– Air conditioning, or at very least a fan and heater.
– A large enough room for group lessons.
– A key for the room they’ll be using. This can be checked in/out each week at the front office if the tutor isn’t allowed to take the key home with them.
– Opportunity to advertise in the school newsletter. This can be paid advertising, but we usually ask that the school places the first advert free of charge, to help kick start the program.
– The opportunity to put up posters in the school. This could be on notice boards or even just around the music rooms.
– To be the dedicated guitar tutor for that school. This means not having a second tutor who teaches different students or on different days. The reason behind this is that our tutors are dedicating their time to your school and so deserve some dedication in return.
– Raised awareness by staff. This means having the music teachers inform their classes that lessons are available, handing out flyers to the classes for those interested and even making announcements at assemblies or in school newsletters.
– Not to be charged by the school for using their facilities. Of course we understand that this may be a necessity, but our point of view is that by running a tuition program we are benefiting the school by improving school culture and the prevalence of music. We also offer very competitive rates and any additional costs will most likely mean a rise in student fees, which in turn prevents people from becoming clients.
– Access to the school internet is very beneficial for both the students and teachers as it allows us to use online documents to assist students in their learning.
– The opportunity for students (and perhaps the tutor) to perform at assemblies and other school events. Doesn’t have to be on stage, it could simps be background music at a school event.
– The opportunity for the tutor to visit classrooms to introduce themselves and explain what they do at the school.
