Build a Fantastic Student Onboarding Process and Avoid the Overwhelm as a Teaching Business Owner
Sep 19, 2022As the owner of a dance studio, a language school, a music school, a creative club, the first few weeks and months of new students make or break your whole year.
A great onboarding process will save you an immense amount of time and stress; it will make it clear to your students, where to find answers to their most common questions, know where to go for their classes, where to find additional materials, how to pay or cancel their membership.
You can build an onboarding email sequence, build an FAQ page, or record a video series, whichever format is easier for you to create and for your community to consume.
In this video, I cover 19 elements I suggest you definitely include if they apply, to bring out the most of your onboarding process. I will also include here the full list of items under the video, so you can come back and access it easily whenever you need it.
