With the newly introduced @CocoTutorsBot in January, applying for assignments has been made much smoother and seamless for our current and potential tutors.
Tutors can now apply for assignments, update and check their Tutor Profile through our bot. To apply for assignments, tutors can browse for assignments on our Telegram Channel @CocoAssignments, and apply just by clicking on the “Click to Apply” button.
After filling in the relevant details, your application will be logged by our system.
Subsequent verification of qualifications and experience will be required if you are shortlisted by the Parent.

How do you know if there is any Progress?
If you are shortlisted by the Parent, our coordinators will be contacting you personally to liaise further.
Verification of qualifications and experience will take place during this period!
If you did not receive any updates after 1-2 weeks, it would likely mean you did not get selected for the assignment.
There are many reasons as to why you are not selected:
1. Parent changed their mind
2. Another tutor was selected
3. You did not meet the preferences/criteria in the assignment
4. Your Tutor Profile is not detailed, yet succinct enough
Here are some steps you can take to maximise your chances of being selected for an assignment.
