⚠️ Why demos fail:

Families book home tutor demo—then treat it like a meet-and-greet.

You need a lesson audition.

🎯 Step 1: Define Demo Success (One Sentence)

Examples:

• “Explain why I lost marks in these three board questions.”
• “Fix my integration speed without skipping theory.”

👉 Fuzzy goals → fuzzy outcomes.

📍 Step 2: Prepare Materials (Send or Show Live)

• Last report card / recent test
• One chapter name + 5 representative errors
• Calendar constraints (honest)

🧪 Step 3: During the Demo—Watch These Signals

• Diagnosis before drilling?
• Checks mini-understanding?
• Assigns two crisp tasks—not “study chapter”?

Score:

👉 Under 20/30 → move on.

📊 Step 4: Seven Post-Demo Questions

1. What’s the 4-week plan—chapter names?
2. Weekly hours vs self-study expectation?
3. Test cadence?
4. Fee structure—including cancellations?
5. Parent communication rhythm?
6. References or sample progress artifacts?
7. Start date + slot lock?

🚫 Step 5: Red Flags

• ❌ Pure sales, no teaching
• ❌ Won’t discuss plan on paper
• ❌ Pressure for instant yearly payment

💡 Step 6: Demo vs Paid Trial

Strong demos may still need 1–2 paid trials—that’s OK if terms clear.

📈 Step 7: After Booking—Track Early

First 14 days:

• Was homework reviewed?
• Did mistakes repeat?

🔗 External Linking Opportunities

• Board exam schedules / syllabus portals.

🔗 Internal Linking Opportunities

• /hometutor/my/requests/ tracking
• /hometutor/ browse

🎯 Actionable Conclusion

Request tutor demo online—then judge teaching.

Prepare materials + scorecard + seven questions.

❓ FAQ

1. How long should demo be?

Often 45–60 minutes effective instructional time.

Yes—compare while memory fresh.

3. Child nervous?

Normal—judge tutor patience + pacing anyway.

4. Parent attends?

Recommended up to Class 10; older: student-led with debrief.

Serious yellow flag—reschedule once max.
