How it works
Sign up with your .edu email
We verify you're a current college student. This is the trust signal students pay for.

Add a photo, write your bio, list your specialties, and set your rate. Takes 10 minutes.
Set your availability
Block out hours you're free. Students can only book open slots.
Start earning
Accept bookings, hop on video calls, and get paid directly to your bank account.
Why we require a .edu email
Students pay a premium because they know their mentor actually attends the school shown on the profile. A verified .edu email is the floor — it's what makes Luminao different from advice you'd get anywhere else.
We do not share your email address with students.
