Setting your schedule and rates

Your availability and hourly rate are the two most important factors students consider when deciding to book you.

Setting Your Availability

Only open time slots when you are truly free to teach. This prevents the need for cancellations, which can frustrate students.

Keep your schedule realistic.

Regularly remove times that are no longer free.

Consider leaving small breaks between sessions for preparation.

Setting Your Hourly Rate

When choosing a rate, consider:

Your level of experience and subject expertise.

The academic level you are teaching.

The amount of preparation time required for each lesson.

What is fair and competitive within the Skooled community.

Building a Great Profile

Remember that your rate is just one part of the equation. A clear bio, a professional photo, and a helpful intro video help students see the value in your teaching, even if you charge a premium rate.

Updating Your Focus

As you grow, feel free to update your profile! If you start teaching a new grade level or a specialized exam prep course, make sure those changes are reflected so the right students can find you.
