For tutors: how to make the first month with a new student count
Most students decide within a month whether a tutor is right for them. Here is how experienced tutors use that month.
The demo class is a two-way interview
Use the free demo to understand the student's level and gaps, not to show off. End it by telling the parent exactly what you would do in the first four weeks.
Week 1: set the baseline
A short diagnostic test or conversation to map strengths and gaps
Agree on one measurable goal with the parent
Fix the schedule and stick to it — punctuality in week 1 sets the tone
Weeks 2 to 4: show visible progress
Send a short update after every class or every week. Parents renew tutors they hear from, not tutors they wonder about.
