Clozo Academy Proprietary Curriculum — The Tutoring Business Growth System

When: A parent calls or submits an inquiry through your website

Goal: Schedule a consultation or diagnostic assessment

Time: 5-10 minutes

Opening:

"Thank you for calling [Business Name]. This is [Your Name]. How can I help you today?"

Discovery:

"Tell me a little about your child — what grade are they in, and what subject are you concerned about?"

[Listen and take notes. Let them tell the full story.]

"That sounds really challenging. How long has this been going on?"

"What have you tried so far to help?"

Value Build:

"I specialize in exactly this situation — [brief description of their situation] students who [specific challenge]. I have worked with [number] students in [area/school district], and the good news is that this is very addressable with the right structured support."

Transition to Consultation:

"What I would recommend as the next step is a free 20-minute consultation where I can learn more about [child's name]'s specific situation, and we can talk about what a structured tutoring plan would look like. I also offer a diagnostic assessment that gives us a clear picture of exactly where [child] stands and what we need to focus on. Do you have time this week or next?"

Schedule:

"Great. I have [day] at [time] or [day] at [time]. Which works better for you?"

"Perfect. I will send you a confirmation email with the details and a brief questionnaire to help me prepare. I am looking forward to meeting you and [child's name]."

Closing:

"Thank you again for reaching out. Taking action now is the best thing you can do for [child's name]'s academic future. I will see you on [day] at [time]."

When: In-person or video consultation with parent and student

Goal: Build trust, diagnose needs, present your program, and enroll

Time: 45-60 minutes

Part 1: Discovery (10 minutes)

Opening:

"Thank you both for coming in today. Before we talk about solutions, I want to understand [student's name]'s situation fully. [Parent name], can you tell me about what prompted you to reach out?"

[Listen actively. Take notes. Ask follow-up questions.]

Key discovery questions:

To the student:

"[Student], I want to hear from you too. What feels hardest about [subject] right now?"

"If you could wave a magic wand, what would change about [subject]?"

[Listen more than you talk. This is the most important part of the consultation.]

Part 2: Diagnosis (15 minutes)

Transition:

"Thank you for sharing all of that. What I am hearing is [summarize their situation in 2-3 sentences]. This is actually a very common pattern, and it is exactly what my program is designed to address. Let me show you what I found during [student's] diagnostic."

[Present diagnostic results if completed, or walk through a few sample problems with the student to identify gaps in real time.]

Sample live diagnosis:

"[Student], I am going to give you a problem that looks simple but tells me a lot. Take your time and talk through your thinking."

[Observe carefully. Note specific skill gaps, anxiety levels, and problem-solving approach.]

To the parent:

"What I am seeing is that [student] has a solid foundation in [area] but there are some gaps in [specific skill] that are making the current material feel impossible. This is actually good news — these are very fixable gaps, and once we address them, [student] will start feeling much more confident."

Part 3: Prescription (15 minutes)

Transition:

"Based on everything we have discussed and what I observed today, here is what I recommend..."

[Present your program using your program materials.]

"I recommend our [Program Name]. It is a [duration] structured program designed specifically for students in [student's] situation. Here is exactly what that looks like week by week..."

[Walk through the curriculum map.]

"Every session follows a structured framework: we review, teach new concepts, practice together, and then [student] works independently so we know the learning is sticking. I track progress every week so you can see exactly how [student] is improving."

[Show the milestone tracker and progress dashboard sample.]

"Here is what you can expect: most students in this program see [specific outcome] within [timeframe]. [Student] has the ability — what has been missing is the structured, individualized approach that addresses exactly the gaps we identified today."

Part 4: Enrollment (5 minutes)

Transition:

"Let me show you exactly what the investment looks like..."

[Present your pricing sheet.]

"I have three program options. Based on [student's] diagnostic and what we discussed today, I recommend the [Tier 2 Name] — it includes [key features] and is the best fit for [student's] needs. The investment is $[amount] per month, or $[amount] for the full semester with a 10% savings."

[Stop talking. Wait for their response.]

If they say yes:

"Wonderful. I am so excited to work with [student]. I will send you the enrollment agreement tonight, and we can schedule our first session for [day]. Welcome to the program."

If they say they need to think about it:

"Of course — this is an important decision. What specific questions do you need to work through?"

[Address their concerns. See objection handling scripts below.]

"I will send you the program materials and diagnostic summary to review. Can I follow up with you on [specific day] to see if you have any other questions?"

When: Presenting diagnostic assessment results to a parent

Goal: Create urgency and position your program as the solution

Time: 15-20 minutes

Opening:

"Thank you for having [student] complete the diagnostic. I have analyzed the results thoroughly, and I want to walk you through exactly what I found."

