How to Book a Session

Learn how to find a pro and book your first session.

1Find a Pro

Go to the Discover tab to browse available pros. You can:

  • Search by subject or expertise
  • Filter by price range
  • View only your favorited pros

2Review Their Profile

Tap on a pro to view their full profile. Here you can see:

  • Their expertise and services
  • Hourly rate
  • Reviews and ratings
  • Available time slots

3Start Booking

Click "Book a Session" to open the booking form. You'll need to:

Choose Duration

Select how long you want your session to be (30, 60, or 90 minutes). The price is calculated based on the pro's hourly rate.

Select Date & Time

Pick from the pro's available time slots. Only times when the pro is free will be shown. After you choose, that step collapses to one line so the next field stays on screen. Tap Edit to change it.

If you are signed in, the package page (under the pro's photo) and the session booking modal (under their name) show Have a Question for [first name]? with Online now. They are always reachable by Profound text and email. Ask there - they get a Profound text and email. Texts, emails, and the reply page name the package (for example About Biology Tutoring: 1-Session Starter). The page says Sent right away so you can keep booking. Don't wait - pick a time to secure a booking. They can move it if needed. Guests on a public package page use Ask Profound, which goes to Profound, not the pro. On an Instagram booking page, fill name, email, and mobile first, then Ask [name] under the form.

After the pro replies, if you have not booked, Profound texts and emails you that they are still available, with Book now. That note waits until the conversation has been quiet for a couple of hours, and it stays inside 8am to 10pm Eastern. From the text, the email, or the reply page you can choose Remind me tomorrow, Remind me next week, Stop these reminders, or Ask a different pro to reach out. Those links are short addresses on getprofound.net and stop working after 60 days. Opening the link saves that choice. Tomorrow and next week send one more note, with the same choices. Stop ends them. A different pro gets your question and replies by text and email.

Provide Contact Info

Enter your phone number so the pro can confirm your booking and send you reminders.

4Wait for Confirmation

After submitting your request:

  • The pro receives your booking request
  • They review and confirm a time
  • You receive a confirmation text and email with the time and, for in-person sessions, the meeting location

Tips for Booking

  • • Book at least 24 hours in advance when possible
  • • Message the pro first if you have specific questions
  • • Check your timezone matches the pro's availability
  • • Every session includes Satisfaction guaranteed - if you are not happy, the pro will make it right
