Tutoring request form
A tutoring request form connects students and parents needing academic help with available tutors. Instead of a phone call or a vague email, a student or parent specifies the subject, their grade level, when they're available for sessions, and what they hope to achieve. Tutors or coordinators see structured data they can match to availability without back-and-forth questions.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Students describe goals so tutors can tailor sessions
An optional textarea for "What do you hope to achieve?" tells a tutor whether the student is catching up from a grade gap, preparing for a test, or moving ahead.
Availability is clear upfront so scheduling is fast
A textarea describing availability beats a phone call asking "are you free Tuesdays?" Tutors see the constraint and propose a time the student will actually accept.
No card required.

Live previewHow to build this form
5 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.
- Add text fields for the student name and the parent or guardian name (if applicable) so tutors know who they will be working with.
- Add an email and phone field so you can schedule the first session and send reminders without playing phone tag.
- Add a dropdown for the subject area so tutors self-select matches within their expertise.
- Add a dropdown for grade level so tutors know the academic level and curriculum they'll cover.
- Add a textarea for availability so the student describes when they are free without giving a yes-or-no answer.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a tutoring request form, not general advice about forms.
Using free text for subject area
"Math", "algebra", "pre-algebra" and "math help" all mean different things. A dropdown of your actual subject offerings ensures every request routes to tutors who teach that subject.
Making availability a yes-or-no field
A checkbox "Are you available Tuesday?" gets no detail. A textarea for "When are you available?" returns real constraints tutors can actually schedule around.
Not asking what the student hopes to gain
Without knowing whether a student wants to catch up, prepare for a test, or advance, tutors guess at pace and focus.
Questions about this form
Can students request online or in-person tutoring?
Yes — add a radio group or dropdown with options for "In-person", "Online" or "No preference". This helps tutors know logistics before confirming the first session.
Should I ask for the student's current grade or test score?
Optional. If you need it to match tutors by skill level, add a number field for current grade in this subject. Otherwise, save detailed assessment for the first tutor-student meeting.
How do tutors respond to a request?
This form collects requests only; tutors respond outside the form. Export responses to a spreadsheet you share with tutors, or send requests to Slack.
