A tutoring website that earns parents' trust
Parents want to know who will teach their child, what you cover and what it costs. PressUp answers all three on one clear site, with an easy way to ask for a first session.
What PressUp can put on your site
What a tutoring website needs
It's a starting point, not a template: ask for more in the chat, and change any of it later.
-
1
Subjects and levels
Families look for help with one subject at one level, like eighth-grade algebra. List what you teach and to whom, from early reading to calculus or SAT and ACT prep, so a parent sees at once that you fit.
-
2
Online and in-person sessions
Families need to see how tutoring fits their week. PressUp lays out where you meet (online, at their home or at a library), how long a session runs, what it costs and your cancellation policy.
-
3
About you
Parents want to know who will sit beside their child. Share your degree, your teaching or tutoring experience and any certification or background check, and upload a friendly photo of yourself in the chat.
-
4
How you help students improve
Parents pay for progress, not just hours. Explain how you start, for example with a short assessment, how you plan sessions and how you keep parents updated, and PressUp puts it in plain words.
-
5
Words from families
A recommendation from another parent carries real weight. Ask the families you tutor for a review by email from your PressUp dashboard, and the reviews they agree to make public appear on your site.
-
6
Session requests
Parents often reach out after a hard test or a worrying report card. A short form asks for the grade, the subject, online or in person and what the student finds hard, then goes to your inbox and your email.
How it works
From a few sentences to a live website
-
Describe your business
Say what you do and where, in your own words. Add screenshots of sites you like, if you have some in mind.
-
Get a site made for it
PressUp plans the pages, writes the words and designs a look that suits your business. It usually takes a few minutes.
-
Change it by asking, then publish
“Add a service.” “Make it feel more premium.” Ask in plain words, undo anything, and publish when you're happy.
Getting found
How families find a tutor
Parents and students search by subject and place, like "math tutor near me", "reading tutor" and a town, or "online chemistry tutor". A site that names each subject, level and area gives search engines a clear match and gives a worried parent an easy next step.
-
A page for each subject or exam
Algebra help, essay writing and SAT prep are separate searches made by different families. Ask in the chat and PressUp gives each subject or test its own page, with the grades you teach.
-
Your local area, and online
If you meet in person, a page for each town or school district you serve helps nearby families find you. If you tutor online, say so plainly, so a student in another state knows you can help too.
-
Your profiles elsewhere
Families also look on Google Maps, Nextdoor and tutoring sites such as Wyzant. Add your website to each profile and to your Google Business Profile, so parents can read the whole story before they write.
Every PressUp site comes with the basics search engines look for: a title and description for each page, your business details in a form Google can read, a sitemap, pages that load fast on phones, and Bing told about your changes when you publish.
Questions
Questions about a tutoring website
Do I need a website if I find students through a tutoring platform?
Platforms help you start, but many take a share of every lesson and list you beside other tutors. Your own site is where families who heard about you from a friend or a teacher can see your subjects, rates and background, and contact you directly.
What should a tutoring website include?
The subjects and grade levels you teach, how sessions work online or in person, your rates, your background and how you help students improve, a few words from families and a simple way to ask for a first session. PressUp builds a first version with each of these, and you add the rest by asking.
Can my site speak to families in another language?
Yes. If you tutor in Spanish, teach English learners or work with parents who read more easily in another language, ask in the chat for pages in that language and PressUp writes them. Your subject pages can stay in English for the student, while a parent reads about rates and sessions in their own language.
Should I put my rates on my site?
Many parents want a figure before they get in touch, so a rate, or a starting rate, saves you both a call. List a price per session, a lower rate for a package of sessions or a separate rate for test prep, and update them in the chat when they change.
How much does a tutoring website cost with PressUp?
Building it is free, with no card: your site on a pressup.site address, with hosting and 20 credits to change it by chat. Pro, at $29 a month, adds your own domain, 200 credits a month and as many sites as you like.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Connect a domain you already have, or find and buy one through PressUp, and PressUp points it at your site and sets up its security certificate.
How do I change the site later?
Ask in plain words in the chat, like "add a new service" or "change my phone number". PressUp makes the change, you look it over, and you can undo anything. Publish when you're happy.
