Once your Tutor Resource Page has been approved and you have set up your Tutor Profile, you will appear in search results. Students can contact you directly from your profile page using MoocLab's Private Messaging System or by using the "Contact This Tutor" button on your resource page.
It is important that you log in on MoocLab once a day to check if you have any new messages from students in your Inbox.
What should you do if a student contacts you?
It is important that you log in on MoocLab once a day to check if you have any new messages from students in your Inbox.
What should you do if a student contacts you?
- You should reply quickly so the student knows quickly if they will have a lesson or not.
- Find out what the student wants to gain from a lesson with you and whether you can help.
- If you both agree to go ahead, arrange where and how the lesson will take place (on MoocLab, or using a 3rd party app such as Skype)
- Agree on a day and time to start the lesson
- Add the student to your Skype (or whichever communication tool you will use)
- Be prepared - often, students don't know what to do, so the tutor should start the call to begin the lesson on time.
