How do you deal with losing clients ?
Losing clients is part of online tutoring business. It's important to keep churn low and retain your students but sometimes it evitable. Maybe the student is not progressing, maybe the parent found a cheaper option, maybe they decided to go for in person instead. Whatever the reason, what do you do ? How do you feel ? Let's discuss in the comment section !

I think it fundamental to keep your head up and reflect why you lost. As long as You give 100% to every lesson, one doesn't have to worry the decision made by the parent or student. Try to always improve to make sure you are delivering successful in terms of grade.
Would you rather a difficult parent or a difficult student ?
Which do you prefer and why ? Difficult parent can be a parent who lacks communications, reschedules a lot, late with payments (but always pays), looking for a discount all the time whilst expecting the world from you ? Difficult student is a student that literally does not want to learn, they are not out right rude or disrespectful but they do not appreciate your time or effort. They never do the homework and sometimes they cheat in class

I will not have difficult student. Why waste one hour of my day with someone who is not interested. I can wait for the late payment, if they have unreasonable demand but I am doing good work I can sleep knowing the parent lacks understanding but teaching a student is who is not interested is a waste from all sides.
Finding your nichè
After completing Day 2 I realised it’s much harder than I thought picking a specific subject to teach. I was good at English up to A-levels but I forgot the content as I am currently doing a primary PGCE at ucl. I don’t know if I should focus on advertising for year6/11+ or English GCSE as I feel English has a higher demand all year long. What would your advice be in choosing between them both? Should I spend a little time revising English before setting up a website in the future?

It is good to think everything you do as an investment. That alone will help you go far.

Your list @Zakeria Hassan makes alot of sense now. As a tutoring business you need to be effective and do what gives the highest return for the student and yourself. Putting 4 first gave me good understanding.
Would you rather Online tutoring or FACE to face ??
Let’s play a game: 1.) Would you rather make $10k per month doing face to face Tuition (whether centre or at the students home) in your current country 2.) Make $6k teaching students online from any country of your choice *Both have the same hours so technically the same amount of work ! State why in the comment section !! Let’s see what you guys think.

Interesting. I have studied physics in GCSE. At the moment I don't think I have the confidence teaching it. But for sure, it is something I should reflect on it. Thank you @Zakeria Hassan for the constant support. I appreciate alot.
