How does Classgap work?
Classgap is an online private tutoring portal where you can teach your classes in our virtual classroom and receive payment for them securely. To get started, simply create your teacher profile and indicate the subjects you teach, your availability and your hourly rate.
Sign up here. You can do it with your email, Facebook account or by integrating your profile from Tusclasesparticulares, clicking on "Give private lessons online".How do I publish my profile?
Start the registration process with your name and email, then you can add all your information as a teacher (we have a few questions in order to complete your profile). Once done, our team will validate the information you have provided so that your profile can be public and students can reach you. ✨How do students contact me?
Students will contact you either to send you a message or to request a lesson. 💬 Messaging. They can send you a message from your public Classgap profile, to ask you about classes or resolve doubts before booking a class. 🧑🏫 Reservations. You can receive reservations without the student having sent you a message beforehand, whether it is an individual class, a pack of several classes or a free class if you have that option activated. Offering free 20 minutes trial classes is highly recommended, it will help you to get more students. We will always notify you of messages and bookings via e-mail so you won't miss anything 😉How do I get paid for the classes taught on Classgap?
By registering as a Classgap tutor, you benefit from the security of payments through our portal.

Don't worry if you don't see the total accumulated amount in full, filter by date and you will see that it is still there.
