Upgrading
I revised my rates and increased the price for individual lessons by 10 Litas.
My October timetable is crazy, I work from 9.00 to 21.00 with a lunch break
and short coffee breaks. I expect a long and barren summer plus the winter
break is never easy, so I need all the money that comes in.
I am happy to say that (after upgrading to a paid domain, too) the
number of emails/calls is very big and I cannot accommodate all students, so
I keep a waiting list. Naturally, many want to study after work, that is, 5 or 7
p.m. and that time slot is almost always taken.
The turnover is not high so far but I expect it with some students who
aren’t really putting English lessons as their priority. For example, I have an
elementary group that wants lessons once a week because the other day
is ‘good for leaving’. Talk about progress! But this time I’m getting less
ambitious and more practical-even if it’s an affair for one month, it’s
a cash affair, isn’t it?
