How to 'bid on private tutor' on sKoolBoY?


This category is interesting and should be a new way for tutors to find prospective students to tutor and have a better way to advertise to millions of college students at one time. If you are planning on using this category, please read the following carefully: This is how you should setup this auction. First, make sure to set the auction starting bid as the hourly rate that you charge. Then, make sure you set a reserve price that matches the minimum amount of money that a student has to pay. For example, your hourly rate is $4/hr and you require a minimum of 6 hours of tutoring. Then, you would set a reserve bid of $24 because this is the minimum that a student would have to pay for. Also, if you do not have a minimum then you would not have to set a reserve price since it would match your starting bid. Next, make sure to set up an offer range. This is where the student will bid on what amount of hours they are seeking for tutoring. For example, you should set the offers starting at the minimum amount that has to be paid and then to the maximum that has to be paid based on the number of hours of tutoring that you offer. You could offer a minimum of 2 hours up to a maximum of 15 hours. Thus, you would need to set the offer range from $8 to $60 based on your hourly rate of $4/hr.
