If you’ve been thinking about expanding your tutoring business but feel stuck on how to “make more time,” I’ve got news for you: It’s not about adding more hours to your already-packed workweek. It’s about getting smart. Leveraging systems. Finding ways to do more with less—without burning yourself out in the process. It’s about building passive income streams, tutoring smarter (not harder), and creating a business that works for you—not the other way around.

You don’t become a teacher for the money… As educators, we are constantly reminded that “the money” isn’t the reason why we do what we do, and to be honest, there is probably some truth to that.  Whether as new college students declaring their major or those who teaching is their second career, the commonality is the drive, passion, calling - whatever you may call it - to make a difference in the lives of kids.  And 100% YES!  But - it’s still our means to earn money. And - since you are in education like me - you understand the disparity between the amount of work/time people with a career in education put in and the way they are compensated.  Which is why many teachers turn to picking up a side hustle. 

Many teachers I talk with genuinely feel like they don’t have a clue why they’re still teaching. Teacher burnout manifests itself in many different ways, but the emotional toll of the job leaves many dedicated teachers feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. So how do you overcome teacher burnout? Some choose to leave the profession, but others stay hoping to find something to reignite their passion for teaching. Teacher friend, there IS an answer… Tutoring!

Balancing life and teaching is every teacher's dream. Working nights and weekends just to keep up with the day-to-day tasks can be overwhelming, especially when trying to chase the perfectly curated, Pinterest-worthy classrooms that fill our social media feeds. All of which can make thinking about squeezing in time to start and run a tutoring side hustle impossible.  Well my ambitious teacher friend, achieving work-life balance as a teacher AND running a profitable tutoring side hustle is possible - with the right strategies.
