Study-skills coaching
Help an adult learner organize study tasks, revision plans and evidence of understanding.
What to price before starting
Check planning materials, accessible communication and legitimate study resources.
Use your own written quotes, including recurring costs and the cash you could lose. Owning equipment does not establish customer demand.
Skills you must be able to demonstrate
Listening, study strategy and realistic task planning.
Before the first payment
Agree the subject boundaries, support format and review points.
Keep the deliverable, exclusions, approvals and payment responsibility in writing. Do not treat a lead, an invoice or a promised reimbursement as money received.
Where this can go wrong
Coaching can be confused with tutoring expertise or a promised exam result.
Requirements and refusal boundaries
Respect assessment rules and do not complete graded work or claim guaranteed grades.
Confirm the exact activity with the relevant authority and insurer. The references below explain general issues; they do not approve this individual service in your jurisdiction.
A lower-risk validation step
Create a practice study plan for a publicly described learning objective.
Set a stop condition before spending: what evidence would make you decline, change scope or stop? A practice sample should never expose another person's confidential material.
