Let’s be real—teaching is incredibly rewarding, but it doesn’t always cover the bills. If you’ve ever thought about launching a tutoring side hustle but didn’t know where to start, this episode is for you! I’m walking you through how to set up a tutoring business that fits your life, fuels your passion, and brings in extra income—without burning you out.

Whether you're looking to make $500 a month or turn tutoring into a full-time gig, you already have what it takes. Let me show you how to turn your teaching expertise into a thriving side business.

In this episode, I'll discuss... 

  • How to set financial goals, plan your schedule, and price your services with confidence.
  • Done-for-you templates to simplify contracts, progress tracking, and lesson planning.
  • Where to find students—including how to tap into our free tutor matchmaking network.
  • Easy ways to streamline sessions and set boundaries so tutoring stays fun and sustainable.
