Hey teachers!
What if you could spend more time actually teaching (not managing classroom chaos) and earn an extra $80–$160/hour?
Give me one hour, and I’ll show you how to build a private tutoring business that’s both personally fulfilling and financially rewarding!
You’ll leave with a clear plan for creating a flexible, impactful career that honours your time, values your expertise, and pays you well.
Hi, I’m Kate!
M.A. in Child Study and Education
Public and private classroom teacher for six years
Part-time Private Tutor since 2018
Full-time Private Tutor since 2024
Whew!
Now that we’ve got the credentials out of the way …
Here’s what I’d really tell you if we were sitting down over a nice cup of tea – teacher to teacher:
Tutoring saved my life
Dramatic? Not in the least.
If you’ve taught in a classroom setting for any amount of time, I know you’ll understand what I mean.
Tutoring allowed me to actually teach again.
It got me out of the classroom, where I spent most of my time managing behaviour and keeping up with administrative tasks.
It gave me the freedom to do what I know is best for my students.
It provided me with more financial stability than I ever thought possible as an educator.
Fact:
Just one year into running my tutoring business full-time, I was charging $80 - $160/hour and had a waitlist of students so long that I had to hire more teachers to help me.
Yep.
Not to mention …
I’m working only with families I love. Families who don’t bat an eyelash at my rates because they value my skills and what I do for their children.
Thanks to tutoring, I am a much safer and happier version of myself.
And my students are finally getting the support they deserve as learners.
Here’s the best part:
I built a private tutoring business that pays me more than my teaching salary – in just one year.
However, it will take you significantly less time to do the same.
And you can do it while you’re still in the classroom full-time.
The only reason it took me a year was because I was figuring everything out mostly on my own.
I had plenty of teaching skills when I got started, but I had no idea how to find students or run a business.
So, I dug in to learn the ‘business’ side of tutoring — oftentimes the hard way.
I wish there had been a roadmap showing me what to do (and not to do) – so I created one, and packaged it all into a no-fluff, one-hour call.
Because I know as a teacher, your time is precious.
When you book a Thriving Tutors Strategy Call, you won’t have to figure out how to …
Find high-paying families
Communicate effectively with parents
Set up your business legally
Lead successful tutoring sessions
… by yourself or trial and error.
Instead, you can:
Hop on a one-hour strategy call with me, and I’ll give you everything you need to start or build a fulfilling tutoring business.
One 60-minute, 1:1 call.
That’s all it takes.
You’ll leave this strategy session with answers to all of your questions and a clear road map for finding your first (or next) students and succeeding professionally and financially as a private tutor who helps students online and/or in-person.
Whether you need to leave the classroom or simply earn some extra cash:
Tutoring is a valid, stable, and rewarding career opportunity.
Parents want tutors, and tutors want to help kids!
Private tutoring is in high demand and always will be. BUT …
Here’s what holds most teachers back from becoming private tutors:
#1 – You’re not sure how to connect with high-paying students and families that you want to work with.
And you don’t want to get stuck charging $20 an hour to teach in a pandemic-era online learning environment.
You know, where you're teaching long division to a 9-year-old as they eat cereal, show you their pets, and wander off camera. #shuddersatthememory
#2 – You don’t feel confident or comfortable charging enough for your tutoring services.
This is a tough one for us teachers. But hear me out:
When you’re financially secure, you’re better equipped to pour into your students.
There are plenty of parents out there who will be more than happy to pay the rates you deserve.
When you book a 1:1 strategy session with me, I’ll show you how to:
💰Set rates you feel good about charging and presenting to parents.
👨👩👧👦Find the families you want to work with and who are eager to pay you well.
So you can earn extra money for groceries, rent, or retirement — or take your business full-time and leave the classroom (like I did).
Let’s bust this myth right now:
You don’t need a special certification to be a tutor
But here at Thriving Tutors, I only work with:
Certified, Retired, and Student Teachers
Because I want parents to feel safe and comfortable with who they trust with their children.
And if you’re a teacher, you already have the skills to help your tutoring students.
Now? All you need is –
A plan for finding high-paying students
Knowledge on running consult calls with parents
The ins and outs of running a tutoring business (contracts, pricing, etc.)
An understanding of how to lead successful tutoring sessions, both online and in-person
I’ll show you how to do all of the above in ONE HOUR when you book a Thriving Tutors Strategy Call.
You’ll leave this call feeling confident, capable, and ready to start tutoring and have all the tools you need to book your first (or next!) student within the week.
To thrive as an online or in-person private tutor, you need three things:
1️⃣Personal Fulfillment
I’ll help you achieve this by showing you how to:
✅Choose students and families you genuinely enjoy working with.
✅Design your business around your ideal life (age/subject, hours, schedule, online or in-person preference, etc.).
2️⃣Professional Confidence
You already have the skills of teaching – I’ll give you the skills of running a SIMPLE, legal business. With tools for contracts, communicating with parents, and marketing.
No large following on social media or dancing on Tik-Tok required.
3️⃣Financial Success
I’ll give you a clear roadmap to start or grow your tutoring business – whether you’re looking to earn extra income or surpass your teaching salary.
