A teacher, tutor or professor website is a powerful way to attract private students. Parents and adult learners want to see your qualifications, subjects you teach, prices and student reviews before they call. This guide explains how to build a simple but professional site with a portfolio, course list, online booking and a parent portal.

How to Build a Teacher / Tutor Website

1

Choose hosting and a domain

A tutor site is light on resources — BeoHosting START or STANDARD is more than enough. Free SSL is essential. Register a domain with your name or specialty: firstname-lastname.com or math-tutoring.com.

2

Pick a personal-brand theme

Astra, GeneratePress or Sydney are clean, fast and flexible. The homepage shows your photo, headline, short bio and a clear "Book a lesson" CTA.

3

Build the about + qualifications page

Showcase education, certifications, years of teaching, subjects and grade levels. Add a professional photo and a short video introduction if possible.

4

List courses and prices

Create a page or grid of courses (Math 7th-8th grade, Math high school prep, College math). Each course: duration, format (online/in-person), price, what students will learn.

5

Add online booking

Use Amelia, Simply Schedule Appointments or Calendly. Define available time slots, lesson duration, accept online payment if you want (Stripe, PayPal).

6

Optimize local SEO

Target "math tutor Chicago", "english lessons Austin". Add LocalBusiness or Person schema, register Google Business Profile, gather Google reviews from happy students/parents.

FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about our services.

Not necessarily — many tutors use Zoom + Google Drive for materials. For structured courses with quizzes and progress tracking, add LearnDash or LifterLMS to WordPress.

Stripe and PayPal are simplest globally. In the US: Stripe, Square or PayPal for cards; ACH bank transfer for local students. WooCommerce or built-in Amelia payments handle the flow.

Yes — transparent pricing filters serious inquiries and saves your time. If prices vary, list "from X USD per hour" and clarify on a call.

Hosting $4-8/month, domain $16/year, theme free (Astra/GeneratePress), booking plugin free to $65/year. Total: $65-141/year.

Platforms like Preply, Superprof or Wyzant are great to start with, but they charge commission (20-33% per lesson) and limit your brand. Your own site gives you: full control over pricing with no commission, a professional brand and credibility, an SEO presence on Google, the ability to sell courses and materials, and direct communication with students. The ideal strategy: use the platforms for an initial flow of students while building your own site in parallel for long-term, commission-free business.
