#099 - Hailey Chisholm | Tutoring Businesses, Workplace Naps, and Ideas for Teacher Retention

In this episode, I sit down with Hailey Chisholm—educator, tutor, and fellow Westwood survivor. Hailey and I talk mentorship, what the most common academic concerns parents have for their children and how we assess for them, how building student confidence can make or break a learning experience, why teachers never feel like they have their sh*t together, how to stop being a perfectionist within teaching, the pros and cons of various practicum lengths, what student teachers are losing by not having a mentor teacher, how little information middle school students can actually handle, taking naps at school, starting a tutoring business and the process of building a website and reaching out to potential clients, and, much more. Work with Hailey: https://www.haileyteaches.com/Get a custom virtual assistant free for thirty days: https://www.leverageassistants.com/?via=mcad Get 25% off Leanfit Supplements: https://leanfit.ca/MRCLARKEAFTERDARKDownload the Luxy App here: https://www.onluxy.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqTNbyn-jjHs7e_i30XoKL8TjYHwsNZf3mszmFzGiR7IyEUU0FDChapters03:05 The Reality of Teaching: Expectations vs. Experience05:54 Mentorship in Education: The Importance of Guidance09:07 Navigating Classroom Dynamics and School Culture11:58 The Impact of Teacher Shortages on Education14:51 Starting a Tutoring Business: Insights and Experiences34:10 Understanding Student Struggles40:00 Building Confidence in Students46:50 Innovative Support for New Teachers51:03 Mental Health in Education01:06:00 Lasting Lessons Beyond the ClassroomSend us a textThoughts shared on the podcast are purely our own and do not represent the views of the Anglophone South School District or the relevant jurisdictions associated with my guests.
