Factors to Consider
1. Starting Out
New teachers should aim to keep prices attractive until they establish a solid reputation. After gaining positive reviews and a steady student base, gradually increasing your rates can be beneficial.
2. Scheduling and Demand
If you frequently have a fully booked schedule and high demand from new students, it might be time to raise your rates. Track which time slots are in high demand and consider expanding your availability during these peak times.
3. Market Positioning
Analyze what other teachers with similar expertise and qualifications are charging. This includes looking at their teaching specialties, experience levels, and student reviews. This comparison will help you gauge a fair and competitive pricing structure.
Communicating Price Adjustments
Getting Feedback
Before increasing your rates, talk to your students and gather their feedback. Explain the reasons behind the change and find a middle ground that works for both you and your students.
Securing Current Rates for Existing Students
Give your students at least a month’s notice before implementing any price hikes. Encourage them to purchase lesson packages beforehand to lock in the current rates. You can also adjust prices manually for individual lesson requests or send updated lesson invitations.
