Mentor onboarding has six short steps and ends with a class people can book. Most teachers finish in under ten minutes. You can stop at any point: Save and finish later keeps what you entered and takes you to your dashboard, where a banner brings you back to the same step.
To start, go to /mentor/onboarding. After you sign up as a mentor, MoveMentors brings you here first. Once the first step is saved, your dashboard opens too, and your profile goes live when you finish.
Step 1: You
- Your name. What people see on your profile. A professional name or just your first name is fine.
- Your city. Start typing and pick it from the list. It shows on your profile and decides which city listings you appear in.
Your profile address (movementors.com/<your-city>/<your-name>) is created from these two.
Step 2: Your photo
A clear, friendly photo of you, not a logo. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB. Natural light and a calm background work best. It is also used as the photo of your first class until you add another, and you can change it any time in your profile editor.
Step 3: What you teach
Pick every type of class you teach, such as vinyasa, mat pilates or sound healing. Pick at least one. Students use these to find you.
Step 4: How clients pay you
Choose your currency, then at least one way to get paid. All of these are fine on their own:
- Cash: just switch it on.
- Bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or Wise: add the details clients send money to.
- Cards through Stripe: click Connect with (the button ends with the Stripe logo) and follow Stripe's own form. Paid online classes need this one.
- Card in person, crypto or another method with your own instructions.
MoveMentors takes no commission on your classes. See accepting payments for each method in detail.
Step 5: Pick your first class
Choose a starting point. Each one fills in the next step for you:
| Template | What it sets up |
|---|---|
| A weekly group class | Same day and time every week, 10 spots, 60 minutes |
| A private 1:1 session | One client, 1 spot, 60 minutes |
| A workshop or event | One date, 15 spots, 2 hours |
| An online class | On Google Meet or Zoom, every week, 20 spots, 60 minutes (Pro plan) |
Not ready to add a class? Choose I'll add a class later. Your profile goes live without one and you can add a class from your dashboard.
Step 6: Check the details and publish
Almost everything is already filled in. What to look at:
- Name and description. We write a start for you. Change it so it sounds like you.
- When. The first date, the start time and the length. Leave Repeat every week on for a weekly class.
- Where. Type the studio, park, gym or address and pick it from the list. Online classes have no place.
- Price and spots. The price per person, or switch on This one is free.
- Photo. Your profile photo is used unless you choose another.
Click Publish my class. The class and its dates are live straight away.
The share screen
Right after publishing you get everything you need to tell people:
- Copy link, or send it by WhatsApp or Email.
- A message you can paste, ready to edit.
- A QR code to download.
- Print a poster: a one-page "Book with me" sheet with the QR code and your link, for your door or the front desk.
You can come back to all of this any time on Share your link, and from the Share button on each class.
After onboarding: your setup checklist
Your dashboard shows a short list called Get ready for your first booking. Each item links to the right place and ticks itself when it is done:
- Publish your first class
- Add how clients pay you
- Add a photo and a few lines about you (your certifications go here too)
- Share your link
- Make a test booking, so you see what your clients see
- Check your cancellation policy (it starts on Flexible)
- Connect your calendar, so busy times block bookings
The dashboard also has a Today panel: each session of the day with how many spots are booked. Tap a session to see who is coming.
Common questions
Can I skip a step? Steps 1 to 4 are needed for a profile people can find and pay. The first class is optional: choose I'll add a class later on step 5.
Where did the bio, cancellation policy and certifications go? They no longer hold you up. You find them on the dashboard checklist and can do them when it suits you. Your cancellation policy starts on Flexible.
Can I onboard without Stripe? Yes. Cash, bank transfer or a payment app is enough. You can connect Stripe later. Paid online classes need it.
I closed the page before publishing my class. Nothing is lost up to step 4. Sign in again and you land on step 5. The class details are not saved until you publish.
Can I change my profile address later? There is no setting for it. The name part comes from your name, and the city part follows the city on your profile.
