In the world of online teaching, one of the most powerful features available is the ability to gift classes, courses, and digital products to students. This can not only enhance your teaching experience but also help you build stronger relationships with your students. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to effectively gift one-on-one classes, group classes, courses, and digital products using SuperTeacher.
Gifting One-on-One Classes
The first step in gifting is to offer one-on-one classes. Here’s how to do it:
- Log into your SuperTeacher account: Start by logging into your SuperTeacher page.
- Navigate to My Class Offer: Click on the “My Class Offer” option and select the “My One-on-One Class Packages” tab.
- Create a Class: Let’s say you want to gift a makeup class because your student missed class last week. Name the class, enter the number of classes, and set the class duration (e.g., 25 minutes). Leave the price at zero.
- Order of Classes: Choose the order in which you want this class to appear on your teacher page.
- Hide the Offer: Since this is a gift, we recommend hiding this offer from your public profile to control who can access it. Find the makeup class you just created and hit the green tick button to deactivate it immediately.
Now that the class is created and hidden, it’s time to assign it to a student:
- Access Your Students List: Go to the “My Students” tab.
- Select the Student: Find the student you want to gift the makeup class to.
- Assign Class Credits: Click the action button and select “Assign Class Credits.” You will see all the class packages you have created so far.
- Confirm Assignment: Find the makeup class you want to assign and confirm the action. Your student will receive an email notification.
Booking the Class for Your Student
Once the class is assigned, either you or the student can book the class:
- Find the Book Class Button: Look for the “Book Class” button.
- Access Your Calendar: This will take you to your calendar page.
- Select Available Slot: Find an available time slot and select the Class Credit. That’s it!
Creating Assigned Class Packages for Payments Outside SuperTeacher
If you receive payments outside of SuperTeacher, you might want to create assigned class packages that match your usual prices:
- Create a Package: Let’s say you sold 20 classes. Name the package “20 Classes for Elsa,” enter the number of classes (20), and set the price (e.g., $400).
- Assign the Package: Go back to your students list, find the student, and assign the bundle you just created. Your students won’t be charged the $400; they will just receive class credits. This is useful for tracking invoices and matching them with the ones you’ve already created for your students.
Gifting Group Classes
Now, let’s move on to gifting group classes. This can be a fantastic way to attract new leads or reward regular students:
- Access Group Classes: Go to “My Class Offer” and select “Group Classes.”
- Preview as Student: If you haven’t created a group class, check out our video guide on how to do so. If you have, preview your teacher page as a student.
- Find the Group Class: Copy your unique teacher page URL and paste it into a new window. Find the group class you want to gift.
- Gift the Class: Open the class and you will see a box that says “Gift this Class.” Enter the email your student used to register with SuperTeacher and confirm.
Using Coupons for Gifting Group Classes
Another effective way to gift a group class is by using coupons:
- Create a Coupon: You can create a coupon with a total discount and advertise it on your social media. Check out this short guide on how to create your first coupon.
- Share with Students: Make sure to share the coupon code with your students.
Gifting Courses or Digital Products
Let’s not forget about gifting courses or digital products:
- Go to Digital Product Creator: Add the digital product if you haven’t already. If you have, open the course using the magnifier button.
- Gift the Course: You’ll see a box that says “Gift this Course.” Enter your student’s registered email and hit gift.
- Discount Coupons for Paid Resources: If this is a paid resource, create a coupon with a discount and your student will appreciate it.
Creating a Marketing Campaign
To maximize your gifting efforts, consider creating a marketing campaign:
- Design a Flyer: Create a flyer that includes your coupon code.
- Use QR Codes: A QR code can direct students to your specific course, making it easy for them to access it.
Your students can also gift group classes to their friends, which can be a great way to promote your classes. Encourage your students to share their experiences and promote your classes through their social circles.
FAQs
1. Can I gift classes to multiple students at once?
Yes, you can either share your coupon code publicly when running onboarding campaigns, or privatly with specific students when doing referral marketing. You can also limit the number of coupon users and have full control over the number of students you want to attract.
2. How do students book their gifted classes?
Same as regular classes. If a course is gifted, they get access to it within their student dashboard and a link to it via email notification.
Thanks for following along! Gifting classes, courses, and digital products can significantly enhance your teaching experience and foster a deeper connection with your students as you can reward their efforts to refer you to their friends and family, give discounts on special occasions, or prompt them to purchase bigger class packages and courses. Happy teaching!
