How to build a Websta profile as a tutor or teacher in Greece

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is a single page that acts as your online base. It includes sections for your services, photos, contact details and booking or quote requests. For tutors in Greece, this means setting out clearly what you teach, who you teach (primary, secondary, university students, adults), and how you work (in-person, online, or both).

Start with a short description of what you do. Mention the subjects or skills you cover - for example, English language, maths tutoring, piano lessons, or test preparation. Say whether you teach children, teenagers or adults. Include your qualifications or years of experience if they are relevant to your market.

Upload photos that show you teaching or your workspace. A clear photo of yourself helps. If you teach online, show your setup. If you work in a physical location, take photos of that space. Keep photos professional and well-lit.

List your services separately if you offer different types of teaching - for instance, one-to-one lessons, group classes, exam preparation, or online tutoring. For each service, write a short description of what the student will learn or achieve.

Languages to publish in

Publish your profile in Greek and English. Most students and parents in Greece search in Greek, but international families and students looking for English tutoring will search in English. If you teach other languages - French, German, Spanish - mention that clearly in your service descriptions, but keep your main profile in Greek and English.

Use simple, direct language in both. Avoid jargon. Write for parents and students who are looking for a tutor quickly, not for academic review.

Booking and quote requests

Websta offers two ways for people to reach you: online booking and quote requests. For tutoring, quote requests often work better than fixed booking slots, because lesson times vary by student and your availability changes.

When someone sends a quote request, they describe what they need - the subject, the level, how many hours per week - and you reply with your terms. This gives you space to discuss the student's needs and agree on a schedule that suits both of you.

If you prefer, you can set up online booking with fixed time slots - for instance, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 18:00 to 20:00. This works if you teach groups or have a set timetable.

How students find tutors in Greece

People search Websta by subject and town. A parent looking for a maths tutor in Athens, for example, will search for 'maths tutoring' and select Athens. Websta shows tutors in that area, sorted by distance or other factors. Your profile appears in that list.

Many searches also happen through the Websta marketplace, where customers can post a task - for example, 'My daughter needs English conversation practice twice a week' - and tutors nearby can see the task and make offers.

This means your location matters. Make sure your profile lists the town or towns where you work. If you teach online, you can serve all of Greece, but you still need to set a base location on your profile.

Students and parents in Greece increasingly search online for tutors rather than asking friends or checking notice boards. Having a profile on Websta puts you in front of people searching now.

What to sort out as an independent provider

If you work as a self-employed tutor in Greece, check your local tax and registration requirements with your municipality or an accountant. Some tutors work as freelancers under a specific professional status; others register as sole traders. The rules vary by region and depend on your income level and whether you are also employed elsewhere.

You will need a way to receive payments. Websta uses Stripe to handle card payments from customers. Money is paid out to your own Greek bank account. Set up a Stripe account and link it to your bank details before you start taking bookings.

Keep records of the lessons you give, the hours, and the amounts paid. You will need these for tax purposes.

If you teach minors, understand data protection rules around storing names, contact details and lesson notes. GDPR applies in Greece.

What to write in your first hour

Start with the essentials. Write a one-paragraph description of what you teach and who you teach. Example: 'I teach English conversation and exam preparation to teenagers and adults. I use online lessons and can also meet in person in [town]. I have 8 years of experience and hold a [qualification].'

List your three to five main services. For each, write two or three sentences. Do not worry about perfect phrasing; clarity matters more.

Add one or two photos - yourself and your workspace if you have one.

Fill in your contact details and location. Choose whether you want quote requests or online booking, or both.

You can edit and improve your profile later. The goal is to go live so people can find you.

The marketplace and profile page

Websta combines two parts: your profile page, where people learn about you, and the marketplace, where customers post tasks and tutors make offers. Your profile is your shop window. The marketplace is where you find new students.

A complete profile - with description, photos, services and contact details - makes you more likely to win tasks when customers post them. Students and parents trust profiles that look complete and professional.
