If you want to start tutoring in a couple of months time - bare this in mind

from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan

The other day I organised a "Tutoring coffee and chat". The idea being that people who were thinking of becoming a tutor or looking to grow their tutoring business could join the call and we could share ideas that could be helpful to get them started.A point that repeatedly came up was that they were looking to start in September. The new school year.If this is your plan, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start telling people now that you will be available, because:1) there are so many people promoting themselves as tutors that it will take time for you to be heard above the noise.2) People will be entrusting you with their child's education. They will want time to get to know you, like you, trust you before inviting you into their lives.3) People are starting to look for tutors now for September so that it is something that is organised and they can put to the back of their minds before the summer holidays begin.If you would like a free copy of my book: Become a Tutor: Build Confidence. Change Lives (no strings attached what-so-ever) please do drop me a line: [email protected] and I will more than happy to send you one in the post. (I wrote it with the goal of answering the questions that I had when I got started)I wish you every bit of success on your journey
