So I want to do some private tutoring at our local library and I was wondering if you guys had any advertising ideas. Any good websites for it etc...
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I want to advertise tutoring
- Thread starter sidious618
- Start date
Craig's list, go to the various schools and let them know, churches too, check with the local paper and see if they have "weekly freebies" for services like tutoring.
Depends how much you want to scale it up.
I suggest starting small - the advice you've already received is solid. Local cheap advertising with flyers, cards, and classifieds is the way to go. I'd also advise getting a website where you can list your qualifications, experience and the kind of tutoring work you plan on doing and maybe some testimonials from people you've already helped. Everyone uses the net these days, and it's useful to have a simple and comprehensible website and professional sounding email address to give out. Go to some local school events too (with permission of the staff there, of course), hand some business cards around, schmooze a little with the parents, etc, etc.
Thanks guys.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you plan to tutor, and what age level?
Writing, grammar, SAT English Prep etc. It'd be for high schoolers and under graduates. I'm currently working on an English bachelors degree and a master in education.
Like others have said, I would suggest flyers and a website has a good start. Post flyers and adverts all around the local colleges. For High School, my best suggestion might be to become a substitute teacher in a local school district. It's a good way to meet teachers, and a lot of times it's the teachers who recommend a tutor. Or if you are on good terms with any of your former teachers, you might want to talk to them. My former students will sometimes offer to tutor, so that might not be a bad way to go.
Local Newspapers and some leaflets in librarys etc... would be a great place to start.
