If you're still manually sending class links, chasing payments across multiple apps, and watching students drop off halfway through your courses, 2026 needs to be different.

The tutors and creators making serious money aren't working harder than you; they're just using better systems.

These 10 resolutions are specific moves that will transform your teaching business from a mere scattered hustle to a profitable operation. I shared just practical changes you can adopt to deliver measurable results.

10 Resolutions for Tutors & Creators

Resolution #1: Make Your Classes Actually Interactive

The problem is simple: students zone out during lectures, with completion rates around 40%. A helpful strategy is to switch to using KlasLife's interactive tools, like live polls, to check understanding; open Q&A sessions for real-time questions.

On Klas, the Magic Board lets everyone collaborate simultaneously, turning passive listeners into active participants. When students engage, they stick around because engaged students finish what they start.

Resolution #2: Automate Your Payment Collection

Chasing payments is killing your momentum. Late transfers, currency conversion headaches, and awkward reminder messages waste hours every week. Klas Pay handles payments automatically. It allows students to pay in their local currency, USD, NGN, or others, and you receive fast payouts without follow-ups.

Once you set your pricing, the system manages everything, including international transactions.

Resolution #3: Record Once, Sell Repeatedly

Teaching the same introductory content to every new batch of students is inefficient. You're trading time for money with no leverage. You can use Klas's cloud recording to capture your core lessons once. Your new students will be able to access recorded fundamentals on their schedule while you focus on live sessions on advanced topics and high-value interactions. This ensures your content works around the clock.

Resolution #4: Run Cohort-Based Programs

Classes that accept students "anytime" rarely fill up. Without urgency or structure, people procrastinate enrollment indefinitely. You can create cohort programs with clear start dates and limited spots using Klas's scheduling features. Set early-bird pricing to reward quick decisions. Another advantage is that cohorts also build peer connections that improve retention and satisfaction.

Resolution #5: Make Data-Driven Decisions

Guessing which courses to promote or which marketing channels work is expensive. You need facts, not intuition, and Klas's analytics dashboard shows enrollment trends, attendance patterns, revenue breakdowns, and student progress. See exactly what's working and what needs adjustment. This helps you track which promotional efforts bring actual enrollments.

Resolution #6: Build a Teaching Team

You can't scale if every class requires your personal presence, but hiring instructors feels complicated and risky sometimes. The Klas team features let you invite other instructors, assign them to specific classes, and oversee everything from one dashboard. This allows you to become the operator while talented teachers handle delivery. Everyone gets paid appropriately, and your business grows beyond your personal capacity.

Resolution #7: Create a Student Community

Because one-time buyers generate one-time revenue, you need students who return for multiple courses and refer their friends.

You can use Klas's group chat to maintain conversations between classes, build a resource library with bonus materials, send personalised direct messages and transform transactions into relationships that compound over time.

Resolution #8: Centralise Student Communication

Important messages get lost when they're scattered across email, social media DMs, and text threads. You miss questions, concerns go unaddressed, and students feel ignored. That’s why Klas's WhatsApp integration streamlines student communication in one place. Questions get answered promptly, automated reminders go out easily, and students who need extra support actually receive it.

Resolution #9: Test Understanding with Quizzes

Students who passively watch videos don't retain information well. Without accountability, they skip important concepts and blame your teaching when they don't see results. Add quizzes after each lesson using Klas's built-in quiz feature, which allows students to get immediate feedback on their understanding. This gives you data showing which concepts need reinforcement. Hence, learning becomes measurable.

Resolution #10: Automate Your Scheduling

Manually coordinating class times across time zones and sending calendar invites wastes time, and students might miss sessions because reminders never reach them or get buried in email.
