Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_tutors | Search iTutorOnline's verified tutor directory. Filter by subject/keyword, country, spoken language, max hourly price (EUR), and minimum rating. Returns ranked tutor cards with rates, ratings, and profile links. |
| get_tutor | Get the full public profile for one tutor: headline, description, subjects, academic levels, rate, rating, credentials, languages, and how to book. Identify the tutor by the id from a search_tutors result, or by the last part of their profile URL. |
| get_tutor_reviews | Get recent written reviews and the average score for a tutor. |
| list_subjects | List the subjects tutors teach, with the search terms and synonyms that match each. Use before search_tutors to pick a good subject term. |
| get_platform_info | Explain how iTutorOnline works: pricing, the free first 30 minutes, hour packages, languages of instruction, how booking works, and the live count of verified tutors. |
| prepare_booking | Assemble a real tutoring booking for a parent/student to finish in one tap. Give the tutor id, how long, who it is for, and optionally a preferred time. Returns a price estimate, a booking brief, and the link the human opens to confirm and pay. Creates nothing and charges nothing itself. |
| request_human_tutor | Hand a tutoring request to the iTutorOnline team so they can line up a human tutor. Requires the subject AND an email address the team can reply to — ask the student for one before calling this, because there is no other way to reach them afterwards. If they will not share an email, use search_tutors instead and give them a profile link. Also returns tutors the student can book immediately. |
