Adding a description to your tutor

Write the one-line description students and colleagues see, in Tutor settings under Advanced settings.

Written by Coach L

A tutor's short description tells students and colleagues what it is for. If you leave it blank, Mindjoy falls back to the first few lines of the prompt, which is rarely the sentence you would have chosen.

Where it appears

  • Students see it when you assign the tutor to a classroom.

  • Colleagues see it on the tutor's card if you share it with your organisation or publicly.

What makes a good one

Say who it is for and what it does, in one sentence. "Walks Grade 10 learners through light and dark reactions with hints, not answers" tells a student far more than "Photosynthesis tutor".

If you plan to share the tutor, add tags at the same time so people can find it by subject.
