The Onboarding Process

TutorLingua's onboarding wizard helps you set up everything you need in 6 simple steps:

Step 1: Profile Basics

Fill in your basic information:

  • Full name - How students will see you
  • Username - Your unique booking URL (e.g., tutorlingua.co/book/yourname)
  • Timezone - Ensures bookings display in the correct time
  • Profile photo - A professional photo helps build trust

Step 2: Professional Info

Add details about your tutoring experience:

  • Tagline - A short description (e.g., "Native Spanish tutor with 5 years experience")
  • Bio - Tell students about your teaching style and background
  • Website (optional) - Link to your portfolio or social media

Step 3: Languages & First Service

Set up what you teach:

  • Languages you teach - Select from our list of supported languages
  • Your first service - Create your first lesson type with:
    • Service name (e.g., "Conversational Spanish")
    • Duration (30, 45, 60 minutes, etc.)
    • Price per session

Step 4: Availability

Define when you're available for lessons:

  • Set your weekly recurring schedule
  • Add different time slots for each day
  • All times are automatically converted to your students' timezones

Step 5: Calendar Sync (Optional)

Connect your existing calendar to prevent double-bookings:

  • Google Calendar
  • Microsoft Outlook

This step is optional but highly recommended.

Step 6: Payment Setup

Choose how you want to receive payments:

  • Stripe Connect - Accept card payments directly (recommended)
  • Manual payments - Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or bank transfer

After Onboarding

Once you complete onboarding, you'll have access to:

  • Your dashboard with booking overview
  • Your public booking page to share with students
  • Student management tools
  • Analytics to track your business

Next Steps

  • Set up your first service to customize your offerings
  • Share your booking link with students
  • Connect your calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts
