For university-level tutors
A site that reads like a specialist, not a listing
University-level tutoring is not the same product as school revision, and it should not be sold on the same page. Your students are choosing someone to help with a dissertation, a methods chapter, or a resit that decides their degree. They are buying judgement, and judgement has to be demonstrated before a rate is mentioned.
That takes room: what you work on, how you work, what a session actually looks like, and a sample of your thinking. A directory profile has no room. A site does.
The problem
What gets in the way for academic tutors
High-stakes students research you properly
Someone paying for dissertation support will read everything they can find about you first. If the only thing to read is a 300-character bio, you lose to whoever wrote more.
Academic-integrity boundaries need stating up front
You need a page that says clearly what you will and will not do — coaching and feedback, not writing their work. Saying it publicly filters out the enquiries you do not want and reassures the ones you do.
Your rate needs context to survive comparison
On a price grid your rate looks high. Next to your background, your subject, and what a session covers, it looks like a reasonable price for a specialist.
What to do
How to set the site up
Write one page per thing you actually get asked for
Dissertation methods, thesis structure, a specific software package, a specific exam. Each one is a page, and each page is how a stranger finds you.
Publish your working boundaries
A short, plain policy on what your help includes does more for trust than any testimonial.
Let past students speak on your own domain
Collect reviews on your site, where they stay yours, rather than on a platform you might leave.
Questions tutors ask
How do I show credibility without breaching student confidentiality?
Describe the shape of the work rather than the person: the subject, the level, the problem, and what changed. No names, no institutions, no identifying detail. Ask before quoting anyone.
