What if you could make an extra $1,000 per month tutoring students on the side, using skills you already have?

And what if you could earn that extra cash in short 30-minute sessions in your spare time on evenings or weekends? So you could pay off your debt at a faster pace? Or send your kiddos to soccer practice in cleats that fit? Or pay for that 2-week trip to Italy?

It’s not some dream. Tutoring is actually a very practical way for you to make more money.

Because right now, there are parents who are looking for credible tutors to help their children catch-up or even get ahead with their reading, writing and math.

And as a teacher, YOU already have the ability to do this.

(Yep. It’s your secret super power if you didn’t already know it!)

All you need is a willingness to follow a plan. Which I can give you -- more on that in a minute.

But before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about why you might be here...

I bet you got into teaching because you had a passion for it. Me too. But along the way, the financial and emotional reality of it started to hit you in the face...

Almost all of us are underpaid and overworked. Managing overfilled classrooms and lack of resources. Hours of grading. Hours of planning. And don’t even get me started on the time we put in handling helicopter parents. 

Some of us deal with difficult coworkers or micromanaging principals who are quick to email you to “meet them after school” because of an unreasonable complaint. 

(That happened to me, apparently a Harry Potter book club is a very offensive idea.) 

But maybe worst of all, many of us feel that despite all of our effort, our ability to give students the help and attention they need is an impossible dream. 

That we started out wanting to be this incredible teacher, and that somewhere along the way we settled for getting by. 

To add insult to injury, we’re all too familiar with squeaking by on slim paychecks. 

Whether it’s trying to stay on top of a mountain of student loans (I have two Masters degrees myself, so I know what that’s like), or paying down your mortgage, there is never much left at the end of the month.

Some of us deal with it by pinching pennies. Others will take on a second job. Hoping we can hold on until we can cash in our pension a few decades from now!

In the end, all of this constant making-do and hopelessness leads to burnout. 

Don’t get me wrong. Many of us love teaching, we just wish we had more control over our earning power and an outlet to remind us why we got into this job in the first place. 

Which is why tutoring is the PERFECT side-hustle that helps you start earning cash while sparking your passion for teaching again. 

I know because I now run my own thriving tutoring business, but it took a minute to get here.

Just a few years ago, you would have found me sobbing in my car. 

At this point, I had been teaching for 5 years. And when I started, I loved my job. I felt like I had a sense of purpose. I would hop out of bed, ready to tackle the day. 

And yet, here I was, just a few years later unable to hold back my tears as I drove to school. Wracked with anxiety, discouraged, and completely burnt out. 

Searching for the strength to get through the school year...hoping something would change once I returned in the Fall.

After many days of crying, I decided that if my environment wasn’t going to change, I was going to need to change. 

I started listening to all the podcasts I could get my hands on during my drive to school. 

Content on marketing, and mindset and it started to spark hope. Maybe I could start a side hustle, maybe I could become an entrepreneur. Why not me?

And then I got a text from a parent of a past student, asking if I would be open to tutoring and it started to click.

I was a bit nervous but just a few minutes in, the spark of teaching came back. 

I was reminded of what it was like to work with motivated kids and grateful parents. And the best part? Because I was working one-on-one with a student, we could keep the sessions to a focused 30 minutes at a time. 

The student was happy. I was happy. The parents were happy. It was just awesome. 

Before I knew it, I had several students working with me multiple times a week during my spare evenings and weekends.

I started thinking...why aren’t other teachers doing this? 

Instead of driving ubers, mowing lawns, waitressing or some other second job, why weren’t teachers using the skills they ALREADY had to earn extra money on the side? 

It became my mission to help teachers create this sense of freedom and control in their own lives. 

Imagine what it would feel like to be in control of your finances? Imagine what it would do for your happiness if you could keep your teaching job, keep your pension, but get your spark back with a side hustle?

I want that for you.

So if you’re ready to start making money on the side and regain your love of teaching, here’s your next step.
