In this episode, I take a different tack and focus on the real-world challenges and opportunities that arise inside a tutoring business—particularly how we build strong relationships with parents and pupils. From onboarding new clients to setting clear payment terms and cancellation policies, I share practical advice for tutors looking to grow sustainably while protecting their time and values. This is all about laying solid foundations that reduce friction later and create long-term trust.

I also dive into how we communicate effectively with current clients, including how to keep parents informed, involved, and confident in the service you’re delivering. Whether you’re working solo or managing a team of tutors, you’ll find honest insights here about what works, what I’ve learned the hard way, and what I’m changing in my own business. It’s a grounded, behind-the-scenes episode that’ll help you refine your systems and strengthen your relationships.