Present the results:

"Here is the overall picture: [student] scored [X]% on the diagnostic. For [grade level], the expected proficiency is [Y]%, so there is a meaningful gap — but not an insurmountable one."

[Show the visual score breakdown by skill area.]

"When I break this down by skill area, here is what I see:

Create urgency:

"Here is why I am concerned: [Skill 2] and [Skill 4] are the exact skills [student] needs for [next grade/upcoming course]. Without intervention, these gaps will make next year incredibly difficult. The good news is that with structured support, these are absolutely fixable."

Present the solution:

"My [Program Name] is designed exactly for this profile. We focus intensively on [Skill 2] and [Skill 4] while building on [student's] strength in [Skill 1]. Based on my experience with similar students, I would expect to see meaningful improvement within [timeframe]."

Ask for enrollment:

"I have an opening starting [day]. Would you like me to hold that spot for [student]?"

When: Presenting your packages during a consultation

Goal: Present prices with confidence and guide parents to your target tier

Time: 3-5 minutes

Setup:

"Before I share the investment, I want you to know that every family I work with tells me the results their child achieves are worth far more than the program cost. I do not take the investment lightly, and I make sure every dollar delivers measurable progress."

Present the tiers:

"I have three program levels designed for different needs and commitment levels.

[Tier 1 Name] at $[X]/month includes [brief description of what's included]. This works well for families who want [outcome].

[Tier 2 Name] at $[Y]/month is what I recommend for [student's] situation. It includes everything in [Tier 1] plus [key differentiators: full curriculum, progress tracking, priority scheduling]. This is our most popular option because it includes the structured approach that produces the best results.

[Tier 3 Name] at $[Z]/month is for families who want the most comprehensive support. It adds [premium features: test prep, study skills, direct messaging, parent strategy calls]."

Guide the choice:

"For [student's] specific needs — [reference their diagnostic results] — I believe the [Tier 2 Name] is the right fit. The monthly investment is $[amount], or you can prepay the semester for $[amount] and save 10%. Which payment option works better for your family?"

[Silence. Wait for their response.]

Objection: "It is more than we expected to spend."

Response:

"I completely understand. This is an investment, and it is important that it feels right for your family. What I can tell you is that the families who commit to the full program see results that isolated sessions simply cannot produce. When [student] raises their [subject] grade from [current] to [target], that affects their GPA, their confidence, and their options for [next year/college/honors classes]. Many parents tell me that the peace of mind alone — no more homework battles, no more watching their child struggle — was worth the investment. That said, I want this to work for your family. Would the semester payment plan make this more manageable?"

Objection: "We need to think about it."

Response:

"Of course. This is a decision that deserves careful thought. To help with that, can I ask what specific questions or concerns you need to work through? I want to make sure you have everything you need."

[Listen to their specific concerns. Address them directly.]

"I will send you a summary of everything we discussed today, including [student's] diagnostic results and the program recommendation, so you have it all in one place. Can I follow up with you on [specific day]? And just so you know, I do have another family interested in that time slot, so I can hold it through [date] for you."

Objection: "We are talking to another tutor too."

Response:

"That makes complete sense — you want to find the right fit for [student]. As you compare, I would encourage you to ask three questions:

One, do they have a structured curriculum with defined milestones, or is it just homework help?

Two, how do they track and report progress so you know the tutoring is working?

Three, what are their typical results — do they have specific outcomes they can share from students similar to [student]?

These are the factors that make the biggest difference in outcomes. I am confident in what we deliver, and I would love the opportunity to work with [student]. But regardless of what you decide, I hope you find the support [student] needs."

Objection: "I need to talk to my spouse."

Response:

"Absolutely. This is a decision for both of you. Would it be helpful if I sent a written summary of what we discussed — including [student's] diagnostic results, the program recommendation, and the investment — so you have everything in one place for that conversation?"

"I will also include a few testimonials from families in similar situations. Sometimes it helps to hear from other parents who were in the same position. Can I follow up with you on [day]?"

Objection: "We are not sure [student] will cooperate."

Response:

"That is a very honest concern, and it tells me you know [student] well. Here is what I have found: when students start understanding the material and experiencing success, their attitude changes quickly. I have worked with many resistant students who became enthusiastic participants within a few weeks.

The key is that I make sessions engaging and build from where [student] is, not where they 'should' be. When [student] realizes that tutoring actually makes school easier, not harder, the resistance typically fades. And I will communicate with you regularly so we can address any concerns immediately."

Objection: "Can you do a lower rate?"

Response:

"I understand that budget is a consideration. My rates reflect the structured curriculum, progress tracking, and results that my program delivers. I do not discount my rates because I believe the value is there.

