A live private lesson is different from a pre-recorded course sale. You should explain the student's level and follow his progress. Choose a narrow subject you know well: for example, speaking practice at the beginning level or a specific mathematical topic.
What's going to change at the end?
At the first meeting, ask about the student's goals, current level and time. Define a concrete output for the single lesson: like solving a problem on their own or completing a short speech. Don't promise a guarantee of success or a definite test score. Check the copyright of the books, visuals and work papers you're using.
Your first trial: step by step
The example 40-minute lesson plan has a start check, brief description, student practice and feedback sections.
- Try camera, microphone and screen sharing.
- Prepare a short level-setting paper.
- Write down the class hours, delays, cancellations and rescheduling conditions.
Costs and pricing
If you spend half an hour preparing for one hour of lessons and fifteen minutes on feedback, your total time is an hour and forty-five minutes. Calculate the platform cut, payment cost and material costs. When selling packages, explain the unused lessons and cancellation conditions; do not consider all future lesson revenue as earned on day one.
Before publishing or applying
When working with minors, arrange parental communication and the necessary permissions. Do not record lessons by default. If recording is necessary, explain the purpose, access and retention period in advance and obtain the required consent. Check your education and tax obligations for the location you are in.
