Profile Photo Guidelines and Requirements

Your picture is an important part of your profile because it gives learners their first impression of you. Tutors or Instructors with excellent profile photos may also be promoted by our marketing team. Please see these examples, requirements, and instructions to help you choose or take a great picture.

Good Examples

Bad Examples

The best profile pictures are…

Friendly and professional-looking

You want to make a good first impression! Especially if you have a professional teaching profile, it is important to have a good picture.

Clear, with good lighting

This shows that you care about quality, and good lighting will make you look more professional. Do not take your photo at night and use a dark or blurry picture.

Close-up, and recognizable

Students will feel more confident booking a lesson with you when they can see who you are.

If you have a good teaching record and a great profile, uBitto may promote your profile to potential learners in email newsletters or on the site. Choose the kind of picture that you would want to see in a magazine!
