We are going to look at a few do’s and don’ts for making your demo class a success. We will start at the very beginning and walk you through each and every step in detail.
Step 1: Making the contact
When you get a contact number from us, call the customer as soon as you can. Remember, we are not the only people the customer might have called. Therefore, the sooner you call, the better.
Here are a few points that you should remember when you call the customer for setting up a demo class:
- The first step is to identify yourself. The best way to do it is by introducing yourself to the parents by giving them “your name” and that you’re calling from Mera Home Tutor followed by the purpose of your call. For example, “Hi, my name is Rahul and I am calling from Mera Home Tutor for Class Xth Math tuitions.”
- Make sure to be polite, courteous and professional throughout the call.
- Be clear, to the point and speak in the language you are comfortable speaking.
- Before ending the call, make sure to take the address and also fix the time of the demo class.
Step 2: Pre-Demo Class
- For the tutors who teach all subjects, prepare the subject you wish to teach for the demo class. Looking at the time of the year, you can figure out what chapter could be going on at school.
- Brush up the topic that you’re most likely to teach. It is better to teach one topic, but at length rather than teaching different subjects or topics briefly.
- Plan your day accordingly so you’re not late for the demo class
Step 3: Demo Class
- Be on time. Don’t be 5 minutes early and definitely, not 5 minutes late. First impression is the last impression. Punctual people are often taken as more credible.
- Dress well. It doesn’t matter if you wear formals or business casuals, you should be presentable.
- Talk to the parents and try to find out what made them decide on hiring a home tutor. Learn about their expectations. This will ensure that you help the child learn to reach their desired goal.
- Before you start teaching, spend a minute or two to get to know the child. Try to understand the capabilities of the child. You can probe the child by asking about their previous exam marks. This will help you to match your frequency with child’s frequency.
- Another important thing before you start teaching is to analyze how much the child knows about the topic you chose. Remember, every child is different and knowing this would help you teach the child in the best possible way so that the child learns the most. Once you have explained, make sure that the student has understood and also try to evaluate them on it.
- Once the demo is finished, talk to the parents, give your feedback and also set up time for the next class.
Lastly, remember that if the parents try to negotiate the fee, ask them politely to contact Mera Home Tutor office directly in this matter.
