Once someone opens your profile, you’ll want them to book time with you. Think about your bio as a resume that shows someone that you’re the best fit for their needs and gives them all the reasons to choose you.

The most effective bios cover the following points:

• What topics you teach.
• Your length of industry experience.
• Your relevant formal qualifications.
• If you work with children, depth of experience with youth.
• Any awards or recognition you’ve received.
• A bit about yourself – your family, your interests, your personality.

Many people have trouble working out what to charge, especially when first starting out.

How much you charge is entirely your decision. Often pricing can depend on different factors, such as the knowledge you have, how many competitors there are, the level of your experience and skill, your location and language and, most importantly, the ratings and reviews you receive.

It’s common for instructors to charge less at first to get experience and then increase their prices as their reputation and popularity builds.

Please Note: all pricing on Guruu is in AUD. It’s important you know these payment terms of use, so be sure to read them.
