How to set up a Websta profile as a tutor or teacher in Czechia

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is your own profile page, with a contact form and online booking. Unlike a social media page, it looks like a small website and appears in search results when people in Czechia look for tutors near them.

Start with the core sections: a description of who you are and what you teach; a list of the subjects or skills you offer; photos of yourself or your teaching space; and a way for students or parents to contact you or book a session. Websta lets you add an online booking calendar if you want students to reserve time directly, or a simple contact form if you prefer to reply with availability and terms.

Write clearly about your qualifications, experience, age groups you teach, and whether you offer one-to-one sessions, group classes, online lessons, or a mix. If you teach multiple subjects or age ranges, list each one as a separate service on your profile. This helps the Websta search algorithm show your profile to the right people.

Languages to publish in

Publish your profile in Czech if you teach in Czech or to Czech speakers. If you teach English, German, French or another language to Czechs, write your profile description and service titles in Czech, and mention the language you teach in the service description.

If you are a native speaker of another language and teach that language to Czechs, a Czech-language profile reaches more local students. You can add a note that you also speak English if that helps international families find you.

How people search for tutors in Czechia

Parents and students in Czechia use Websta's marketplace to find tutors by subject and town. They enter the subject they need - such as 'matematika' (mathematics), 'anglicka jazyka' (English language), or 'hudba' (music) - and their location, and Websta shows nearby profiles. Some people use the task board to post a request and wait for tutors to make offers.

To be found, your profile needs a clear list of what you teach and the town or towns where you work. Websta shows profiles based on proximity, so if you teach in Prague, Brno, Ostrava or anywhere else, make sure your location is accurate.

What to sort out about independent work in Czechia

If you work as an independent tutor or teacher, you need to register this activity with the Czech tax authority. This is called 'zivnost' (a trade license). You can ask at the local municipal authority in your town about the steps to register. The rules and paperwork depend on whether you work as a sole trader, a small business, or under another arrangement.

When you receive payments through Websta, they come to your own bank account via Stripe. Keep records of this income for your tax return. If you are unsure about your tax obligations or how to register, contact a local tax office or a Czech accountant who advises tutors.

Photos for your profile

Add a clear, recent photo of yourself. This helps parents and students trust your profile. You can also add photos of your teaching space, materials you use, or a whiteboard setup if you teach online.

Photos do not need to be professional, but they should be bright, in focus, and show you as you appear in person. Avoid very old or heavily edited images.

What to write in your first hour

Start with a short description of yourself: your name, what you teach, and how long you have been teaching. For example: 'I teach English and French to adults and secondary school students. I have ten years of experience and offer one-to-one lessons and small group classes both online and in person in Brno.'

List each subject or service as a separate item so that the search function works well. Use clear names: 'Anglicka jazyka pro deti' (English for children), 'Matematika pro zakladni skolu' (Mathematics for primary school), 'Online lekce - francouzstina' (Online lessons - French).

Add your town or towns, and explain the format of your lessons: online, in person, or both. Set up a contact form or booking calendar so people can reach you. If you use an online platform like Zoom or Google Meet, mention it. You can always add more detail and photos later.

Payments and setting your own rates

On Websta, you set the price for each service you offer. When a student pays through your profile page or books a session, the payment goes to your own bank account through Stripe. You control your own rates and can change them at any time.
