We chatted for about an hour today on a private call and worked through a number of things she could do right now to gain traction and turn her charity work into a paying job. She was happy to hear that she is a few steps closer to making her dream a reality....

Tutoring at the Library Tutoring at the library, does this limit my tutoring business? I think this depends on your business plan. I had a friend who was tutoring at her local library and these were some of the things she ran into. Students didn’t show and she would worry about where they were at. Parents wouldn’t pick their kids up on time, so she had to sit and wait. Then she had to determine if she should charge extra for making sure they were supervised. (The answer to that is YES!) She...

Rethink Your Tutoring Strategy This Fall! When I was a classroom teacher, I typically put my job first. I know, that is a terrible thing to do, but I believe it was because I had SO MUCH to do, the job just never seemed to be done!
