" indicates required fields

Name*
This is how your name will appear on your public profile. You may list your last initial rather than full last name if you'd like. Or listing entire last name is fine too.
PayPal Business Email*
You must have a PayPal business email setup first. If you don't have a PayPal account setup yet, just open a separate tab and set one up. It takes 5 minutes. A "business" PayPal is better for us than personal PayPal due to tax reporting at the end of the year. You are an independent contractor, so select that when setting up your PayPal account.
