    What Finally Worked for These Tutors

    What finally works when you’re trying to grow a tutoring business? In this episode, I’m joined by tutors who have attended past IMPACT events to have an honest conversation about what actually helped them move forward—and what didn’t. We talk about the moments that brought clarity, the mistakes they stopped repeating, and how understanding where they were in their business changed everything. You’ll hear how they went from feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure… to making decisions that felt aligned, sustainable, and doable.

    How Jennifer Jones Multiplied Her Income by 5

    In today’s episode of the Online Tutor Business Podcast, you’ll meet Jennifer Jones—a tutor who has completely changed the trajectory of her business. When she first joined the Jumpstart Your Online Tutoring Business Masterclass, she wasn’t sure she was ready. Today, she’s earning five times more than when she started.

Inside Jumpstart and the Insider Secrets Club 3.0, Jennifer learned how to get seen, get hired, and grow with confidence—without feeling like she had to do it all at once. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s actually possible to build a thriving online tutoring business, this conversation will give you a front-row seat to what’s possible when you take the right actions and surround yourself with people who get it.

  3. How Frankie Replaced Her Income Working Half the Hours

    How Frankie Replaced Her Income Working Half the Hours

    Since joining the Insider Secrets Club, Frankie has been able to completely replace her old income while working about half the hours she used to. Before she joined, she was earning around $2,000–$2,500 a month teaching seven hours a day, five days a week. After applying what she learned in the community — building a real online presence, improving her website, posting content consistently, and understanding her ideal client — she now earns that same income teaching just 4–5 hours a day. This shift didn’t come from luck, shortcuts, or throwing money at ads. It came from clarity, strategy, consistency, community support, and learning how to market her tutoring business the right way. Her story is one of courage, skill-building, and deciding her time mattered just as much as her income. And it’s proof that when tutors learn the right systems and surround themselves with people who are doing the same work, their entire business (and schedule!) can change.
