Personal brand has become a business buzzword — but what does it actually mean, and why does it matter so much right now? In this episode of Grow Your Tutoring Business, I break down personal branding beyond logos, colours and “pretty posts” and get to the real stuff: the gut feeling people have about you, the values you won’t compromise on, who you help, what you’re known for, the way you show up, and the proof you consistently share. I use big-name examples (yes — Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk!) to show how people leverage their personal brand to grow businesses, and then bring it back to what this means for tutors who want to stand out, build trust and attract the right families.

We also dig into the practical side: why trust is the currency in a noisier market, how personal brand becomes your shortcut to “know, like and trust”, and how it can lead to better clients, pricing power, referrals and opportunities (from partnerships to speaking gigs). I share my own journey — from being known locally as the “Kent Test guy” to building Tutors Who Thrive — and the thinking behind creating a brand that can grow beyond me for long-term sustainability. If you’ve been hiding behind a logo, relying on word of mouth, or feeling like your content is blending into the crowd, this episode will help you get clear on how to show up with intention and build a personal brand that actually supports your business.
