The PACK Method Online Course For Tutors Who Want To Get More Students & Pack Their Classrooms

What Makes Up PACK Method?

1. Pinpoint

The key step at the start is to know who exactly you’re selling to.

This sounds simple, but often tutors overgeneralise their market without knowing it.

Read More

“I am looking for parents who need tuition between primary 1 to jc2, English math science chinese”

Every 100 centres I consult with, I get at least 80 centres who will tell me this is their market.

That’s too general!

The result is that people don’t resonate with you, and they don’t end up signing up for anything that you offer.

Let me share with you a quick example of pinpointing the right market.

For example, offering tuition in general

Vs offering Secondary school tuition

Vs offering Secondary 2 tuition

Vs offering tuition for sec2 children scoring C in Science and looking to get a strong B to successfully stream into triple science stream in Sec3.

Do you see how the strength of the tuition services automatically improves as we narrow the market down?

One common objection is that the end-market might be too small.

Here’s a quick example to disprove that:

A brand we all know that starts with T, their initial positioning has always been for “elite students”.

The minority who gets the best only after they pass the entrance exams etc etc..

But do only elites end up signing up for their services?

No, almost everyone you know desires to get their child into T…

Marketing your tutoring services is essentially that way.

So ONE. Start with a clear and focused market.

So let me pose this question back to you again:

WHO exactly are you selling to?

In my Pinpointing process, I have a series of 16 questions to ask yourself to exactly pinpoint the type of parent and student, as well as their underlying problems –

Here’s 5 of them:

1. Which level/subject/grade combination is your ideal student?
2. What problems and pains do the students face?
3. What are the top 3 reasons they have not found a solution until now?
4. What do parents feel about their children (the student) not doing well? How aware are they of their child’s real problems and pains?
5. Do the parents/students want to be served by you and do you want to serve them?

In case I’ve not emphasised this earlier…

Tutoring is a unique market where the person who buys the service is NOT the consumer of the service.

And it gets more challenging when the parent and the student(child) both have different problems and perceived “solutions” to these problems.

This means you need to dig deep and pinpoint both the ideal parent AND ideal student you want.

One of the core things that will surface here once you’ve done it right…

Is the Real Underlying Problem (RUP) that they face… which you can solve.

When you know that, it clears the ground to let you then proceed to #2…

2. Assemble

This is the part where you get ammunition to attract your ideal parent.

There are 3 things you need to assemble to become the top choice for your ideal parent…

Read More

And you need to assemble them in this specific order (if not you might have to backtrack and do double work)

1. Tutor Positioning (TP)

The key to your positioning is that it should be unique and immediately beneficial to your ideal parent.

For instance.

“Problem Sum” Specialist for B children to reach A.

Could be one.

You know you’ve done it right when it’s punchy AND it immediately rings a bell when your ideal parent/student sees it.

There are many other ways to position especially if your market is crowded… there’s about 7 factors that you can consider.

2. Unique Method (UM)

After you position, you develop your unique method.

It should be based on how you actually teach.

Riding on my earlier example … it could be a 3-step way to solve problem sums that usually takes 5 steps.

Saving time for checking… securing more marks in the exam…

Most tutors usually don’t have a UM, and that’s why they fail to stand out and attract enquiries.

By the way, there’s also another big secret and benefit to developing this…

The unique method will also help you start to develop your tutor branding, which is essential if you ever want to expand next time…

Or if you eventually want to “sell” your proprietary method and handover to another tutor for retirement. 🙂

Last but not least, you need your…

3. Risk-Free Offer (RFO)

The Risk-Free Offer is basically your introductory opportunity to educate them about yourself and get their firm commitment to leave their name, email and phone number with you.

Generally speaking, there are 3 main offers you want to consider.
– An introductory webinar
– A trial class
– A consultation

Plus, you need to add various elements to make this a no-brainer.

There’s a complete list of 21 elements you can consider, for example…

Crafting attractive bonuses (there are ways to make this delivery-free on your end and bind them to a stronger commitment)

Guarantees (and no, it doesn’t always have to be a refund…)

And so on…

But all in all, it should be about 5-7 bullets of what your ideal client can expect to get when they enquire with you now.

It MUST be a good deal.

Whichever is more suitable, it depends on your profile.

With my clients, I provide templates and flows which they can use to:

Determine which offer is the most suitable for them AND their ideal parent…

As well as how to run and improve the offer effectively…

Once you have these 3, you’re then ready to move on to #3…

l

3. Copywriting

Good copywriting is one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal to differentiate and stand out vs other tutors.

This is because unlike products, tutoring is intangible.

Read More

Which means you gotta make extra effort to make it as tangible as you possibly can.

“Experienced tutors with 20 years experience, small class sizes, convenient location”

IS NOT good copy.

Good copywriting is…

When you actually begin to flesh out everything that you need to educate your prospects on things like.

Something that “hooks” their attention to read more…

The symptoms they are seeing…

The REAL underlying problem (RUP) they are facing…

The unique method (UM) that solves this problem…

Your positioning and credibility to deliver this unique method…

Proof that you have created results in the past…

Your Risk Free Offer (RFO) that is painless and easy for them to commit to…

Why they should commit now vs committing in the future…

A clear way to take action…

(p.s. see how you’ve assembled these in step 2 earlier?)

You can start to see how all this can’t possibly be compiled into 3 lines… 1 paragraph.

And definitely…

You can imagine that the ad gets pretty long.

And the surprising thing is…

It works better than short & brief copywriting!

Why?

Marketing is essentially sales in word form.

So compare this to a sales meeting.

Would you say a 1-minute sales meeting is more effective than a 30-minute sales meeting?

Of course not.

Or you can even compare this with movies.

Is a 1-hour low budget action flick better than a 2.5-hour marvel avengers movie?

