IMPORTANT: Profile Photo Guidelines
Your profile photo is often the first impression potential students have of you! If you update your photo, please ensure it meets our quality and professionalism standards:
- Clear & High-Quality: Use a recent, high-resolution photo that is not blurry or pixelated.
- Headshot Focus: The photo should primarily show your head and shoulders.
- Friendly & Professional: Smile and look approachable, yet maintain a professional demeanor.
- Good Lighting: Your face should be clearly visible and well-lit, without strong shadows. Natural light is often best.
- Simple Background: Choose a clean, uncluttered background that isn't distracting.
- Appropriate Attire: Dress professionally, as you would for a teaching session.
- You Only: The photo should feature only you (no other people, pets, or distracting objects).
- No Filters/Accessories: Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, hats covering your face, or anything that obscures your appearance.
A great profile photo builds trust and significantly increases your chances of attracting students! Photos not meeting these guidelines may be flagged or removed.
