    Painless payments

    Let me share my thoughts with you on why and how to collect payments in advance and what else you need to become trustworthy, so people aren’t worried to pay upfront to 'a complete stranger' when they're considering starting tuition with you.

    Be coachable

    When someone gives you advice, the best you can do is to try it. That is, if you assess that it's good advice, of course. A little twist at the end of the episode shows whether I'm coachable or whether I only give advice and don't follow it myself. What do you think — am I coachable or not? Find out in the episode.

    Collaborate, don't compete

    Collaborating is a simple yet powerful strategy that I've been using to help my work-life balance (and also because it comes naturally to me). I can 100% recommend it for everyone. A collaborative environment is always better than one where everyone ruthlessly competes. An example of how I collaborate is my Maths Match, where I share info about leads that I can't cater for personally.

    When imposter syndrome kicks in — you're not a fraud

    In this rather long episode, I talk about impostor syndrome from a variety of angles and how to overcome it. If you're feeling imposter syndrome, then whatever your reasons for it are, try to let your mind flow when listening to this episode. You may find your personal reasons behind it, and that may help you repel these feelings for good.

    Don’t lose money when tech goes down

    Will you believe me when I tell you it's in your clients' interest for you to keep charging them even when you can't deliver the lesson? I'll reveal this and more interesting points in today's episode, which I know will be very relatable for so many educators. I've also mentioned more things in today's episode, so here's where it all leads: https://veronikaskyemaths.com/educators — more helpful information and networking meetings, all free.

    Choose your students wisely

    Today's episode can be summarised by a universal truth I learnt from others; let go to let in. And that's why it was difficult to talk about. It wasn't difficult to talk about the idea; it was difficult because it's a sensitive topic. So power through the examples, stay open-minded, and when you get to the end, you'll get the hopefully quite powerful wrap-up. Because, for a good work-life balance, you need to work with the people who are the right fit for you, as well as you are the right fit for them.

    Homework and your work life balance

    To give or not to give homework? While this is completely up to you and how you run your business, I'll share with you how homework can be implemented in your services (especially if that's what your clients want, while it may not be your default setup) without taking loads of time and affecting your work-life balance.
