Bonus: Starting & Growing Group Classes Roundtable

Listen on

Episode notes

This live roundtable discussion took place in my Facebook group (more to come) and as a bonus end to season 4, I'm sharing the highlights!

I invited three of my clients, Rysia Connolly, Charlotte Watson and Ruthie Burrows to share their insights on how they started, grew and what they continue to do to attract students.

Here are the three main discussion points we explored.

  1. Advice to people who are unsure how to get started?
  2. How many should be in a group class?
  3. How much do you charge per student?
  4. How do you handle homework?
  5. How do you handle students missing lessons, refunds etc.?
  6. When teaching online (or not), what tech, systems and logistics should be considered?


Some sound bites

"Even if you have one student, it's a snowball effect ... it's really worth sticking at."

"Trust is really important ... build the social proof and testimonials."

"Having a specific set of pupils ... working towards a common goal [helps with larger group classes]"

"Future proof, and make sure how you run things is sustainable."

Enjoy :-)
