Tutoring chat and a coffee: 5 cheap ideas I have used to grow my tutoring business
from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan
Over the years I have paid for mentors, attended numerous courses and read hundreds of books about how to market my business. Some of the ideas have been gold dust. Some have just been just been wrong for my personality type and the business I want to build.I've done things which have worked: I have a website, created fliers, written a book (or two), but have cost time and money.I have also done other things which were easier and it is those I talk about in this podcast. Some of them I have spoken about before but I hope you still find your nugget of gold in here.I talk about how I use Facebook to offer help and write stories/memories from my experience as a mum, tutor, student (rather than just shouting that I am here to help).I mention the car magnets that I had on the side of my car that must be responsible for leads which have generated thousands over the years.Tutoring for charity gave be credibility and got me on the local radio. Then finally our starter packs that we give in our first lesson with each child) and how we offer the first lesson free.The book I wrote: Become a Tutor: Build Confidence. Change lives offers answers to the questions that I had when I first started tutoring. If you would like a copy (completely free, a gift from me to you). Let me know and I will pop a copy in the post for you ([email protected])I wish you loads of luck on your journey as a tutor
