What it looks like to build differently

These are tutors and teachers who made a decision — not to escape, but to expand.

They came with clarity, took action, and built something sustainable.

Some joined us mid-career. Others after decades in the classroom. Many were already tutoring but ready for something different.

Here’s what that looked like for them.

A few stories that show what's possible when you decide to build a tuition business with intention

Anna Meldrum- Spanish tutor

Kelly Wilby - Science tutor

Kelly came to us as an experienced teacher ready to step into something bigger. In short video, she shares how she built a group programme that finally gave her the leverage and freedom she’d been looking for.

Lana & Christina - KS2 Writing Tutors

Lana and Christina were classroom teachers who decided to build something together. Here they share how they went from “just teachers” to confident business owners — specialising in supporting primary children who struggle with writing, drawing on their own experiences as EAL learners. Despite a move to Australia and a new baby along the way, they built a structured, profitable group programme that works for both of them.

A conversation about partnership, identity shift, and building a business that fits around life — not the other way around.

Hannah Andres - Home Ed Maths Tutor

Hannah spent a decade in the classroom before realising she wanted to help families in a different way. Here she shares how she moved from SATs tutoring to running workshops that give parents the confidence to home educate — and why aligning her business with her values changed everything.

Claire Davidson - English tutor

Claire joined us after years of 1:1 tutoring. Here she shares how she designed a group programme she’s genuinely proud of — and the mindset shift that made it possible. The first conversation took place while Claire was about halfway through the programme, and the second is much later where she shares how the programme transformed her business.

Jean Ramsey - ADHD Specialist

Jean’s journey took her from self-doubt to launching an online coaching programme that actually works. She talks about what it meant to finally trust her own expertise.

Tom - Maths Teacher

Tom made the shift from classroom teacher to business owner running his own GCSE maths groups. Here’s what that transition actually looked like.

Charley - Former Head of English

Charley came to us after years in senior leadership, ready for something that felt more aligned. Here she shares how she got crystal clear on her niche, her pricing, and her message — and what it felt like when everything finally clicked into place.
