At Tutorful, we’re committed to helping you thrive as a tutor. Success is not just about the number of lessons you teach, but also about the quality and consistency of your tutoring. Here’s how we monitor and support your success, ensuring you deliver the best experience for your students and grow your tutoring business effectively.
Be Prepared for Your Lessons
Preparation is key to delivering engaging and effective lessons. We encourage our tutors to plan ahead and tailor their sessions to each student's needs. Well-prepared lessons lead to better learning outcomes and happier students.
Be Responsive
Promptly replying to student enquiries is essential for maintaining strong relationships and building trust. Parents and students we have spoken to mention they would expect a good tutor to respond to them within 24 hours, so they can book lessons with them as quickly as they can. Make it a habit to respond quickly and thoughtfully to any messages from your students. This not only shows your professionalism but also keeps students engaged and motivated.
Teach What You Know
Your expertise matters. Only list subjects you are qualified to teach to ensure you’re providing accurate and valuable knowledge to your students. Teaching within your areas of expertise helps build your reputation as a reliable and knowledgeable tutor.
Apply for Jobs That Match Your Profile
To provide the best service, only apply for jobs that align with your qualifications and experience. This ensures that you and your students are a good fit, leading to more successful and enjoyable learning experiences for everyone involved.
Keep Your Availability Up-To-Date
An up-to-date schedule is crucial for a smooth booking process for students. Regularly update your availability so students know when they can book lessons with you. If you’re fully booked or planning a holiday, make sure to go offline to avoid any scheduling conflicts.
Manage Cancellations Proactively
Life happens, and sometimes cancellations are unavoidable. When they do occur, communicate promptly with your students to reschedule or make necessary adjustments. Proactively managing cancellations helps maintain trust and minimizes disruptions to the learning process.
No shows are a no go
At Tutorful, we do not tolerate no shows. Both parents and students agree that missed lessons negatively impact students' learning and diminish their confidence in both their tutor and the Tutorful platform. Therefore, failing to attend scheduled lessons without prior notice will result in the suspension of your Tutorful account.
Set Clear Expectations
Agreeing on a learning plan upfront with your students sets the stage for success. Discuss goals, expectations, and the structure of your lessons right from the start. This clarity helps both you and your students stay on track and work towards common objectives.
Provide Regular Feedback
Give constructive feedback to your students and their parents to help them improve, and encourage them to share their thoughts on your teaching as well. This ongoing dialogue fosters a positive learning environment and helps you continuously refine your tutoring approach. Providing feedback to the parents will keep them informed of their child’s progress and will motivate them to help them by booking regular lessons.
Book The Next Lesson!
When you are finishing a lesson with a student, try to agree on a next lesson before you leave. Life is busy, and it’s easy for you both to forget to arrange more lessons if it’s left until later. A simple ‘same time next week?’ when you’re finishing can result in a more consistent schedule for you, and ensure the student is receiving the support they need! Remember, the more lessons you book, the more likely it is that you will appear at the top of our search results, and therefore will increase your number of lesson enquiries!
By following these criteria, you’ll not only enhance your own success but also contribute to the overall success of your students. At Tutorful, we’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that you have all the tools and guidance you need to excel.
