Everything about uBitto

NEW BUDDIES: How does uBitto Practice work and what should I know?

1. Create an attractive profile

uBitto doesn't assign learners to Practice Buddy, but as a new Practice Buddy, it is helpful to have a professional profile image and attractive Introduction Video Thumbnail reflected on your listing!

2. Interacting with learners

Learners have the option to book as many lessons as they want with you. When a learner books a Practice Session with you, we will send a notification to your email address with learner's details, booked schedules and unique Zoom meeting link.

If you receive a booking from a learner, you may contact them to determine the student's level of proficiency and style of learning, as well as to help you prepare relevant materials for them. Make sure you reply to each learner!

3. Bookings and cancellations

uBitto has an automatic booking process, so learners can book any available hour in your schedule with a 48-hour notice. It is very important to keep your schedule up to date, so it shows only those hours that you can actually teach. You’re free to reschedule a lesson later, but we encourage you to have your schedule up to date to avoid any rescheduling issues. If you miss, cancel or unschedule too many lessons due to inconsistent or inaccurate schedule, you may not be able to teach on uBitto in the future.

4. uBitto commission and payments

uBitto applies a 20% commission on teacher rates. You can change your rates at any point. 

Practice Buddies will be paid out on a monthly basis, based on timeline of sales report and payment. Practice Buddies can choose to be paid via Stripe (connected to your bank account) or direct bank transfer.

5. uBitto lessons and how to conduct them

Practice Sessions are conducted via Zoom which is integrated through uBitto's system. Practice Buddies are able to start sessions on Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox on PC/Mac only and any mobile devices supporting Zoom.

At the scheduled time, easily start your lesson with the click of a button on your Buddy Panel. Once your session is live, your learner will be able to join and your lesson can begin. You must begin and end your lesson on time for it to be registered. 

All Practice Sessions should be conducted via unique Zoom link sent through uBitto; offering learners to Skype or conduct lessons out of the methods stipulated by uBitto is strictly AGAINST UBITTO POLICIES!
