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

What to put on your profile page

Your Websta profile is a simple website for your tutoring or teaching business. It should tell potential clients what you teach, who you work with, and how to reach you.

The core sections are a description of what you do, the subjects or skills you teach, information about your background or qualifications, photos, and contact details. Many tutors add their teaching approach - for example, whether you teach one-to-one, small groups, or online. If you work with specific age groups or levels (primary, secondary, adult learners, exam preparation), make this clear.

Your profile can include a booking system where clients book lessons directly, or a contact form where they request a quote or ask questions first. Many independent tutors use the quote request option so they can discuss schedules and rates before confirming a booking.

Which languages to use

Luxembourg has three official languages - Luxembourgish, French and German - and many residents also speak English or Portuguese. Your profile language depends on who you teach and where.

If you teach Luxembourgish or German, publish your profile in Luxembourgish and German so local searchers find you easily. If you teach French or English, or if you work with international families, add those languages too. If you teach multiple subjects to mixed groups, publishing in two to three languages gives you wider reach across Luxembourg's diverse population.

At minimum, your profile should be clear in the language or languages you actually teach in. Websta allows you to set your profile language when you create it.

How people in Luxembourg search for tutors

On Websta, people in Luxembourg search for tutors in the education category. They search by location - their town or the area they live in - and by the subject or skill they need. Someone looking for maths tutoring in Esch-sur-Alzette will see profiles of tutors offering maths in that area.

Clients can also post a task on the marketplace: they describe what they need (subject, level, availability) and tutors nearby make offers on that task. This works well if you want to reach people who are actively looking but haven't yet decided which tutor to contact.

To be found, your profile needs an accurate location (the town or area where you work) and a clear description of what you teach. If you teach across multiple towns in Luxembourg, mention this on your profile.

What to sort out as an independent provider in Luxembourg

Luxembourg requires independent workers to register their business. If you are self-employed, you must register with the competent authority in your area - usually the commune or the chamber of commerce. Check with your local commune office or the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce for current registration requirements and any tax obligations.

Payment on Websta goes through Stripe to your own bank account. You set your own rates. You are responsible for your own taxes, social contributions and any insurance. Luxembourg has different rules for self-employed people and salaried employees, so confirm your status with your local tax authority before you start.

If you are tutoring online or across multiple locations, check whether any additional permits or registrations are needed. This varies depending on whether you work from home, rent a space, or teach in clients' homes. Your commune should advise you.

What to write in your first hour

Start with the basics: your name (or business name if you use one), your location, and the main subjects you teach. Write a short paragraph about what you offer - for example, 'I offer one-to-one maths tutoring for secondary students' or 'English conversation lessons for adults, online and in-person'.

Add your contact details, the typical lesson format (one-to-one, group, online, in-person), and any key qualifications or experience. You do not need to write a long biography - a few sentences are enough to start. You can add more detail later.

Upload at least one photo. This can be a professional photo of yourself or a simple image of your tutoring space. Add contact options (phone, email, or use the Websta contact form). Set up either a booking calendar or a quote request form, depending on how you prefer to work.

Once your profile is live, you can edit it anytime. Many tutors add more information gradually as they find out what questions clients ask most often.

Photos and practical details to add later

After your first hour, add more photos if you have them - images of your teaching materials, your workspace, or examples of what a lesson looks like. These help people understand how you work.

Add more detail about your experience, qualifications, or teaching method. If you prepare students for exams, mention which exams. If you teach children with dyslexia or other learning needs, or if you specialize in conversation practice or exam prep, make this clear.

Update your availability if you use the booking system. If you prefer quote requests, you can note your general availability (for example, 'available weekdays after 5pm and weekends') on your profile.
