Sending proposals is only half the job. This article covers practical ways to stand out, move from proposal to offer, and get hired.
In this article
Start with a strong profile
Learners check your profile before hiring. A complete, verified profile with clear skills and experience makes your proposals far more credible. See the Profile & Verification section.
Tailor every proposal
Generic proposals rarely win. Reference the learner’s exact goal, level, and listed skills, and explain specifically how you’d help. Quality beats quantity.
Respond quickly
Apply to fresh posts and reply to messages and invitations promptly. Learners often hire the tutors who engage first and clearly.
Offer a demo
A free demo lets a hesitant learner see your teaching first-hand and is one of the strongest ways to convert interest into a hire. See the Demo & Live Sessions section.
From offer to hired
When a learner is convinced, the proposal moves toward a contract or offer. Watch for Offer Received, then Review & Accept Offer to become Hired. The Offers & Contracts section explains this step in detail.
FAQs
Why aren’t my proposals converting?
Common causes: an incomplete profile, generic cover letters, or slow responses. Tighten all three and consider offering a demo.
Does offering a demo really help?
Yes. Seeing you teach builds trust quickly and often tips a learner toward hiring you.
How do I finalise the hire?
Review and accept the learner’s offer. See the Offers & Contracts section for the full process.
