I've had some students book a 2nd trial lesson with me, but I'm confused. I thought students were given 3 trial lessons, but they can only book 1 trial lesson per teacher.

I don't plan accept students booking a 2nd trial lesson with me unless there was a connectivity issue with the first one. But I'm also confused how they even have this function, as I see many students seem to have some kind of unlimited trial lesson.

I check out my student profiles before accepting a request as if you've had 50 lessons with 45 teachers then it's an immediate decline for me. Anyone else think/feel/do similar.

Answer

I think your approach is very reasonable. I actually raised the price of my trial lessons because I can't do ten hours of trial lessons and have that be worth my time.

If you raise the price of your trial lessons then you'll get more serious trial students. Still keep it at a "just trying things" price, but I'd say put it at $4 at least.
