Once a tutor, always a tutor

When does tutoring end?

The good news is: never!



Once you have become known for your ability to improve people's skills, you will remain popular even if you try not to be. People talk and recommend and you will be asked for your services for as long as you keep providing good quality tutoring. And that is the essential key to maintaining your clientèle: quality. Word spreads when you are good at what you do, and when you are bad at it. Usually good tutors are booked immediately as people are afraid that you may get too busy for them. The are willing to make compromise with their schedules and finances, only to know that they got you.


Updating your portfolio and achievements is very important. Let your students know what you are up to and what you are working on. Let them know that your life is actually bigger than sitting down with them to teach them grammar. When your students know that there is something unknown about you which is good and is making you a better tutor, they are intrigued and are interested to stay with you longer. They want to know more about you and believe me... they will definitely brag about what their tutor has achieved or accomplished and how it makes them better students too.