You get the idea…

The same way it works for good copywriting.

It doesn’t have to be long. But it has to be enough to convince your prospect that you’re THE expert…

And the most logical choice they should go for.

If you get the right market,

They will read and digest every single word.

(Just like you’re digesting every word I’m typing right now)

The best part?

This means they are pre-sold on your “tutor brand” and likely to be quality enquiries who are more serious as well.

There are nuances to each segment and 11 steps in total…

But I’ve already outlined the overall copywriting flow for you above.

Once you get your copywriting down, you’re at the last and possibly most important step…

4. Key Channels

This is the last step of PACK and it’s also the most critical.

“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

Read More

If it’s not in the right channel, you’re not gonna get anyone.

As you know, I’ve done a lot of research and actual testing in this domain.

Flyers…
Forums…
Tutor Directories and Matching…
Online Marketplaces…
Google…
Youtube…
Instagram…
Website banners…
Even annoying ones that appear when you play your favourite phone game…

If you can name it, I’ve tested it.

When I pit them all against this one channel, they lose in terms of efficiency.

I think cost per enquiry is the most efficient measurement there is.

I’m just gonna give the answer right to you.

It’s Facebook / Instagram.

No matter what I pit against Facebook, it wins. Period.

Because it’s just so powerful compared to other channels.

– You can use it to target people within a 5km radius around your neighbourhood (even specific buildings if you want to)

– You can target specific interests that correlate with major examinations or test preparations.

– You can outline specific age groups who you know are likely to be parents of a certain children age group … you can even target parents and people who are married directly

And much more…

That’s the same reason why I’ve honed and developed a foolproof system to launch your Facebook ad.

It takes less than an hour to setup if you know how to use a computer…

And I’ve done it in a way where you don’t need a website, and you don’t need to pay for any support system at all…

So it’s budget-friendly (most tutors I work with operate on a really small budget compared to say, e-commerce)

P.S. Here’s a quick hint. If you’ve tried running Facebook ads and it didn’t work for you, you can probably locate the issue under step 1,2 or 3 of the PACK method.

Anyway…

The moment you implement the PACK Method correctly, you’ve done the heavy lifting work once and for all.

You don’t even need to maintain it much if you’re running on a small scale…

And you’ll get notifications on your phone to followup with…

It’s easy, and it’s friendly for busy tutors who really don’t have much extra time to spare.

[Play Enrichment & Robotics] “The initial advertisements were so successful that we’re still using them 3 years later… even managed to secure new franchisees!”

[Physics & Chemistry Tutor] “I saw results from the first day. Eventually, I was able to make back a lot more than I invested in them.”

FAQ

1. What does PACK Method stand for and why it's important?

PACK stands for Pinpoint, Assemble, Copy, and Key Channels.

It’s a four-step tutor marketing process I’ve used to work with over 50+ tutors over the past 5 years.

The reason The PACK Method is so important is because it provides a systematised, step-by-step approach to writing sales copy.

With Pinpoint, you’ll gain a strong perspective of your ideal parent/student as well as their Real Underlying Problem.

With Assemble, you’ll gather and craft the 3 Essentials that will help you stand out and be more attractive to your ideal parent/student — Tutor Positioning, Unique Method and Risk-Free Offer.

With Copy, you’ll have a step by step process and templates to write any form of tutor advertisement — that gets you more enquiries compared to what you’re currently doing.

With Key Channels, you’ll get all the latest insights and best practices to run digital marketing ads online using Facebook or Instagram… so you don’t have to waste money doing tests on your own.

2. Who can benefit from The PACK Method?

Pretty much any tutor

Or even teacher looking to leave school and start your private tutoring practice…

Be it academic subjects, or enrichment.

It can also work for businesses with similar models as tutoring.

Plus, this can also be for education consultants… or even freelancers & agencies who market, or plan to open a marketing arm for tutors & other educators. (I will likely have referrals for you too as I can’t serve all the tutor enquiries myself…)

With the PACK Method, you’ll be benefitting by having a complete system that teaches you how to get enquiries.

With the PACK Method, you’ll finally get full control over your number of students once and for all.

Having said this… let me also lay out-

Who is this NOT for?

– Tutors not willing to put in work to learn like a student, make mistakes and improve themselves

– Tutors who are not ready to set aside a marketing budget of at least $15 a day for 1 month

– Tutors who already have a highly sophisticated marketing engine… getting consistent students already and you don’t need additional help at all

– Tutors who are already at full capacity

– Tutors who do not want to handcraft success marketing campaigns or work with simple technology at all

– Tutors who do not want to invest in themselves and their own business

– Tutors who expect a miracle pill and instant results

If you belong to any of the above, the PACK Method is NOT for you.

3. Is the PACK Method just for writing Facebook ads?

The PACK Method was originally created to help tutors get more students using Facebook ads.

But as you can see inside the program… it also works to virtually any type of marketing you do as a tutor.

You can apply these to your flyers

On your tutor directory assignment postings…

Even to get more referrals

The options are endless, as long as your objective is to get more students. The PACK Method will apply to you.

5. Is this a limited time offer?

This part is totally the “urgency” part…

Where I’m telling you it’s urgent to get The PACK Method today while it’s still online…

So you buy today, instead of putting it off until tomorrow.

In this section, I’ve got to tell you that this website could be taken down at any time…

And that’s pretty standard marketing stuff…

Although in this case…

It really is also true.

The reason for this “scarcity” here…

Is because I’m really not sure how my clients are going to react to this page or offer…

And considering they’re paying me upwards of $36,000 per year to be trained in The PACK Method…

Yet you’re getting the whole program today, for 1/100 of the normal cost…

If my clients are too pissed about this…

Then I really will take this page down and stop offering The PACK Method to the public.
