How to start teaching?
Clients choose teachers on the site on their own, so the number of your students depends only on the quality of your profile.
How to get a new student?
- The first method: student chooses you as a tutor on their own and book a lesson. In this case you will receive a SMS and an e-mail that you will have a lesson. At the appointed time you will spend a lesson with a student.
- The second way: student leaves the request on the site for all tutors. In your personal account you will see all actual requests and can offer your help to the student.
If a student interested in your proposal, he will write to you chatting online. Have the student to book his first lesson with you.
How to keep the student?
To record the student at a second and further lessons, you should:
- Positively spend the first lesson. Your task at the first lesson, "break the ice" with the student to find out his goals, to determine the current level of knowledge of student, assure him that you will cope with tasks and to agree on the schedule of classes.
- Record the student for the next lesson. You can (should) done it immediately after the lesson is completed. If the student doesn't have enough money on the balance sheet, you can book it in debt. At the same time inform the student about the need to fill up the balance before starting your next lesson.
- You should agree a regular schedule for 3-4 weeks in advance. This will benefit both sides.
- If the student is "lost" you should write to him on Skype and in chat to find out the reasons. Students often "disappear" after holidays, especially summer. In many cases, student is easy enough to "revive" - just to remind of the importance of continuous learning approach and offer to book a lesson.
- If after your actions the student doesn't come back, tell the course coordinator (contact information in your personal account), indicating the customer's full name and his data (ID).

- Conversion = Returned. Here is an example: in the past month to you was registered 10 students, out of which came to the second lesson for more than two hours 8 people. Then your conversion is 8/10 = 80%
- Excellent level - 80% and more
- Good level - from 50 to 80
- Satisfactory level - from 35 to 50
- Unsatisfactory - less than 35
Do not be discouraged because of the low rate of convertion. We recommend you to take sales courses, focus on customer. You can find a lot of information in the Internet. TutorOnline always ready to help you and give right decisions.
- LTV - the most important indicator, equal to the number of hours spent with one student. We believe that the higher the quality of education, more active, more friendly and positive teacher, the longer the student is engaged with him.
- Excellent level - 50 lessons and more with one students
- Good level - от 30 lessons to 50 lessons
- Satisfactory level - from 20 lessons to 30 lessons
- Unsatisfactory - less than 20 lessons

Schedule. Personal account. Your videoreference
Schedule lets you to define your schedule, to attract new students and to engage in a constant. Schedule opens by yourself.
Student can join the schedule in two ways:
- Student himself is recording on the lessons in available hours in your schedule.
- You can record the student in your schedule. For example, at the end of the lesson - of course, with agreement of student and the general agreement (recommended for regular students).
We strongly recommend you to always keep an open schedule at least 4 weeks in advance. Then you will be written to a greater number of new students and you will not lose permanent students.
Lesson begins at the appointed time.

Recommendations for tutors for recording videoreference for pupils on TutorOnline.ru
Videoreference - a visiting card of every online tutor. Pupils choice depends on it. Based on the experience with tutors videos, we made a number of recommendations, which should definitely pay attention during record your video.
General requirements:
- Background on the back of the frame plane - the most neutral.
Good example:
- Make the sound of your video as much as possible clear and at the optimum loudness. Too loud and too quiet video worse perceived by users. Note that in certain media is limited to the possibility of increasing the sound. If you have a headset with a microphone you can connect the microphone jack to the camera and put the headphones next to him, so that they were not visible in the frame, but were near to you, it will record higher quality of sound.
You can use the headset to record a video message if you are shooting at the webcam of your computer.
- Better to be in a quiet room.
- Pay attention to your position in the frame.
Good position in the frame:
- Try to record the best possible quality video.
- Try to make your videoreference for pupils more lively and positive: smile, highlight with intonation important points..
- The optimal duration of video from 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes.
Requirements to the text of your videoreference:
Videoreference - this is your first contact with potential pupils, so don't do a video lesson on your subject. Better to tell the pupil about yourself, about your experience (school, training, university, etc.), about successes of your pupils, how many years you teach and others.
Do not pay attention to personal details (age, marital status, etc.).
Start your videoreference:
-- Hello, My name is ... .. I am a tutor of ... (subject) ... on the site TutorOnline.net
(Mention the name of our site in videoreference NECESSARILY).
If you are teaching languages, be sure to demonstrate your pronunciation.
Examples of the videoreferences which can be used as a good example:
