7 Keys to Attracting More Students & Ready-to-Copy Email Templates

📷 Key 1: Upload a Bright, Smiling Portrait Photo

Profiles with a clear, well-lit, smiling photo receive up to 4 times more trial lesson requests than profiles without a photo or with dark/sunglasses photos. Choose a clean background, dress smart-casual, and look warmly into the camera.

💴 Key 2: Reassure Students with Our Fixed Lesson Rate

Our 1-on-1 lesson rate is fixed nationwide at ¥3,000 per 60 minutes (¥4,500 per 90 minutes) and ¥4,000 per 60 minutes for 2-on-1 pair lessons, paid in cash at each session. Mentioning that you welcome flexible scheduling gives students peace of mind.

🚉 Key 3: Select All Reachable Train Stations & Online Options

Students search primarily by Train Line / Station Name and Online Availability (Zoom / Skype / Google Meet). Check every major terminal and transfer station along your commuter line where you can comfortably travel at your own expense.

📝 Key 4: Explicitly Welcome Beginners & Exam Candidates

Include a warm welcome line such as: "Complete beginners and exam candidates (DELE (A1–C2), SIELE, and Spanish Proficiency Test / Seiken (Grade 6 to Grade 1)) are warmly welcome! I will speak slowly, write down key phrases, and guide you step by step." This single sentence dramatically increases bookings.

🎯 Key 5: Describe How You Structure a 60-Minute Lesson

Students love knowing what a typical 60-minute session looks like. Explain your flow: e.g., "10 min warm-up conversation → 30 min textbook/grammar or exam practice → 15 min role-play & pronunciation → 5 min review & homework."

🔄 Key 6: Log In to Your Tutor MyPage at Least Once a Month

Our search engine prioritizes active tutors based on their most recent login timestamp. Logging in to your Tutor MyPage once or twice a month keeps your profile near the top of student search results.
