A student can reduce the cost of their tutoring through a referral program. A (primary) student (you) tells others (secondary students) about my tutoring service. The secondary student lets me known who (the primary student) referred them so they can get 50% off their first hour. (I ask new students how they heard about my business during our first contact.) I record the name of the primary student in the information about the secondary student, and every hour the secondary student works with me, the primary student is credited with $5.
While there is quite a variation in the amount of time any particular student requires throughout their course, I've found the average time students need is between 10 to 20 hours. This amounts to a savings of $50 to $100 to the referring student. I have had some students in the past that were able to get their tutoring cost-free by referring many secondary students.
Note however, telling ten potential secondary students usually results in only one or two students calling me. And only about half of those decide to become one of my students. With this in mind, you might take advantage of the many subjects I tutor. In other words, you can talk to students that are in other courses as well.
