The enquiry that came in
while you were teaching.
One-to-one tutors, small tutoring agencies, exam coaches. The agent picks up while you’re mid-lesson, qualifies the subject and level, checks your diary, and books a trial lesson before the next parent finds someone else.
You can’t answer the phone with a child in front of you.
Parents enquire during the school run.
The 4 p.m. enquiry peak is the same hour you’re mid-lesson. Parents are calling three tutors. The one who calls back first usually books the slot.
Voicemail loses the warm parent.
A parent who’s nervous about their child’s exams won’t leave a voicemail. They’ll try the next name on the list and stop thinking about you by Friday.
Qualifying the enquiry is half the work.
Subject, level, availability, online or in-person, budget. A good first conversation is structured. The version you have at 9 p.m. on a tired Tuesday isn’t.
Takes the enquiry.
Books the trial lesson.
Calm with a nervous parent.
The agent recognises a worried-parent enquiry and responds the way you would - patiently, without sales pressure, with the right next step.
Knows your subjects, levels, rates.
Quotes from your own rate card. Says no politely to subjects you don’t cover. Books the trial lesson straight into your diary.
Picks up while you’re mid-lesson.
Rapid answer, every time. The enquiry that landed at 4:15 p.m. is in your inbox by 4:16 p.m. with everything you need to call back this evening.
Two new trial lessons before the end of the school day.
“"Two enquiries came in between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. while I was teaching. Both booked trial lessons. Before ECH, both would have called the agency down the road instead."”
