Guidelines for Teaching Contracts - Setting Up Payment Rules from the Outset

Janine Bray-Mueller

Sinopsis

What happens to your teaching business when students don't pay or don't pay on time?

There aren't any rules unless you put them into place yourself. Set the rules at the first meeting because a freelance teacher's income is jeopardised when they are not paid on time, and their bills cannot be paid. And that is why you should always set payment rules from the outset. A regular income - a steady cash flow - keeps your teaching business alive. Remember, 80 per cent of businesses fail because they run out of money.

Make sure you have a teaching service contract detailing your payment policies: when students are expected to pay and what happens when payment is late when customers sit before you.

Teaching service contracts secure a legally sound footing for freelancers when making payment claims. It is their only legal and binding proof a teaching payment agreement exists between them and their students. In fact, should their relationship with one of their student turn sour, and they need a lawyer, the first thing they will be asked is: Do you have a contract?

Contracts are simple reality checks to decide whether freelancers can work with a customer. If both sides respect the contract, they can work together.

A lawyer is the best person to guarantee a contract is made correctly. On the other hand, they are expensive. For most teaching freelancers, a lawyer is a luxury they cannot afford - so a self-made contract must suffice. A self-made teaching service contract is better than none. If you have never prepared a business contract before, you may be quite daunted by the prospect of creating one.

For example:

§ What details must be written into contracts?
§ What elements are usually forgotten in agreements (absenteeism, etc.)?
§ Situations when a lawyer must check the wording in contracts

For this purpose, freelancers can use a teaching service agreement example as a basis for creating their own contracts. The contract example presented is for educational and demonstrative purposes.

The Halo Effect - How First...

William Rands

First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.

Hungarian Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Hungarian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Hungarian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Hungarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Hungarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Hungarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Hungarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Hungarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
