In this video, I’m breaking down 3 ways you can increase your Outschool student engagement right now—without adding hours of prep. I see the same engagement-killers over and over: overloaded slides that turn into “teacher talking at kids,” lessons that only get interactive during review time, and participation structures that let the same 2–3 students carry the whole class. If you want better retention (and honestly, a stronger tutoring business), these fixes matter. First, I talk about why too much text and too many elements on slides can actually make students check out faster—and what to do instead so your visuals support engagement. Next, I show how tools like Nearpod can help you build interaction into the lesson itself (not just at the end), so students are clicking, responding, and thinking the whole time. Finally, I share strategies to make sure every student participates—not just your eager volunteers—by designing moments where everyone has to respond. If you want quick wins, this is the exact stuff I’d fix first in an Outschool class.
