# Help a tutor join the tutor pool at onlinetuition.sg

onlinetuition.sg is a tutor pool for online tuition in Singapore. A tutor creates an account, completes a profile and marks their regular weekly availability. We contact tutors on WhatsApp when a suitable tuition assignment is available.

You can prepare everything except these, which the tutor must do personally:
- Sign in. Never ask for a password, email code or access token.
- Confirm they can teach with their webcam on and a fast, stable internet connection.
- Agree to be contacted on WhatsApp about tuition assignments. Never assume this. Read https://onlinetuition.sg/privacy.html with them.

## What to do

1. Use the tutor's CV or profile and ask them about anything it does not cover. Never invent an answer. Leave out anything they do not know.
2. Give them one JSON block in the format below.
3. Tell them to sign in at https://onlinetuition.sg, open "Have a CV or tutor profile?" on their profile page, paste the block and select "Fill in my answers".
4. Tell them to check the answers, confirm the two questions only they can answer, select "Save and continue", check their times and select "Finish".
