They\u2019ve done an amazing job too, helping thousands of students boost their grades and confidence. Like with any skill, they\u2019ve also made mistakes and learnt from them as they\u2019ve tutored. So instead of making you start from scratch when you become a tutor, we\u2019ve collected some of our best tutors\u2019 learned wisdom to pass down do you.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udd16 Listen to the data<\/h3>\n<p>In our office, we can also see exciting things like *data traffic*, and *conversion rates*, as well as what sort of tutors get the most bookings (hint &#8211; tutors with videos on their profiles get more bookings!). In other words, we have all the handy information that tells us what brings customers to our site, when they book and what makes them book lots of lessons. This is what helps us decide where tutors could do with an extra hand, and therefore where we focus our training modules.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udc42 Hear the people<\/h3>\n<p>When we sent out a tutor survey last Summer, <strong>75% told us that they\u2019d like us to offer tutor training<\/strong>. You asked, we listened, and here we are!<\/p>\n<p>We also speak to parents lots every day. They tell us what sort of tutor they need for their child and why they need it; why lessons went well and how they could be improved. As a result we\u2019ve got a pretty clear idea of what makes a great lesson and where tutors could do with some more help &#8211; so now we\u2019re helping you out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"benefits\">What\u2019s in it for you<\/h2>\n<h3>\ud83d\udcc8 You get more work<\/h3>\n<p>So with a bit of data, a load of advice from parents and some of your suggestions too, you should be able to give the best lessons you can and get more work.
