Viewing student requests on the dashboard
When a student requests a session, their name and the subject they need help with will appear on the dashboard. If you're available, simply click on the student’s name or the “Join session” button in the popup to accept. You can even accept requests outside of your set availability!
Pick up the request quickly before another coach does!
What You'll See
The screenshot below shows an example of what your dashboard will look like when a student requests a session.
Not Seeing Any Requests?
UPchieve is an on-demand service, so the number of requests you see on the dashboard can vary. Here’s how to increase your chances of connecting with a student:
Get certified in multiple subjects – The more subjects you can tutor, the more requests you'll receive.
Keep the dashboard open – Requests appear in real time, so keeping your dashboard open helps you catch them as they pop up. You can also enable browser notifications to hear a ping when a request comes in.
Block out more availability on your UPchieve calendar – This allows you to receive text notifications when students need help. Look for red 
icons—these indicate the busiest hours!
Each text includes the student’s name, subject, and a link to join. Simply click the link, let the student know you’ll be with them shortly, and switch to your computer to begin.
Please note, blocking time on your calendar only enables text notifications during those hours. It doesn’t limit when you can tutor.
Note that you cannot schedule sessions with students—all sessions are on-demand.
