  • How many students do you have in total? Can you make a living from your tutoring job?
    Best answer

    I have 1 student on LiveXP at the moment. I've had lessons with many students on other platforms, but they are not regular students. I could probably make a living from my current tutoring situation if I lived in other countries, but not in the US, where I currently live.

  • How long did it take before you got your first student?

    In my case, it took over 2 months to get the first student on LiveXP. I was highly surprised, can even say confused, when I got the unexpected notification from the platform. 😂

    Best answer

    Effective time management for online tutoring is all about finding the right balance. Prioritize your students' needs and set clear objectives for each session. Use time-blocking to create dedicated teaching and preparation time, but remember to take regular breaks to recharge and stay fresh. Also, open and effective communication with your students is key. Create a friendly and positive learning environment to keep them engaged. Continually seek feedback, be adaptable, and keep organized records of student progress. It's also important to establish a daily routine that respects both your work and your student's preferred learning style and method. Stay up to date with the latest teaching trends and policies to keep your tutoring fresh and relevant. Most importantly, stay motivated and passionate about your role as a tutor.

  • How was your first experience with online lessons?

    Did you feel nervous, shy, etc.


    Best answer

    It was totally strange and unfamiliar, especially in group classes .I think one of the most important factors that helped me succeed was engaging the students by increasing interactivity and implementing new online teaching methods.

  • What is working well with your child’s education that you would like to see continued?

    This question is for parents.


    Best answer

    It would be nice to see children's efforts and improvements, as parents always told me, they always enjoy the process and outcome, but in my experience parents pay more attention to the outcome; I never suggest it! it's better to focus on process, if the process is well and interesting then the outcome will be great!
