Profile score

Profile Score is the rating of your profile (photo, video and description) based on Rihisi’s guidelines.

Building a great tutor profile will help you increase your profile score. This is a score up to 100% which you can see in your statistics page.

According to our data, there is a strong correlation between profile scores and tutor performance. Tutors with a higher score are more likely to get trial lessons.

Which elements determine your profile score?

Your profile score is determined by your photo, video and description. Read on for more details on how you can improve each of these elements to boost your profile score.