What I can offer is the semester prepay option, which saves you 10%. Or, if [Tier 2] feels like too much of a stretch, the [Tier 1] program at $[amount] still provides solid support. We can always adjust up once you see the results.

What feels like the right path for your family?"

The Assumptive Close

"Based on everything we discussed, I am confident that [Program Name] is the right fit for [student]. The next step is to get our first session scheduled. Do Mondays at 4:00 or Wednesdays at 4:00 work better for your schedule?"

The Choice Close

"Would you prefer to start this week or next week?"

The Summary Close

"Let me summarize what we have covered: [student] is struggling with [specific gaps]. My [Program] addresses exactly those gaps through [method]. You will see progress through [tracking method]. The investment is $[amount] per month. Does this feel like the right next step for [student]?"

The Urgency Close

"I want to be transparent — I only take on [X] new students per month, and I currently have [Y] spots for next month. I would love to reserve one for [student], but I do need to know by [date]. Does this feel like the right fit?"

Email 1: Thank You + Materials (Same Day)

Subject: [Student's] Diagnostic Results + Program Details — [Your Business Name]

Dear [Parent Name],

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I enjoyed learning about [student] and discussing how we can support [his/her] academic growth.

As promised, I have attached:

I held the [day/time] slot we discussed through [date]. After that, I will need to release it to other families.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. I would be honored to work with [student].

Warmly,

[Your Name]

[Contact Info]

Email 2: Value Add (Day 3)

Subject: A resource that might help [Student]

Hi [Parent Name],

I hope you are doing well. I came across this [article/worksheet/guide] about [relevant topic] and thought of [student]. I hope you find it helpful as you think through next steps.

I am still holding [day/time] for [student] through [date]. Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

[Your Name]

Email 3: Social Proof (Day 6)

Subject: How [Similar Student] turned things around

Hi [Parent Name],

I wanted to share a quick story. [Similar student], who was in a very similar situation to [student] — struggling with [subject] in [grade] — enrolled in our program last [semester]. Within [timeframe], [he/she] had raised [his/her] grade from [X] to [Y] and [specific emotional outcome].

I thought you might find this encouraging as you consider the path forward for [student].

I still have [day/time] available if you would like to move forward. Let me know either way.

[Your Name]

Email 4: Final Follow-Up (Day 10)

Subject: Last follow-up — [Student's] spot

Hi [Parent Name],

I wanted to follow up one last time about tutoring for [student]. I know timing and priorities shift, and I completely understand if now is not the right moment.

I will release the [day/time] spot I held on [date]. If the timing changes in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would welcome the opportunity to work with [student] whenever you are ready.

Wishing you and [student] all the best.

[Your Name]

The Gratitude Ask

"I am so thrilled about [student's] progress. It means the world to me when I see a student really start to believe in themselves. If you know any other parents who are going through what you were going through a few months ago, I would love to help their child too. I actually have a referral program — if you refer a family who enrolls, both you and the new family receive [incentive]."

The Specific Ask

"I have an opening on Tuesday afternoons. Do you know anyone at [student's] school who might need help with [subject]? I would love to fill that spot with a student from [School]."

After a Big Win

"That test score is incredible — [student] worked so hard for this. Moments like this are exactly why I do this work. If you know any other parents who could use support for their child, I would be so grateful if you passed my name along. I have a few business cards here if that would be helpful."

The Pre-Renewal Setup

"I have been thinking about [student's] progress. [He/She] has made such great gains in [area]. I would love to discuss what the next phase looks like. Can we spend 10 minutes at the end of next week's session talking about continuing?"

The New Goal Method

"[Student] has accomplished so much — [specific achievements]. I am incredibly proud of [his/her] work. Now I am thinking about what is next. With [student's] foundation solid, [he/she] is ready for [next level topic/challenge]. This is where students really start to excel. Can I show you what the next phase would look like?"

Handling "We Think We Are Good Now"

"I am so glad to hear you feel [student] is in a better place — that is exactly what we want. A few things to consider: first, students often regress when support stops too soon. Second, [student] has momentum right now that we do not want to lose. What if we reduced to [lower frequency] for a maintenance phase? This keeps [student] on track without the same intensity."

When a Parent Mentions Stopping

"I am sorry to hear that. Before we finalize anything, can I ask what is prompting the decision? Is it a financial concern, a scheduling issue, or something about the tutoring itself?"

[If financial]: "I understand completely. Would reducing frequency help? Moving from twice a week to once a week maintains progress while reducing the investment significantly."

[If scheduling]: "Let me see if we can find a different time that works better. Keeping [student's] momentum is so important."

