    Unfortunately, the two situations are not really comparable as they are different instruments – so enquiry numbers are very different. With on average 4.14 enquiries per month coming in for Jake during 2017, compared 18.00 enquiries per month for Eliza so Eliza has so much more scope to increase prices and retain her teaching capacity – even a slight overshoot in prices for Jake could see his enquiry numbers drop below a level that makes his teaching viable as a full time income.

    A carefully considered approach for Jake is really important to keep the enquiries at a level that makes the teaching viable – lets explore the locational ideas, is there a possibility to get more students to travel to you?:)
