The only visible reason I've seen in the UI for why to follow a tutor (attached, from the Overview tab of a user's profile) is to get updates on their future sessions. My understanding, from conversations with multiple tutors and learners, is that this does not work at all. It would be tremendously useful if it did.

There is no documentation on why you might follow a tutor at https://schoolhouse.world/faq/en/, and the Follow button on a profile has no tooltip, so the only information I'm aware of that we show users regarding why to Follow someone is for functionality that doesn't work.

I couldn't find an existing bug regarding this issue.

If it's not meant to work, the UI really shouldn't say "you can follow them to get updates on future sessions."

In a separate context / bug, I've commented on this message being incorrect when age restrictions prevent one from attending the sessions. But it's seemingly always incorrect, because nobody ever gets notified.
