This guide walks you through all three sections \u2014 Basic Information, Career Level, and Learning Interest \u2014 so you can finish setup in one sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-this-article\">In this article<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#why-it-matters\">Why your learner profile matters<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#step-1\">Step 1: Fill in your Basic Information<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#step-2\">Step 2: Choose your Career Level<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#step-3\">Step 3: Pick your Learning Interests<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faqs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-it-matters\">Why your learner profile matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tutorac uses your profile to recommend tutors, surface relevant Live Courses and Video Courses, and let trainers send you tailored proposals when you post a Training Requirement. The more accurate and complete your profile, the better your matches \u2014 and the faster you find the right tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get to your profile from anywhere on Tutorac, click your <strong>avatar<\/strong> in the top-right corner and choose <strong>My Profile<\/strong>. You can also go directly to <code>tutorac.com\/student\/profile\/personal-info<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1\">Step 1: Fill in your Basic Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Basic Information<\/strong> tab is the first section in your profile sidebar. Fill in these fields one by one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Profile photo<\/strong> \u2014 Click the circular image at the top. Upload a clear headshot (JPG or PNG). A real photo builds trust with tutors.<\/li><li><strong>Gender<\/strong> \u2014 Select Male or Female.<\/li><li><strong>First name &amp; Last name<\/strong> \u2014 Required. Use the name you want tutors to address you with.<\/li><li><strong>Email<\/strong> \u2014 Pre-filled from your sign-in. It is locked here \u2014 to change it, contact Tutorac support.<\/li><li><strong>Mobile number<\/strong> \u2014 Required. Used for OTP, class reminders, and tutor coordination.<\/li><li><strong>DOB<\/strong> \u2014 Optional. Format: DD-MMM-YYYY.<\/li><li><strong>Country, State, City<\/strong> \u2014 Sets your location for tutor matching and time-zone defaults.<\/li><li><strong>Preferred Time Zone<\/strong> \u2014 Required. All session times you see on Tutorac are converted to this zone.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re done, scroll down and click the green <strong>Update<\/strong> button to save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"1456\" src=\"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/article-09-step1-profile-page-v2.png\" alt=\"Tutorac learner profile \u2014 Basic Information tab with photo, name fields, email, mobile, DOB, country\/state\/city, and time zone selector.\" class=\"wp-image-58\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2: Choose your Career Level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <strong>CAREER LEVEL<\/strong> in the sidebar. Pick the single option that best describes you right now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Current Role &mdash; Technical Professional<\/strong> \u2014 Already working in IT, looking to advance or upgrade your skills.<\/li><li><strong>Current Role &mdash; Non-Technical Professional<\/strong> \u2014 Working in a non-IT role, aspiring to transition into IT.<\/li><li><strong>Graduate Student<\/strong> \u2014 Completed graduation, ready to start your career.<\/li><li><strong>Final Year College Student<\/strong> \u2014 Nearing graduation, preparing for your first job.<\/li><li><strong>Undergraduate Student &mdash; 1st to Pre-Final Year<\/strong> \u2014 Pursuing your degree, focused on building foundations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <strong>Update<\/strong> to save. You can change this any time as your situation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> tutors use your career level to set the right depth for proposals, pricing tiers, and content suggestions. A working professional and a first-year undergraduate often need very different lessons on the same topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/article-09-step2-career-level-v2.png\" alt=\"Tutorac learner profile \u2014 Career Level tab with the five radio options.\" class=\"wp-image-59\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3\">Step 3: Pick your Learning Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <strong>LEARNING INTEREST<\/strong> in the sidebar. This is where you tell Tutorac what you actually want to learn so the platform can recommend tutors and so trainers can reach you with relevant offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Type a topic in the <strong>&ldquo;What would you like to learn?&rdquo;<\/strong> search box, then click the suggestion that appears.<\/li><li>Or pick from the <strong>Trending<\/strong> list below (QA Automation, Data Analytics, Multimedia, FullStack, AWS, Salesforce, Azure, Oracle, Google Cloud Platform, and more).<\/li><li>Each interest you add appears in the <strong>Selected Skills<\/strong> area at the top of the page.<\/li><li>To remove a skill, click the &times; on its chip in Selected Skills.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aim for <strong>3 to 7 skills<\/strong> that reflect your real goals. Too few and you get fewer matches; too many and your recommendations become unfocused. Click <strong>Update<\/strong> to save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/article-09-step3-learning-interest-v2.png\" alt=\"Tutorac learner profile \u2014 Learning Interest tab with the search box, Selected Skills chips, and Trending skills.\" class=\"wp-image-60\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I update my profile later?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. All three sections \u2014 Basic Information, Career Level, and Learning Interest \u2014 can be edited any time from your <strong>My Profile<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is my email locked?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your email is your sign-in identity on Tutorac. To change it, contact Tutorac support from the Help Center so we can verify the new address and update it safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many Learning Interests should I select?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pick 3 to 7 skills that reflect what you actually want to learn now. You can always come back and update the list as your goals evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can see my profile information?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tutors and agencies can see your name, profile photo, location, career level, and learning interests when you message them, send a hiring invite, or post a Training Requirement. Your email, mobile number, DOB, and payment details are never shared with tutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I have to complete all three sections?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic Information and Learning Interest are the most important \u2014 without them Tutorac cannot recommend tutors. Career Level is strongly recommended so proposals are pitched at the right depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I change my profile photo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Go to <strong>Basic Information<\/strong> and click the circular photo at the top to upload a new one. The change is live as soon as you click <strong>Update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"\/help-center\/category\/for-learners\/learners-account-profile\/\">More Account &amp; Profile articles<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/help-center\/category\/for-learners\/learners-finding-hiring-tutors\/\">How to find and hire a tutor on Tutorac<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/help-center\/2026\/05\/14\/how-to-enroll-in-a-live-course-on-tutorac\/\">How to enroll in a Live Course on Tutorac<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/help-center\/category\/for-learners\/learners-safety-trust\/\">Safety &amp; Trust on Tutorac<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#9ca3af;font-size:13px\">Last updated: 20 May 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A complete walkthrough of the three profile sections every Tutorac learner should fill in \u2014 Basic Information (photo, name, location, time zone), Career Level, and Learning Interest \u2014 so the platform can match you with the right tutors and training offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-learners-account-profile","category-for-learners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions\/62"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
