# Profile setup

> Complete the onboarding wizard and set your hourly rate so students can find and book you.

## The onboarding wizard

The first time you sign in, JustTalk takes you through a four-step wizard. You can revisit it from the **Complete profile** card in the left sidebar.

### Step 1 — Personal Info

Full name, profile photo, native language, and the languages you can teach. Your email is pre-filled from signup.

### Step 2 — Teaching Setup

Set your **hourly rate** (with quick picks of $15, $25, $35, $50 or a custom amount) and the **days of the week** you can teach. A *Set Mon-Fri 9AM-5PM* shortcut fills the typical work week in one click.

### Step 3 — Quick Profile

A *Profile Headline* (up to 80 chars, e.g. *"Friendly English Tutor for Beginners"*) and a *Short Self-Introduction* (up to 200 chars). Both are optional and can be edited later.

### Step 4 — Complete

Review and click **Complete Setup** to land on your dashboard.

<Tip>
  Use a professional headshot and write a 2–3 sentence bio that names the levels you teach (e.g. *A2–C1*), your specialty (exam prep, business English, conversation), and what a first lesson with you looks like.
</Tip>

## Updating your hourly rate later

After onboarding, open **Dashboard → Set your hourly rate → Review** to change your rate at any time.

* Most teachers on JustTalk charge between **$20 and $60 per hour**.
* Rate changes apply to new bookings only — lessons already on the calendar keep their original price.
* A lesson always lasts **50 minutes** and consumes **1 credit** from the student.
