Here are some tips for new teachers on italki:
Create a standout teacher profile:
- Talk about what makes you a good teacher with things like credentials, awards, passion for teaching, etc.
- Make sure your profile picture looks professional.
- Give an example or explain the style you like to use for teaching.
- You can link to your blog or personal website if you have one.
- Writing in the language of students that you want to teach.
Difference between courses and one-on-one tutoring:
Course-based lessons, where you are providing the materials, and one-to-one tutoring sessions, where the student is providing the materials, should be set at different prices. A lower price for the one-to-one tutoring sessions is a good way to show off your teaching style and get students to give you a try. For your course-based lessons, each course you create can be set at a different price. For one-to-one tutoring sessions, the price is set under the Edit Profile tab.
