I'm delighted to welcome my client Tamsin Stack to the podcast this week! She honestly shares her story of how she left teaching to successfully set up a tutoring business.I ask her about the highs and lows, as well as advice she'd share with anyone thinking about the same.Impressively, Tamsin and I met in August 23 and she resigned from teaching a few months later. In Jan 24 she started being a full-time tutor, and by May 24, she is already hiring tutors.The most valuable message from this episode is that there is no secret. It's about finding what works for you and taking action.If you're a primary tutor who is looking for work, reach out to Tamsin: [email protected] :-) Sumantha____________________👋🏽 Hello!
