Can I change my lesson pricing later?
Yes, absolutely! As a tutor on Turkish Mate, you have the flexibility to adjust your hourly lesson rate at any time through your profile settings.
How to Change Your Rate
Updating your price is simple:
- Log in to your Turkish Mate tutor account.
- Navigate to your profile or account settings section.
- Locate the field where your current hourly rate is displayed (often under "Pricing" or "Lesson Settings").
- Enter your new desired hourly rate.
- Save your changes. Your profile will then reflect the updated price for future bookings.
This allows you to adapt your pricing as you gain experience, add qualifications, or respond to market dynamics.
Important Considerations Before Changing Prices
While you have the freedom to change your rates, we recommend considering the following for maintaining positive student relationships and trust:
- Impact on Current Students: Sudden or significant price increases may not be well received by your existing students, especially if they have been learning with you for a while at a lower rate. Consider communicating any planned increases to them beforehand if possible.
- Frequency of Changes: Avoid changing your prices too frequently. Constant fluctuations can appear inconsistent and may erode student trust or make it harder for them to budget for lessons.
- Market Competitiveness: Ensure your new price remains competitive within the range of tutors offering similar experience and services on the platform.
- Justification: Be prepared (even if just for yourself) to justify the price change based on increased experience, new qualifications, added value, or significant changes in market rates.
A gradual approach or providing advance notice to current students is often the best strategy when increasing your rates.
Key Takeaway: Yes, you can change your lesson price anytime via your Tutor Profile Settings. However, be mindful of how sudden or frequent changes might affect your students. It's best practice to maintain consistency and consider communicating significant increases to existing students.
