What the profile should contain

Treat the profile page like a compact website. Include a clear headline, a two-line summary, a full description, an explicit list of services, a languages field, contact details, and an option for booking or quote requests. People skim, so lead with what you teach and who you teach it to.

Use the description to explain formats you offer - in-person, online, group, or one-on-one - and the typical lesson length. Avoid long biographies as the first text block; save full background and methods for a separate section or the bottom of the page.

  • Headline - subject and target group (example: "English conversation for adult learners")
  • Two-line summary - what you deliver and a clear call to contact or book
  • Services - list each subject, level and format separately
  • Languages - which languages you teach in and any exam preparation
  • Contact - phone, email or the Websta contact form and booking option

Photos and media to include

Choose photos that show you teaching or the learning environment. A clear professional headshot is important; add 2 or 3 context photos such as a whiteboard in use, a screenshot from an online lesson, or teaching materials. If you teach children, use photos that respect privacy rules and obtain permission where needed.

Avoid generic stock images that do not reflect your actual session. Keep file names simple and add short captions that explain what the image shows.

  • Headshot - close and well lit
  • Workspace - classroom, desk or online screen
  • Materials - example worksheet or board snapshot with brief caption

How to list services and lesson details

List each service as a separate item: e.g. one-on-one grammar sessions, conversation practice, exam preparation, or group workshops. For each service include the typical duration and what a first lesson covers. If you accept online lessons, state the platform(s) you use and any technical requirements.

If Websta offers optional online booking on your page enable it when you can keep to scheduled times. Otherwise direct people to request a quote or send a message via the contact form and state usual response time.

  • Separate services by subject and format
  • Add duration and expected outcomes for each service
  • Note whether you travel, teach at home, or work online

How people find you in the marketplace and search

Profiles appear in the local marketplace at the path /marketplace/education and in search results for the subject and town you list. Use plain keywords in your headline and summary - think what a student would type, such as "math tutor Tallinn" or "German lessons beginner". The marketplace filters by category and place, so make sure your listed town and services match how you work.

Respond quickly to messages. Visibility improves when you get and answer enquiries reliably. If you have niche skills, include those phrases in the description and service list so searches match your page.

  • Match service names to common search terms
  • Ensure town and delivery method (online/in-person) are explicit
  • Keep your summary and first service line keyword-focused

Languages and student profiles

Clearly list the languages you can teach in and the languages you use to explain concepts. Many students search for lessons in a specific language, so add both your teaching language and the student language options.

Specify target students - adults, primary school, high school, university, or corporate training - and mention any curriculum or exam focus only if relevant to the service you provide.

  • List teaching languages separately from subjects
  • Add target student groups and exam or curriculum focus if applicable

First-hour checklist: what to write and upload

The first hour should prioritise clarity. Fill these items first so your page is searchable and contactable, then refine later.

After the quick setup, check how your profile appears in the marketplace and search for the terms you expect students to use.

  • Headline and two-line summary
  • Three services with short descriptions and durations
  • Teaching languages and town or delivery area
  • One headshot and two contextual photos
  • Contact method and enable booking or note response time

How to handle enquiries and update the page

Reply to messages promptly and keep service listings up to date. If you change availability or add a new course, edit the service list and summary. Track which search phrases bring contacts and adapt your headline and keywords accordingly.

If you already operate elsewhere, keep the Websta profile consistent with other listings so students see the same services and contact details across platforms.

  • Set a standard response time and state it on the profile
  • Regularly review the summary and service keywords based on enquiries
