"Sticking Points" - Tips for Attracting more Students

"Sticking Points" - How to Attract More Students

Greetings!

We use the term "Stick Sticking to Adhesive

ing Points" to refer to those areas of a tutor's profile that "sticks to" or that adhere to a parent's or student's tutorial request.

The 5 main "sticking points" have always been:

Subject Area / Expertise
Availability / Time
Location
Rate

However, whenever a prospective parent or student views your profile for the first time, what really "sticks out" are:

5. your Narrative
6. your Testimonials
7. your Resume
8. your Payment Options
9. your Photo

So you might ask, "Would you hire YOU as a tutor without #5-#9?"

We want you to attract more attention, receive more views and get more requests and ultimately more tutorials. But these will only happen when your profile "sticks out" so parents and students can view you as credible and professional.

So, if you want your profile to "stick around" and you want us to "stick by" you, you will have to do your part to "stick with it".

Sincerely, Henry

View, Compare & Enhance

How does your profile
"stack up" or "stick out" compared to other profiles?

Here's a search for math tutors across country. Use the sort feature by clicking on the blue header bar to compare tutors by the same city or state, by years of experience,

by number of students and by hourly rate.

Some tutors frequently return to their profile's VIEWS. See the number in the bottom right hand corner of your public profile? This feature enables tutors to gauge how many people have opened up their profile since the date of their interview. As more and more potential clients visit our site, you should be able to see how much interest your profile is generating.

If your views are low, there are many possible explanations. Whatever the reason, you may want to consider enhancing your profile so it has all the possible information a parent or student would need to know to make an informed choice.
