When you first started your business, you might have felt like you were being salesy if you came right out and talked about your products. I felt the same way and finally realized that if I wasn’t talking about my products and services, then no one else would. There’s some skill behind doing it the right way and doing the wrong way. Of course, saying “Buy my product!” is tacky, so let’s discuss some ways for you to discuss your products as the solution to your idea customer’s problems.

Let me start by saying blogging is not dead. I’m not sure who started that rumor, but let me tell you, blogging + Pinterest = massive growth for your online tutoring business. I love blogging so much that this whole month on the blog is dedicated to growing your business using blogging. Blogging takes time and dedication to get good at.

There are other ways to grow your tutoring business without spending a ton of cash on ads. One of the best ways to build a community is with a Facebook group. Before you can sell anything to a customer, you have to establish a like, know, trust factor. Starting a Facebook group that has your ideal client in mind is the first step to establishing those three crucial factors.

If you’re looking to make more money in your tutoring business, then friend, you’ve come to the right place. Over the past 3 years, I’ve grown a successful online tutoring business with multiple streams of income all while being a full-time teacher. If I can do it, so can you!

As teachers, we went to school to study education, not marketing. As a tutoring business owner, you may have found yourself in the awkward position of “How do I get tutoring clients without being salesy?!” Or maybe you’ve asked “How do I promote an online tutoring business?” If that sounds about right, then keep on reading! You know things need to change because your tutoring business hasn’t grown like you’d hoped it would. You’re tired of trying to figure out how to talk about your business.

As teachers, we’ve been bombarded with the term teacher burnout. With so many teachers fleeing the profession all together, it leaves those of us who are staying with a feeling of overwhelm. The last thing we want to hear an administrator say is “Practice self-care.” Self-care for teachers looks different for each individual. My goal with this blog post is to share what has worked for me.

Starting an online tutoring business revolutionized the way I look at money. Before I started tutoring, I was dealing with teacher burnout and I wasn’t even sure I wanted to continue down the path of being an elementary school teacher. I knew as a teacher I wasn’t making the money I truly deserved. Even with two masters degrees, my monthly income was getting taken up by a car payment and student loan debt. Something needed to change and the change had to be making more money. The key was to use skills I already had as a teacher.

I often get asked about the tech tools I use for my online tutoring business at home. After teaching virtually from home in 2020 while running my own online tutoring business, I upgraded to products that helped me teach with ease and made running a tutoring business online more manageable. I’ve included gift ideas for every budget and I hope you’ll find joy and a spark of giving for this holiday season. If you’re looking for gift ideas for your friends, a coworker, yourself or a family member, keep on reading!

Building your dream tutoring schedule sounds too good to be true, am I right? I get asked this question all the time because I’m a full-time classroom teacher and Tutorpreneur®. People see what I do and they can’t understand how I juggle it all. Let me tell you, there are some systems and processes in place that have taken me years to craft. In this blog post, I’m going to give you a behind the scenes look and spill the beans on some secrets.

One of my amazing Tutorpreneur Academy® student’s, Elizabeth, sent me a voice message on Voxer with this question: “How do you do it all?” She went on to say that she just went back to school (she’s a middle school teacher) and she’s tired at the end of every day. I completely understand how she feels because I’m a first grade teacher at a Title One school and I’m 100% tired by the end of the day as well. It’s not easy being a teacher, especially during the time we’re living in!
