 * Can anyone recommend how to achieve a site such as `www.tutora.co.uk` and `www.
   tutorhunt.com` using wordpress?
 * We want to have a home page, about etc but then a search page where users can
   search for tutors based on subject level and location.
 * Tutors can sign up and create a profile with these custom fields.
 * They can then private message each other and agree to work together.
 * Upon acceptance, the user can then purchase the tutors details – payment made
   to our site.
 * I was looking at buddypress for the profile and private messaging.
 * What about the payment and search functionality – does anyone have any recommendations
   on how to achieve this?

 * Hi [@harveyando](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harveyando/),
 * I don’t have a solution for you… but I thought I should clarify that what [@themesgrove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themesgrove/)
   suggested will help you build an online school, where multiple instructors can
   create online courses and the instructions actually happen on your website. A
   good example of this is Udemy.com.
 * But the two examples you gave are both just places for learners to find tutors
   and pay for private, one-on-one, customized lessons… with no individual or group
   teaching actually happening on the site itself.
 * From [Tutora](https://tutora.co.uk/how-it-works)
 * > You select when and where you learn. Lessons can take place in your own home,
   > the tutor’s or a nearby cafe or library – it’s up to you!
 * TutorHunt has an “online” tuition option, but again, this is one-on-one, live,
   private tuition via webcam, and no course content is published on the website
   itself.
 * I thought I should make the distinction clear to you, so you can be sure what
   you’re opting for: do you want to host the courses like in a school (Udemy.com
   is a good example), or do you just want list tutors who the students directly?

 * Hi [@harveyando](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harveyando/),
 * A good example of a WordPress based “Tutor website” is the mgrmusic.com [Music Teacher Database](https://mgrmusic.com/teacher-database/).
 * Using the Geo My WordPress plugin users can search the database for music teachers
   local to them. The can also filter the teachers dependant on instrument or level,
   so this achieves two of the aims you mentioned in terms of the “search page”.
 * As for sign-ups; tutors submit information via a Contact Form 7 plugin form on
   a [Sign-Up](https://mgrmusic.com/sign-up/) page and receive enquiries in a “[Community](https://mgrmusic.com/sign-up/)”
   area of the website where enquiries are send to teachers, enabling them to respond
   to the students. I am not sure about how this website facilitates payment from
   either the teachers or students, however, I am sure you could add some type of
   Paypal payment facilitation that creates the release of a download file upon 
   payment, in the file a student could find a teacher’s contact details. The whole
   website is ran on WordPress so it is certainly achievable to create a tutor website
   based only on WordPress achieving the aims that you set up above.
 * Hope this helps, I would research the plugins and theme options out there.
