Choosing a good profile photo

Guidelines you need to know when adding your profile picture.

Your profile photo is your chance to make a great first impression on students and showcase both your professionalism and your personality. In this article, we will guide you through the process of selecting the photo that best suits your Taketutor profile.

In order to guarantee that your photo is good, make sure that:

Your face and eyes are fully visible (except for the religious reasons).
Your photo is centered and upright
Your photo is in color, with high resolution, and without filters.
Your photo has neutral lighting and background.
Please, smile and look into the camera.

Of course, this is not your passport photo. Feel free to smile as if you were greeting students at your first lesson!

Here are some examples of good profile photos:

We do not accept the following kinds of photos:

Photos containing logos or contact information
Photos that show people other than the tutor (for legal reasons)
Photos with borders or frames
Blurry photos
Heavily-edited photos
Photos in black and white

In order to be approved directly, please make sure your photo is a good match and meets all our requirements. Otherwise, we will have to reject your photo and the registration process will take much more time.

Here at Taketutor we are working hard to provide you with more students. Our research has shown that the guidelines above will help you to stand out among other tutors. So more students will choose you!
