How to Get Started

Step 1

▼ Read step

Pick 1-2 subjects where you excel. Language tutoring (English, German, Portuguese) has the highest demand. Exam prep (IELTS, GMAT, university entrance) commands premium rates of €30-60/hr.

Step 2

▼ Read step

Sign up on Preply, iTalki (for languages), Superprof, and TutorMe. Create a professional video intro — tutors with video get 3x more bookings. Offer your first 3 sessions at 50% off to build reviews.

Step 3

▼ Read step

Develop lesson templates, homework sheets, and progress tracking. Students who see measurable progress stay 4x longer. Use Notion or Google Sheets to track each student's journey.

Step 4

Offer discounted packages: 10 sessions for the price of 8. This locks in commitment and guarantees income. Aim for 60%+ of your students on packages rather than one-off sessions.

Step 5

Once you have 20+ individual students, offer group sessions at €10-15/student for 4-8 students. This triples your hourly rate while giving students a more affordable option.