[If about tutoring]: "I want to make this right. What specifically is not working? I am committed to [student's] success and I can adjust my approach."

The Pause Option

"If now truly is not the right time, would you consider a pause instead of a cancellation? We can hold [student's] spot for 30 days. Many families find that after a few weeks, they miss the structure and want to resume. There is no penalty for pausing."

The Initial Email

Subject: Tutoring Resource for [School] Families

Dear [Counselor Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am a [subject] tutor specializing in [grade level] students in the [School District] area. I hold [credential] and have worked with [number] local families, helping students raise their grades by an average of [X] letter grades.

I would welcome the opportunity to introduce myself and share how I support students who need academic help in [subject]. I know your time is valuable — would you have 15-20 minutes in the coming weeks for a brief meeting?

I have helped several students from [School] improve their [specific outcomes], and I would be glad to share my approach and materials with you. I also provide free diagnostic assessments and progress reports that you can share with teachers if helpful.

Thank you for your time and for everything you do for [School] students.

[Your Name]

[Phone]

[Website]

The Meeting Presentation

"Thank you so much for your time. I know how busy you are. I wanted to introduce myself so you have another trusted resource for families asking about tutoring.

I specialize in [subject] for [grade level], and I take a structured, diagnostic approach. Every student starts with a comprehensive assessment so we know exactly where the gaps are. I provide detailed progress reports, and I am available to attend IEP meetings or parent conferences if families request it.

My goal is to be a partner in student success, not just a tutor. I have helped [number] students from [School/District] achieve [specific outcomes], and I would be honored to support any families you think would be a good fit.

I have brought some materials for you — a one-sheet about my services and some referral cards you can share with parents. Would it be okay if I checked in once per semester to see if there is anything else I can provide?"

When: Offering a group program to current or prospective families

Goal: Enroll 4-6 students in a group tutoring program

"I am excited to tell you about something new I am offering this [semester/summer]. I am launching a small-group [subject] program for [grade level] students. It meets [frequency] for [duration] weeks, and it is designed for students who [specific situation].

Here is why I am excited about this format: students in small groups learn from each other, build confidence through collaboration, and often progress faster than in individual tutoring. The group dynamic creates energy and motivation that is hard to replicate one-on-one.

I am keeping this group small — only [number] students — so every child still gets personalized attention. The investment is $[amount] per student for the full [duration]-week program, which is [comparison to individual tutoring].

I already have [number] students enrolled, and I have [number] spots remaining. I thought of [student] immediately because [specific reason]. Would you like me to hold a spot?"

When: Consultation specifically for SAT, ACT, or admissions test prep

Goal: Enroll student in a test prep program

Time: 45 minutes

Opening:

"Thank you for coming in. The [test name] is one of the most important tests your child will take, and I want to make sure [he/she] is as prepared as possible. Let me walk you through exactly where [student] stands and what we need to do."

Present diagnostic:

"[Student] took a practice [test] and scored [score]. Here is what that means: [interpretation]. The goal score for [target colleges/type of school] is typically [target score], so we need to close a gap of [X] points."

Section-by-section breakdown:

[Show scores by section and identify the biggest improvement opportunities.]

"The good news is that [X]-point improvements are absolutely achievable with structured prep. What determines the outcome is not how smart [student] is — it is how strategically [he/she] prepares."

Present the program:

"My [Test] Mastery Program is an [X]-week intensive that covers every section of the test. We review the content [student] needs to know, teach the strategies that separate good scores from great scores, and practice with full-length tests under timed conditions.

The program includes:

My students improve an average of [X] points. The investment is $[amount] for the full program. Given that [test date] is [timeframe] away, we should start [specific week]."

Close:

"I have [X] spots remaining for the [test date] prep cycle. Would you like me to reserve one for [student]?"

When: Raising rates for existing or new clients

Goal: Communicate the increase professionally while retaining clients

Email Template:

Subject: Important Update — Program Investment Adjustment

Dear [Parent Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out personally about an important update.

Effective [date], the monthly investment for [Program Name] will be $[new amount] (an increase of $[amount] from the current rate).

For current families like yours, this adjustment will take effect on [date — give 30+ days notice]. I value our partnership tremendously, and I am committed to continuing to deliver exceptional results for [student].

The program enhancements that come with this adjustment include:

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am happy to discuss this with you directly.

Thank you for your continued trust in my work with [student].

Warmly,

[Your Name]

In-Person Script:

When: First phone call with a tutor candidate

Goal: Filter out unqualified candidates in 15 minutes

To start, tell me about your tutoring and teaching experience."

[Listen.]

"How do you handle a student who is clearly not understanding what you are teaching?"

"Describe your approach to communicating with parents."

"Do you have any questions for me about the position or our practice?"
