How can a tutor create his own online school to prepare for the exam for free?

Teaching individually is simple and straightforward, students and parents are loyal, but this limits you greatly. Learn how student acquisition, a clear lesson program and automation turn tutoring into a scalable online school.

A practical guide to creating an online school with SubSchool

Teaching individually is simple and straightforward, students and parents are loyal, but this limits you greatly. It is unlikely that you will be able to conduct more than 10 classes a day, and you will not be able to increase the price indefinitely. Therefore, you probably thought about creating your own online school and starting to conduct mass classes.

How does an online school differ from individual lessons? There are three key factors: the student search system, the lesson program, and automation.

Student search system

As a tutor, you can search for students through message boards, acquaintances, and students themselves simply by asking them to recommend you to friends. But if you plan to scale and do it quickly, then this approach is not enough. Even if each of your students brings one or two friends, it will take years to reach hundreds of students. You need a student search engine.

SubSchool is not just a platform where you can teach, but also an aggregator of courses. If you create an online school on our platform, we will help you find students.

You should not rely only on us, especially if you are a beginner without experience and feedback, or if you want to teach hundreds and thousands of students. We recommend creating and maintaining pages for your school on the social platforms where your learners already spend time.

Lesson program

It is easy to say that you will sell an exam preparation course, but it is much more difficult to answer what exactly the student will receive. You need a clear course program with a detailed list of topics, specific lessons, prepared presentations and homework assignments.

SubSchool lets you create courses and lessons with lesson and homework dates, presentations and structured homework. An accurate program helps learners understand what they will achieve and makes the course much easier to run.

Automation

When you have a handful of students, keeping track of every lesson and checking each homework assignment is manageable. At 150 students it is not. Notifications should remind students about lessons, the platform should grade objective tasks, and written answers should arrive in one organized workspace instead of being scattered across messengers.

Those are the processes SubSchool is designed to automate, while the teacher remains responsible for the learning experience.

How much does it cost to create your online school with SubSchool?

You can start for free. Public free classes can use the platform without a subscription. You can also publish paid courses and pay a commission only when students purchase them. Private enrollment options are available when you need to add your own students directly.
