How do I advertise my GCSE tutoring service?

I've signed up to a couple of sites but I don't know how to make my advert stand out. Is there anywhere that I can advertise?

I've signed up to a couple of sites but I don't know how to make my advert stand out. Is there anywhere that I can advertise?

Superprof.co.uk? TheProfs.co.uk? Mytutor.co.uk

If you want a list of tutoring sites to advertise on, you normally would google for the ones applicable for the UK e.g.
https://www.educationalappstore.com/best-apps/tutoring-websites-uk
https://www.qca.org.uk/top-online-tutoring-platforms-uk.html
https://insights.gostudent.org/en/best-tutoring-websites-in-the-uk
https://www.tutorchase.com/blog/top-tutoring-websites-in-uk

Do note, there is a diseconomy of scale once you have advertised on the top X number of sites. There may be less competiton on the less popular sites, but so is the traffic.

Social Media
In terms of adverttising on social media, UK stats imply: "...30% of the youngest Brits, aged between 16 and 24, view their Instagram, 23% view their Snapchat, 21% see their TikTok, and only 12% of them consider their Facebook profile as their main one." See: https://moneytransfers.com/news/2022/11/28/uk-social-media-statistics

I have problems locating the data for social media use amongst parents of teenagers aged 14-15, but presuming that the predominant age group is somewhere between the mid-30s to mid-40s, you're most likely to find this audience on Facebook.

I would have a professional profile page for each of the social media account - you would need one in order to advertise anyway.
