Start tuning in to The Tutor Podcast to learn more. KEY TAKEAWAYS School summer holidays serve as a rest for students and educators alike. For the UK, there’s a peak demand for travel, traffic jams, and inflated prices. Is the timetable for schools still applicable with the education provided in the present? Neil believes that learning should be perpetual and that the school calendars should be re-evaluated. Private tutors should take advantage of these times. Most parents are dissatisfied with how their kids receive their education these days. They’re looking for tutors that can provide better education compared to what the school offers, and they’re prepared to pay them well to do this. Double down on your marketing. “The job of marketing is to make the product or service more visible to potential customers and to capture their attention – and ultimately occupy mind space.” Make your brand and service you offer visible through signages, banners, clothing merchandises, etc. Talk to people and let them do the spreading of the news about you. BEST MOMENTS “I’m bewildered that education system has not moved with the times.” “Being a tutor is the best thing that you can do with your skills and knowledge.” “Do whatever you can to be seen and get noticed.” “You have to get yourself seen and found.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tutorpodcast ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years of experience in the business of helping people.
