Websites for tutors

A website for your tutoring

Parents looking for a tutor usually have one subject, one grade and one exam in mind, and they want to know quickly whether you can help. webbefy builds a site that answers that at a glance, from the subjects, grades and times you give it, with an easy way for a parent or student to get in touch.

What your customers look for

What they check before they get in touch

  • Do you teach my child's subject and grade?

    List each subject with the grades and curriculum you cover, such as CAPS or IEB, and the site sets them out so a parent can check in seconds.

  • Online, at home or at your place?

    Say whether you tutor online, travel to students or have them come to you, and for home visits, the suburbs you cover.

  • When do you have time?

    Add your tutoring hours, with a note for exam periods or holiday classes, so parents know when lessons are possible before they ask.

  • Can I ask before I book?

    The WhatsApp button can open with a message ready, such as asking about maths lessons for a learner, so a parent only has to add the details and send.

What to have ready

This is enough for a full first draft. Anything you do not have yet can be added later, and the site updates when you do.

  • Your name or business name, phone number, WhatsApp number and email address
  • The subjects, grades and curricula you teach
  • Whether you tutor online, at students' homes or at your own place, and where
  • Your available hours
  • Your own qualifications and experience, in a few lines

Common questions

Can parents book and pay for lessons on the site?

No. Parents get in touch by WhatsApp, phone, email or the contact form, and you arrange times and payment with them directly.

Can I show results or what parents have said?

Only what you add yourself. If parents have given you permission to quote them, add their words to your details and the site shows them. It is built not to make up results or reviews.

How much does it cost?

Your first design is free. Extra designs are R20 each. Publishing costs R499 a month per site, which includes hosting and a free webbefy.site address. There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time, and your site stays live until the end of the month you have paid for.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site goes live on a free webbefy.site address, and you can connect a domain you already own at no extra cost.

Do I need to know anything about websites?

No. You answer questions about your business in plain language, preview the whole site, and publish when you are happy with it. There is no design or code to deal with.

Can I change my details later?

Yes. Update your phone number, hours or address and your published site updates with them. You can also generate a completely new design and keep the one you have.

Will the site make things up about my business?

No. It is written from the facts you give it, and it does not add reviews, awards, qualifications or clients you did not tell it about.
