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.

After years and years of buying resources (something I still do!) for my first grade classroom and tutoring business, I realized that I wasn’t always finding exactly what I needed. I resisted the urge to make my own resources because I wasn’t entirely sure what I was doing. I also thought it would take too much time and I didn’t have a lot of time to give to a teacher side-hustle. Over time, I started creating my own resources and once I learned how to create them the right way and how to sell them, I quickly started making extra money. If this full-time teacher and Tutorpreneur® can do it, so can YOU!

In February, I went to Walt Disney World in Florida with my husband, cousin and his wife. We’ve been quite a few times together and enjoy getting to do all the fun kid stuff as adults.

I’m not promising you that you’re going to make this much money, but I am going to break down how I did it and give you some strategies to take away so you can do it too!
