The short answer
Yes. Online lessons need a dedicated page explaining how they work, what platform you use and what the learner needs at their end. "Online tutoring" and its equivalents are a large search in their own right, and the reader is a different person from the one looking for a teacher down the road.
Mentioning online delivery in a line on the home page does not reach that reader. A page does.
Why it is a separate reader
Someone searching for "online maths tutor" or "online Spanish lessons" has already decided against travelling. They are comparing on availability, time zone, platform and price, and they are often outside your town entirely. That reader will not find you through a subject page written for local families, and if they land on one they will not see the answer to their first question.
It is also the only page on a lessons site that can serve a national or international market. For a solo tutor, that is often where growth comes from.
What the page has to answer
The platform. Name it. Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or a platform built into your booking or teaching system. Say whether the learner needs an account and whether the link arrives by email before each lesson.
The whiteboard or shared materials. For academic tutoring this is the question that decides it. Say how work is shared and annotated during the lesson, and how materials and homework reach the student afterwards.
What the learner needs. A laptop or tablet rather than a phone where the subject demands it, headphones, a stable connection, a webcam position, and for music lessons the instrument in shot and a second camera or angle if you use one. Be specific; a parent who sets it up wrong the first time blames the format.
How lessons are recorded, or not. Say whether lessons are recorded, who can see a recording, and how long it is kept. If you record, get consent, and take particular care with under-eighteens.
Time zones. State the time zone your booking calendar shows and whether it converts automatically. This is the single most common cause of a missed first online lesson.
Price. Whether the online fee differs from the in-person fee. Say so either way, on this page and on the fees page.
Ages and subjects. Which subjects and which ages you teach online. Some work well; very young children and some practical subjects do not, and saying so honestly saves you refunds.
Safeguarding online
Online lessons with children need their own stated arrangements: whether a parent is expected nearby or in the room, whether the platform's waiting room is used, whether one-to-one calls are recorded, how a lesson link is shared, and which channels are used to contact a student. Requirements differ by country and by the organisation you teach through, so state your policy in plain sentences and check it against your national guidance rather than copying another provider's wording.
Class providers running online sessions for children should state the same things on the class page.
The trial applies here too
An online trial is booked the same way as an in-person one, with its own appointment type in Acuity, TutorBird, My Music Staff, Teachworks or whichever tool you use, so the location is unambiguous and the joining link is issued automatically. After the trial it converts to a recurring weekly slot exactly as an in-person lesson does.
Send a short setup email before the first lesson: the link, the time in the learner's time zone, what to have ready, and a number to call if the connection fails.
A hybrid line
Many providers teach both, and families switch between them for a term or for a week. Say that on the page: "Students can move between in-person and online lessons within a term; tell your teacher the week before." It removes a question and it is a genuine advantage over a provider who cannot.
What it does for search
An online lessons page, plus an online section on each subject page linking to it, catches the "online [subject] lessons" and "[subject] tutor online" searches that a purely local site never reaches. Give it a real URL, a title under sixty characters and a description that says the platform and the subjects, and link it from the main menu rather than hiding it under About.
Where this sits
An online lessons page is one of the six things every lessons website we build carries, alongside teacher profiles, subject pages, stated fees, timetables and trial booking. It earns the most for tutors, test prep providers and language schools, where the student does not need to be anywhere near you to be taught well.
