Teacher friend, is your passion for teaching slowly burning out?

Are you dreaming of freedom, flexibility, and an income that continues to grow exponentially? Have you ever said, ”I should just start my own school”? Wouldn’t it be lovely to teach without unrealistic expectations, endless data collection, meetings, and restrictions? What if you could create your own schedule, curriculum, and class size? Starting your own micro-school or homeschooling business can give you the financial freedom, time freedom, and teaching experiences you are longing for!
Parents, are you frustrated with the experiences your child is having in public or private school? Are you searching for a learning experience that LIGHTS your child up?

What if you could continue teaching your child but also make an income while providing educational and enrichment experiences to other children and families? If your child is longing for socialization, interaction, and engaging experiences, a profitable homeschooling business would not only provide financial peace and freedom to your family but provide your child with a wonderful learning opportunity! Learning pods, resource centers, and micro-schools are coming your way!
I’m Makenzie Oliver. After 15 years in public school as a teacher, leader, and instructional coach, I stepped out to create my own school- a private tutoring business turned micro-school!
