Usage guide for tutors
Dear Tutor,
We are glad you’ve joined BBenny study. We’re here to help our students to improve their skills. So, let’s enjoy teaching together!
Below are some tips on how to navigate the site and how to use some of the features:
- After the approval, the Admin will provide the access to you. Login using the same username, email and password you used during your registration.
After logging in, you will be taken to the tutor's Personal Account. Click on the green button with the bell (see the picture below) to learn about the Dos and Don’ts and the lesson cancellation policy. You can learn more about the rules by going to the Tutors Terms and Conditions page.
- By clicking on the Edit account, you can set up your profile. Specify detailed information about yourself, tell your future students about your experience, background, achievements, so that potential students can see it. Please indicate which languages you speak and add information about your interests. Upload your Avatar (max size is 5 mb).
- Click on My Password, to change your password. If you have problems with the password, write to Admin and he will help you.
- In the My Lessons tab, choose video platforms for your lessons (Zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams). If you are going to teach Chinese students, we recommend that you download Voov Tencent (this platform can be linked to any phone number), since most Chinese students cannot use Zoom and Google Meet.
You should also upload the introduction video. Choose either a video file from your computer (50 MB Max) or attach a link to your introduction video on the YouTube. You should be clearly visible and audible in the video, this will help students make a choice in your favor.
- Use My Messages tab to communicate with your students. It is important that as soon as you receive a lesson request from a student and find out student's name, do not hesitate to write to him/ her. Greet your student and ask clarifying questions, if any. You can also use "My messages" to send homework or other teaching materials.
If your files are too heavy and you can't send them, write to the AdminRUS and he'll help you. Please note that the exchange of personal contacts with students is prohibited and is only possible with the approval of the BBenny study.
- Use the My Schedule tab to manage your schedule. Set up working days and weekends so that your future students know about your availability. The Calendar Time zone will be automatically linked to the Time Zone set on your computer. Note that students can book lessons no earlier than 12 hours before the start.
- You can use My Schedule tab to create your own lessons. Choose “Services” – Add Service and describe your lesson, specify the age and level of your students, and set the price). You can create several types of lessons - i.e. for children and teenagers, for adults, Business, grammar, pronunciation, conversational practice, etc
- Use the Payment tab to create a payment request and track all your payments. We use Wise, Alipay and СБП to transfer tutor's money. Your request will be generated only if you have at least $100 in your account, as BBenny study covers a transfer fee.
Good luck!
