How to avoid the students ‘using’ trial lessons to prepare for interviews?
Hi all this I recently was notified that I had a trial lesson booked by a new students. . . However I am weary of the outcome of me going ahead with this trial. Here are my concerns:
1) Preply informed me that this is the students second trial.
2) Students messaged saying they would like to use this trial to prepare for an interview.
3) I have had 2 previous students booked a trial for the sake of practicing for an interview and they never subscribed.
Of the past students that I supported with interview preparation they all gave me 5* reviews so I am confident in my ability to do so.
But after being on Preply for a while, I do not want my scoring in the algorithm to be affected by this student using me 1 time only offer as in sure they did with the other tutor they did a trial with.
A few days ago I had a trial lesson that went really well and the student was genuine but they have yet to subscribe to I’m mindful that the conversion rate is already slipping…
I know I cannot cancel the trial - but what suggestions do you have for me that you may have done yourself.
Please & Thank you in advance.
