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

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is a simple website that lives on the platform. People nearby search for tutors by subject and location, then visit your page to decide whether to contact you.

Start with a clear description of what you teach and who you teach - for example, whether you work with primary students, adults learning English, or students preparing for exams. Be specific about age groups and proficiency levels.

Add one or two photos of yourself or your teaching space if you teach in person. Keep them professional and straightforward.

List the subjects and services you offer. Examples: English conversation, maths tutoring, piano lessons, Romanian for foreigners, exam preparation (Bacalaureat, IELTS, or other qualifications you prepare people for). You set the prices and control what you display.

Include a booking or quote request option so people can schedule lessons or ask about your availability without hunting for your phone number. You choose how booking works - some tutors prefer to confirm dates in a message first, others allow direct booking.

Add your contact details - at minimum, a way for people to reach you through the platform. You can also add an email or phone number if you prefer.

Which languages to publish your profile in

Publish your profile in Romanian as your main language. This is where most local searches happen.

If you teach English, French, German or other languages, consider adding an English version of your profile. This helps parents and adult learners who search in English, and it shows you are confident in that language.

Websta lets you create profiles in multiple languages, so you can reach both Romanian speakers and people learning languages in Romania.

How people in Romania find tutors

Most searches on Websta for education services happen by subject and town. A parent looking for a maths tutor in Cluj-Napoca, or an adult seeking English lessons in Bucharest, will search that way and see profiles near them.

Some people post a task describing what they need - for example, 'I need someone to help my child with French three times a week' - and providers can make offers. This is useful if you want to see what work is available before committing.

Word of mouth still matters. Parents talk to other parents, and students recommend tutors they know. Your Websta profile gives you a professional page to share when someone asks where to find you.

What to check with local authorities

If you work as an independent tutor or teacher in Romania, check with your local tax office (Directoratul de Impozite si Taxe Locale) about registration requirements. Rules differ slightly depending on whether you work as a self-employed person, a sole trader, or another legal form. The requirements may also differ by county.

You will likely need to register for tax purposes and social contributions. Get clear on what documents you need before you start taking payments.

If you teach from a rented space, check the lease for any clauses about running a business there.

If you tutor minors, verify whether background checks or other safeguarding requirements apply in your region.

Getting paid through Websta

Websta uses Stripe to handle payments. When a student or parent pays through your profile, the money goes to your own bank account - you control the payout process. You set the prices you charge.

Make sure you have a Romanian bank account and that you understand the tax and documentation requirements for receiving payments. Your accountant or tax office can advise on what records to keep.

What to write in your first hour

Start simple. You do not need a perfect profile to go live. Write a short paragraph about what you teach and who you teach - for example: 'I teach English to teenagers and adults, focusing on conversation and exam preparation. Lessons are online or in person in Brasov.'

List the main services: the subjects, age groups, and lesson formats you offer. You can add more detail later.

Upload a clear photo of yourself. This builds trust.

Set your contact method - either bookings through Websta or a request-a-quote form. This gives people a way to reach you.

Add your location - the town or towns where you work. This is how people find you.

Publish. You can edit everything later as you learn what works.

Common concerns when starting

You may worry that your profile needs to be perfect before launch. It does not. Many tutors start minimal and add detail based on questions they get.

If you are unsure about pricing, look at what other tutors in your town charge, then decide what fits your experience and the market. Websta does not set prices for you.

If you teach online, make sure your profile makes that clear. Many students and parents specifically search for online lessons.

Update your availability regularly so people know when you can take new students. This keeps your profile relevant.
