Teaching students online.
Alhamdulilah, I managed to secure my first 3-5 students just through group chats on WhatsApp. Most of those students are abroad like Saudi etc. Does anyone have any advice on what equipment I would need to teach maths online in particular. Or any tools to make teaching easier online for both me and the students.

Thank you! I’ve heard the Zoom whiteboards are also good would you agree? I watched up to date 7 & wanted to come back to the website videos after first getting experience.

@Abdi kadir Jama I’m surprised to hear that I would’ve thought parents want tuition even more. Especially after mock results etc and students revising during holidays.

Never do anything half hearted
Guys, many of you are just starting your tutoring business. I know lots of you are already full time teachers and have responsibilities. However, you can't assume you will be successful in the tutoring space by being half hearted. All businesses need your full/undivided attention for it to be a success. When I started my company 3 years ago, I built it with 1 purpose. GET ME OUT OF THE UK ASAP. It worked alhamdullahi. Why ? Because it had to work. I tried everything to get my business to replace my salary income and with the permission of ALLAH, it did work. Don't be afraid, Don't be shy and go above and beyond your clients. You will find one day, if you stick to it and focus, you will achieve your goals. What's the 1 thing your going to do this weekend to get your tutoring business a step closer to success ?? Leave a comment below ! lets discuss now

I like how you said "it had to work", I've noticed every time I wanted something in life I came with that mindset of 'forcing' it to work WHILE having trust in Allah. Ultimately when a desire is placed in your heart its important you take action especially if its going to help you build your dream life full of barakah. Great point!

@Zakeria Hassan It’s going well so far. I’ve finalised my branding and leaflet, started reaching out to contacts, and I’m in the early marketing stage now. I’m getting everything set up and building momentum. I'm hoping to secure 3-5 students before the end of the year. If you know anyone who needs tutoring for SATs or is in KS2 please do let me know! That will be my focus group.

Registering a tutoring business name. Advice needed.
Do I have to register my name as a sole trader? Do I register with HMRC even before I even started? How do you protect your tuition name?

@Zakeria Hassan Thank you! You know after coming with your online tuition name I will be creating a leaflet but I’m not sure if I should physically hand it out or promote on social media first. What do you think?

Risky
I got a new client who asked me to teach their year 11 child, 2 hours every week. I said okay, I took him through the enrolment process and they loved it (including a 30 minute free consultation). I sent him an invoice for the whole month. He said he can't pay it all upfront. He will pay it on Monday on a weekly bases. Monday comes, the student is ready but the father has not paid. You messaged and called him but he does not pick up. It is possible the father forgot and will pay on Tuesday. What would you do and why? Vote and leave a comment !!!

Reschedule because number 1 time is money! You can find a different student willing to pay on time and take it professionally and seriously. Rather than someone whose parents are not consistent. How do they expect you as the tutor to be consistent?
