(Lacking Confidence) Columbia Math Master's Tutoring prices and client acquisition.
Hello everyone,
I tutor math and have my masters from Columbia and have been teaching for 700 hours online with over a dozen 5star reviews. I wanted to move away from working for a website and do my own business, but I don't have any social media presence. I do have a website that is still under construction, but that's it.
Would anyone have any advice for me on how to start and also with pricing? I've seen online that I should be charging $100 or more for lessons, but I'm just unsure. I know that I'm good at teaching, but I'm mostly just unconfident that people will pay those prices. If you have any advice then I would really appreciate it.
In particular, specific methods that I can see that have worked and can copy. Even if the price is decreased a little bit or the method is bare-bones simple just to get started and get clients quickly. Or even general strategies would be greatly appreciated.
I know that I have potential, but I just have this mental block.
EDIT: I had a plan to do group sessions for alg and calc a few weeks out and advertise it. Charge $60/session. But as my preparation for the each session I would make a small video explaining a topic from that session and fill my social media with that to show expertise. It just feels weird because the social media was empty and I don't know exactly where advertise etc. etc. Maybe paid facebook ads?
