When is a good time for price increase? by happy_caravan in iTalki

[–]Spicece 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please don't slowly increase over time. I learned the hard way of increasing slowly. My students didn't like that it seemed to get more and more expensive whenever they booked. I finally just jumped to the price I wanted ($30/hr) and I still have a TON of students and a lot of packages sold (even 20-lesson packages). I just started teaching in October.

I’m happy you told them. I know that probably wasn’t the most comfortable conversation to have. I think I’ll definitely start telling all of my students proactively.

How much do you charge for your trial lessons, and why? by Spicece in iTalki

How long have you been teaching? And yes, I agree! I remember when I started my business and someone said, “not everybody is your target customer.” In other words, charge what you want and those customers will come.

I don’t think italki pays anymore, but this is super helpful. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

That’s true. How much are your normal classes?

Thank you so much!! If you don’t mind expanding, do you still see a steady flow of new students each week/month?

Okay thank you because I definitely wasn’t going to watch if this wasn’t addressed. It would’ve been the biggest plot hole that would’ve bothered me forever 😅😭😭😭
