What is your home street address?
Matching needs a general area, such as a neighborhood or postal code. A street address adds risk without improving the match.

Tutor request form: the details a match needs, and nothing more
A tutor request form records what the learner needs help with, at what level, and when they can meet, so the person arranging matches can find a suitable tutor. Use checkboxes for subjects and time blocks rather than free text, because free text can split one subject into many spellings. Ask for a neighborhood or postal code rather than a home address, and leave out school records and diagnoses unless a tutor truly needs them.

Questions to leave out
Details a tutor request should not collect
Can you send the student's latest report card?
Report cards and test records are education records. Request them only after a match is agreed, and through the process your organization follows for records of that kind.
Can we have a photo of the learner for the tutor profile?
A tutor does not need a photo to plan lessons, and a photo of a young learner adds a privacy risk. A first name and a subject list are enough.
Field blueprint
Matching fields for subject, level, and time
| Field | Type | Required | Why you ask it |
|---|---|---|---|
Learner first name | Short text | Required | Lets the coordinator address the learner by name in the first message, without asking for a full name at this stage. |
Learner age or gradeFor example: Grade 9, or age 34 | Short text | Required | Matches the tutor's experience to the learner's level. Give the grade for school learners and the age for adult learners. |
Parent or guardian emailGive this if the learner is under 18. | Optional | Lets the coordinator confirm a match with a responsible adult when the learner is under 18. | |
Neighborhood or postal code | Short text | Required | Matching needs a general area, so the tutor can be within reach of the learner. |
Subjects neededReadingWritingMathScienceLanguagesTest preparationOther | Multiple choice | Required | Checkboxes make subjects comparable across requests. Free text such as math and mathematics can split one subject into two. |
What success looks likeFor example: finish homework on time, or prepare for an exam on a set date. | Long text | Required | Tells the tutor the goal, so the first session starts in the right place. |
Type of help neededHomework helpCatching up on missed materialAdvanced practiceExam preparation | Single choice | Optional | Separates routine homework support from preparation for an assessment with its own date. |
Preferred formatIn personOnlineEither | Single choice | Required | Narrows the match to tutors who can teach that way. |
AvailabilityWeekday morningsWeekday afternoonsWeekday eveningsWeekend morningsWeekend afternoons | Multiple choice | Required | Time blocks are easier to match against a tutor's calendar than a list of exact hours. |
Language of instructionEnglishSpanishAnother language | Dropdown | Required | Matches the language the learner is most comfortable learning in. |
Learning support the tutor should know aboutDescribe the supports the learner uses in class, such as extra time or a quiet space. | Long text | Optional | Lets the tutor plan sessions around how the learner works, such as breaks or written instructions. |
Consent to share this request with a tutorI agree that the coordinator may share the details above with a tutor I am matched to. | Multiple choice | Required | Makes the sharing step explicit, so the learner's details do not reach a tutor without a yes. |

After a response arrives
How the coordinator works through each request
Review new requests at a fixed time each day
Each request is saved on arrival and waits for the hourly run, which then notifies the creator. Open the grid at a set hour each day, so families hear back on a predictable schedule.
Open a case for each request
If the coordinators work in Customer Care, turn on case creation and set the default priority, tags and owner in form settings. Each request then opens as a case with those values, and the coordinator reads the subject and format in the grid.
Match on time blocks, then confirm by email
Check the availability and format against your tutor list. Confirm the match with the family by email, and share the request with a tutor only after the consent box is ticked.
Mistakes to avoid
Mistakes that slow down a match
Letting families type the subject
When families type subjects in their own words, the same subject appears under several names and is hard to count. Use a fixed list with an Other choice for anything missing.
Asking for a start date you cannot meet
A start date field sets an expectation. Include one only if you can keep it, and say in the introduction how long matching usually takes.
Forgetting the adult when the learner is a minor
When the learner is under 18, the request concerns a family as well as the child. Contact a responsible adult before a tutor is booked, and say in the introduction that this step happens.
Collecting more detail than matching uses
Each extra field can slow families down and adds information you must protect. Keep only the fields the coordinator uses to make the match, and remove the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a tutor request form template I can use?
Your coordinators can rebuild the fields above in the form tool they already use. Attain OS is link-based and does not generate Word or PDF documents.
Is a tutoring request form the same as a tutor application?
No. A tutor request comes from a learner or family who wants help. A tutor application comes from a person who wants to teach, and it may need its own questions about qualifications and the checks your organization requires.
Can families upload a report card with the request?
No. Families cannot attach a report card here, because the form takes no files. Ask the family to bring or send it through your process after a match is agreed.
Should the request ask for the learner's test scores?
Ask what the learner needs to work on, not for a score sheet. A goal such as passing the next algebra test tells a tutor more than a list of past scores, and it keeps the request short.
