Tutoring Request Form

Two people benefit when a tutoring request arrives structured instead of as a voicemail. The parent or student gets a clear, 3 to 5 minute path to asking for help: pick a subject, set a grade level, say how often sessions should happen. The tutor or center gets a request that already contains everything needed to make a match, so the first reply can be an offer instead of a round of clarifying questions.

Nine fields, one open text box

The Tutoring Request Form starts with the requester: full name, email, and an optional phone number, the only field that isn't required. Then it turns to the student. A Student Name field keeps the parent's details separate from the learner's, a Subject dropdown offers Math, Science, English, History, Foreign Language, and Other, and a Grade Level selector runs from Elementary through College.

Two more dropdowns handle logistics. Preferred Format asks for In Person, Online, or Either, and Frequency ranges from once a week to as needed. The single open field, Areas of Difficulty, is a required textarea where the requester explains exactly where the student is stuck. All nine fields sit across two content pages, with an ending page to close things out, and the template's recommended conversational mode presents one question at a time, which works well for a parent filling it out on a phone.

From submission to schedule

Every response arrives with the three facts a match depends on: subject, level, and frequency. Uplup's per-question breakdowns show which subjects dominate your incoming requests, useful when you're deciding whether to recruit another math tutor or an English specialist. Export everything to CSV to build a matching sheet, or push each new submission into your scheduling stack through webhooks or Zapier the moment it lands.

Since every field is editable, a language school can swap the subject list for course names, and a college peer-tutoring program can trim Grade Level to a single option and add a course-code field instead.

Where parents will actually see it

The form lives at its own link, so it can go anywhere a parent might look: the school newsletter, a QR code on a flyer by the front office, a pinned social post at the start of exam season. An embed snippet places it directly on your website, and if your center's site runs on WordPress, the Uplup plugin's shortcode handles that in one line. Add your logo and colors so the request page matches the rest of your program. The whole thing runs on Uplup's free plan, so a solo tutor can publish it today without spending anything.
