Our Tutors Community is a safe space for Rihisi tutors around the world to share advice, inspirational stories and resources with each other, and also find the latest news and tips for succeeding on Rihisi. This has been built within Rihisi and will be accessible from your tutor homepage.

To ensure a smooth transition to the new community, we’ll invite tutors in batches during the last two weeks of May. Stay tuned for an email with a link to the new community!

The new community has all the benefits of the old one and many more:

The community content will help you grow your tutoring business, learn from others and find inspiration. In Rihisi News you can read about the latest product features that help you attract students and make tutoring easier. In the Learning & Development space, tutors can share teaching ideas and experiences, get updates from our Tutor Development and Methodology teams and find new Rihisi courses and webinars. In the Tutor chat room you can connect with other tutors, share stories and celebrate accomplishments.

There are many ways you can contribute to the community! Here are a few things you could do:

Please share any ideas for new Rihisi features or improvements in the space “Rihisi feature wishlist”. You can also vote and comment on other tutors’ suggestions.

The community will be available to all approved Rihisi tutors.

This community is only for Rihisi tutors.

The Facebook community’s success led us to question how we make it even better and accessible to tutors who don't use Facebook. We know that the main reason tutors weren’t joining the community was because they either didn’t have or didn’t want to use Facebook. We saw an opportunity to build a new space within Rihisi that all tutors feel comfortable joining, where you can easily find the content that you value most and co-create the experience with us. Opening up the community to all our tutors will ensure you can connect with a wider range of members who bring new experiences, perspectives and knowledge to your discussions.

To allow for a smooth transition, we will keep the Facebook community open for the time being but we will stop accepting new members, posting news about Rihisi or sharing updates from our tutor development and methodology teams. The sooner members join the new community, the sooner they will be able to enjoy the benefits including themed spaces, the latest updates from Rihisi and the chance to offer feedback and suggestions.

We are confident that with the support and participation of our tutors, we can make it a successful platform for sharing knowledge and building connections. Opening up the community to all our tutors will ensure you can connect with a wider range of members who bring new experiences, perspectives and knowledge to your discussions.

While the posts from the Facebook community will not be transferred to the new community, we are excited to say that new content will be created by tutors and admins alike. When you join the community, you’ll see there is already some similar content to what was in our Facebook community, including posts about Rihisi, training and methodology updates and discussions about teaching. We encourage everyone to contribute their knowledge and experience to make it great together.

Our Tutors Community built within Rihisi will be the new community for our tutors, offering all the benefits of the Facebook one and many more.

You can access the new community directly from your tutor homepage, using your Rihisi credentials to log in. Once you’re in, click on the “Community” link in the header of your Rihisi account and it will take you to the community homepage where you can explore different spaces and start conversations with other members.

Creating a profile or account for the new community is very easy! To get started, simply access the community from your Rihisi account by clicking on "Community" in the header. Once you do that, your account will be created automatically.

To find and connect with other tutors in the community, you can start by engaging with content that interests you. You can comment on posts and share your own thoughts or experiences.

Another way to connect with other tutors is to explore different spaces within the community. One of the benefits of these new spaces is to connect with other members who share similar interests.

To start a discussion or ask a question, first, navigate to the space you're interested in. If members are allowed to post in the space, you'll see a blue "Add Discussion" or "Add Idea" button at the top right corner of the page.

Click on this button, and a pop-up window will appear where you can create a new post. Write your question or discussion topic in the title and provide any details in the body of the post. Finally, click on the "Publish" button to submit your post.

To reply to someone else's post, simply go to the post you want to respond to and look for the box that says "What are your thoughts?" underneath it. Click on this box and you will be able to leave a comment directly below the original post.

While private messaging is not currently a feature of the new tutors community, we encourage all tutors to share their thoughts, questions, and feedback in the spaces provided. This will allow for open communication among all community members.

You can check the community for new posts or updates whenever you want, whether it's to communicate with your colleagues, keep up-to-date with the latest news, or browse the news feed during a break between lessons. However, please keep in mind that if you do not enter the community for 90 days your community account will be deleted.

There's no need to take any action to leave the community. If you don’t access the community for 90 days your community account will be automatically deleted.

If you spot a technical issue in the community please tag our admins from Tutor Success for support. For issues about Rihisi’s platform that are unrelated to the community, please continue to contact Customer Support through the usual channels.

You'll be able to access the new community directly from your tutor homepage on Rihisi by logging in with your Rihisi credentials. You can access the tutor homepage from a computer via a web browser or from a mobile device.

We prioritize the safety of our tutors and have zero tolerance for any harassment or inappropriate behavior. Our new community offers a supportive and secure environment for all tutors, irrespective of their background. To ensure that everyone feels respected and not discriminated against, we have established clear group rules and guidelines.

We have also taken additional steps to ensure the community is a safe space for tutors to share their questions, advice and stories. These include in-depth and automated moderation in which posts containing certain words will automatically go into moderation and enabling admins to mute members when necessary so that all their posts go to moderation.

In addition, we value our tutors' privacy and safeguard their data. We have implemented measures to guarantee the security of their information. You can see more details of this in our privacy policy.

If you come across any inappropriate content or behavior, you can report it by clicking on the three dots in the top right hand corner of the post or comment. From there, you'll see an option to "Report post" or "Report reply". This will notify the moderators who will review the content and take appropriate action if necessary.
