We're excited to have you join GradPal! Before you begin, here's what you can expect, how you'll benefit, and what you'll need to prepare.
• Reach learners everywhere – no matter where you are, you'll meet students from all over the world. • Flexibility with earnings – you can decide how much to charge, and our pricing options help you present your value clearly. • Secure and simple payments – everything is handled through Stripe or PayPal, so you can focus on teaching. • Easy scheduling – easily specify when you are open for session invitations from students. • Room to grow – your profile, reviews, and achievements will highlight your strengths as you build your reputation.
• Personal Information: A few basics, like the language you teach in, where you're based, and your timezone. Your academic background – so students see the real value of your achievements. • Your university or alumni email – this is important: it allows us to verify your academic affiliations, so no one can falsely claim to be from your institution. This maximizes the credibility and value that students see when choosing. • Whether you've landed a role at Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, BCG, Google, or anywhere else, we want you to be able to showcase that. Once your university affiliation is verified, you can also verify your professional experience—opening the door to becoming not just a tutor, but a mentor and guide to eager learners who want to follow in your footsteps. • A personal statement – so your teaching style and story come through in your own words. • An optional introduction video – to create an instant connection with students. • Your availability – so students know when you're open for lessons without confusion.
1. Personal Information: A few basics, like the language you teach in, where you're based, and your timezone. This helps students know when and how they can learn with you. 2. Academic & Professional Profile: This is your chance to share your background—your studies, professional experience, and what you've accomplished. You'll also be able to add a personal statement and a short introduction video so students can feel confident choosing you. 3. Subjects & Pricing: You'll be able to choose from a list of subjects we provide (and if you teach something that isn't listed, you can always add it). We've created an easy and convenient way to organize your subject pricing levels depending on the rates you want to offer, while still giving you maximum flexibility to set things up in a way that works for you. 4. Payment & Verification: Connecting your payout account through Stripe or PayPal makes sure you receive your earnings smoothly. Verification documents are just a way to keep the community safe. 5. Schedule & Availability: An easy and comprehensive calendar that allows you to set the times you're available to teach. 6. Terms & Policies: A quick review of how GradPal handles cancellations, refunds, and fair use. This is all about making sure both you and your students have a clear understanding. 7. Confirmation: Once everything is ready, you'll go live—and students can start finding and booking sessions with you.
Your GradPal profile is your professional storefront. The more complete and authentic it is, the more students you'll attract. Take time to prepare your details so that students can understand exactly how you will be a good fit for them — it will pay off once you go live!
