Digital business card for tutors

Tutoring spreads through parents talking to parents. Your card has to survive being forwarded into a class WhatsApp group and still make a stranger comfortable booking their child in.

Why it matters in this line of work

A tutor's best marketing channel is a parent recommending you to another parent, usually by pasting a link into a group chat. That means the card has to forward well: open cleanly in a message, and answer a parent's first questions before they have to ask them.

Those questions are specific. Which subjects and levels, in-person or online, and — the one that decides whether a parent relaxes — whether you hold a background or safeguarding check. Putting your DBS or equivalent, your qualifications and a couple of results on the card does the reassuring for you, in a way a paper card handed over at the school gate never could.

Your availability and rates change each term, and a link keeps up. The same card you shared in September shows this term's slots and prices, so a parent who saved you months ago sees what is actually open now rather than a number that has moved on.

What to put on it

Setting it up

  1. Open the builder and add your name, trade and business.
  2. Add the contact routes clients actually use, plus your booking or quote link.
  3. Add your logo and brand colour so it looks like you, not a template.
  4. Share it by QR code, link or wallet pass — no app needed at the other end.

Frequently asked questions

What should a tutor's digital business card include?

The subjects and levels you teach, whether you tutor in person or online, your qualifications, a background or safeguarding check if you hold one, a couple of results or a testimonial, your rates and a link to book a trial lesson. Display whatever safeguarding credential your region uses.

Why is a digital card good for getting tutoring referrals?

Because most tutoring referrals happen when one parent pastes your details into a group chat. A link forwards cleanly, opens without an app, and shows your subjects, checks and booking option to a parent who has never met you — so the recommendation does the introducing for you.

Can a parent book a lesson from the card?

Yes. Add your scheduling or contact link and it becomes the main action on the card, so a parent can book a trial while they are still looking at your subjects and results.

What if my availability changes each term?

Edit the card. Every link and QR code you have already shared shows this term's slots and rates, so a parent who saved you last term sees what is actually open now.

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan includes one digital business card, a QR code and sharing link, your profile, links and socials, an Apple and Google Wallet pass, and unlimited edits — free forever, no credit card. Free cards carry a small CompanyCard credit; removing it is part of Pro.
