A Teacher’s Dilemma

You love teaching. You're good at it. And lately, your side tutoring business is picking up.

More students. More referrals. A few late nights balancing lesson plans, class hours, and prep work for your private sessions.

And now, the big question creeps in- Should I leave my full-time job to build this tutoring business?

It’s a tough one. On one side is the stability of a paycheck, staff room chats, and a predictable schedule. On the other is the pull of independence, flexibility, and the dream of building something that's entirely yours.

The Charm of Solopreneurship

Becoming a full-time tutor means more freedom:

  • You set the schedule.

  • You choose the students.

  • You design your method.

  • You control your earnings.

For many teachers, it’s the chance to reconnect with why they started teaching in the first place, without red tape, overcrowded classrooms, and exhausting admin.


But Let’s Talk Honestly About the Risk

Going solo also means handling everything: scheduling, billing, materials, communication, marketing… and yes, taxes.

It’s not just about teaching anymore.
You’re also running a business.

And that can feel scary, especially if you’re used to the structure a school provides.

This is where most talented educators hesitate. Not because they can’t teach—but because they’re unsure about the business side of things.
