Tutor Profile Advertising FAQ

How does it work?

Rihisi will run digital advertising showing your profile picture, first name and other information as seen on your Rihisi tutor account.

Any student who clicks on it will have the ability to potentially book a lesson with you.

Where will it show?

Your profile promotion could be shown on Facebook, Instagram, Snap, as well as other websites and apps. It might appear in any country with potential new students.

What will it show?

The ads will only show your first name, in addition to already publicly available information from your tutor profile page on Rihisi (Hourly rate, Star rating). Personal data is never disclosed.

How will I benefit?

Potential students can discover you through our advertising and immediately book lessons with you.

How can I withdraw consent?

You may revoke your consent at any time from the Notifications Center.

Do I have to pay for it?

Not a penny. This is a free advertisement for our tutors to get more students.

How long will this promotion run?

This can depend on various factors such as seasonality, availability, but also the performance of the ads. We aim to have an 'always-on' approach, which means the ads could run at any given time.

Will I know how many users clicked on my profile?

Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the technical setup to make this possible.

Will I know how many students came via advertising?

Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the technical setup to make this possible.

Can I select a different picture than my profile picture for Rihisi to use as advertising?

Unfortunately, that’s currently not possible. We might support that option in the future.

What are the requirements to be advertised by Rihisi?

Your profile picture needs to have a minimum aspect ratio of 600x600 pixels, but higher is always better. Preferably 1080x1080.

Your name or description on your Rihisi profile shouldn’t be written in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Your first name can’t be just one letter, such as: ‘N.’

Can you please change the text below my ad into something custom?

We use a system that automatically advertises our tutors at scale. This has the limitation that we cannot add in custom text in the ads.

If I change my hourly price, will it automatically change in the ads?

Yes. Updates on your profile page will automatically be reflected in the information in the ads. However, there might be a time lag.

Can you send me a preview of how the ad that I appear in looks like?

Unfortunately not, our ads are dynamically composed by an algorithm. This means every prospective student who might see them could see a variant showing different tutors.

Does Rihisi manually select and favor certain tutors above others to be shown in their ads?

No. At Rihisi we strive for inclusivity and diversity, and are proud to represent a multicultural community of tutors, learners, and Rihisi employees. We would never favor tutors based on their looks, ethnicity, age or gender. The Facebook and Instagram advertising algorithm tends to give more visibility to the profiles generating more clicks. We are working on solutions to more evenly distribute the visibility among a larger set of tutors, considering the subject, calendar availability, times zone, and such factors.

I only want my profile to be shown in certain countries, can I request that?

Unfortunately not. Our ads run dynamically in various markets with prospective Rihisi students. If you don’t want your profile to be featured in a specific country, we recommend that you consider opting out of this free advertisement.

I’m getting too many new student requests, can you also stop or pause advertising my profile?

Sure, just set your consent lever to No / Don’t agree, and you’ll automatically be excluded from advertising. Kindly keep in mind that there might be a delay for changes to take effect.

Now, let’s get boosting!
