Your next student is already looking.
Families and schools are searching for music educators right now. A free Pocket Tutor profile shows what you teach, where you teach, your lesson rate, and whether you conduct ensembles — and it takes less than 10 minutes to set up.
“Having the weekly payout as a freelancer is a game changer. It makes budgeting, saving and work planning so much easier.”
Be found where families already search.
Parents already search for music teachers through schools, friends, Facebook groups, and Google. Pocket Tutor gives you a dedicated profile to send them to, and a directory presence as more families discover the platform.
- A free public profile for your instruments, levels, lesson formats, locations, schools, and service areas.
- Rates, lesson terms and conditions, and availability.
- Experience, qualifications, bio, and Working With Children Check status.
Create the profile now. Go live after review.
Before a family books lessons, they want to know whether you're the right fit. Pocket Tutor reviews educator profiles and WWCC details before they appear publicly, so the directory feels safer for families from the start.
- Create your profile in less than 10 minutes.
- Submit the required details for profile approval and WWCC review.
- Go live in the directory once the manual trust and safety check is complete.
Grow beyond the directory when you're ready.
Your educator profile is just the beginning. The same account can also help with the day-to-day administration of your studio. Use the features you need, when you need them.
Lesson requests
Keep new enquiries organised from first contact through to lessons.
Availability
Show when lessons can be requested without sharing your personal calendar.
Student records
Keep lesson information, notes, and student details in one place.
Scheduling
Manage recurring lessons and studio administration more efficiently.
Professional payments, built for music lessons.
Pocket Tutor payments are built around actual taught lessons. When a lesson is complete, the family's saved payment method can be charged. Educators can still stay directory-only if they prefer their existing setup.
Your profile and directory listing are free. Pocket Tutor's 6.1% service fee applies only when families pay through the platform — set the take-home rate you want, and the fee can be added on top.
- Charge a family's saved payment method when a completed lesson is marked done.
- See which lessons are paid, processing, or need attention without keeping a separate spreadsheet.
- Receive weekly payouts, so studio income is easier to plan around.
- Your directory profile still works if you keep your own payment process.
Questions, answered.
The things educators usually want to know before creating a profile.
What does Pocket Tutor cost?
Creating a profile and being listed in the directory is free. Pocket Tutor charges a 6.1% service fee only when families pay through the platform — you set the take-home rate you want, and the fee can be added on top.
Do I need a Working With Children Check?
Yes. Pocket Tutor reviews your WWCC details before your profile appears publicly, so families can trust every educator they find in the directory.
How long until my profile is live?
Creating your profile takes less than 10 minutes. It goes live in the directory once the manual trust and safety review is complete.
Do I have to use Pocket Tutor payments?
No. Your directory profile works exactly the same if you keep your own payment process — payments are there when you want them.
I already have students. Is Pocket Tutor still useful?
Yes. The same account manages lesson requests, availability, student records, scheduling, and payments — so it can run your existing studio, not just help new students find you.
Make it easier for families to find you.
