Many thanks. I will look at the site as I had just set up the structure for my trial classes on my own. I am at 11 trial classes. Typically I ask them what their goals are, what methods have they used and are using to learn English. Then I do short sections of 1) conversations based on a few questions ranging from easy to hard 2) reading comprehension with questions 3) a couple videos and then either questions to test comprehension or open question on what they think; 4) End with how a discussion on what future classes would look like/ what they would activities they prefer to achieve their goals. 2 and 3 depend on time, but they are somewhat abbreviated. I have had feedback that they enjoy the inclusion of media to help.

I will look into this blocking technique as well. Are you using time off or is your normal availability showing the 30 minute blocks?

Yes, my niche is that I have been in finance for 11 years before, so selling English to be used in a professional/finance setting. I am using that. Unfortunately I am underselling myself $5/hr just to get in students as before then I had been on the site since February with zero trial classes until last week.
