# Update Tutor

> Update an org tutor's profile fields.

Only `bio`, `teaching_mode` (online | in_person | both), and `is_published` are
writable — partial update, send only the fields you want to change. Bank/payout/
Stripe/role/email fields are never accepted, and there is no per-tutor rate field
(rate lives in the org matrix). Returns the full updated tutor. 404 if `{tutor_id}`
isn't an accepted member of your org.
