#64: Building a 1000+ Student Tutoring Empire, While Keeping Students and Staff at the Heart- with Harry Mavrolefteros

What does it really take to scale a tutoring business beyond yourself and still keep tour staff and students at the centre of it all? In this episode, I chat with Harry Mavrolefteros, one of my VIP coaching clients and founder of First Education, who has grown his tutoring business to over 1000+ students while leading a strong team and staying true to his values. Harry shares the lessons he's learnt along the way, from the early days of working one-on-one with students, to running a thriving tutoring organisation that's built on both systems and heart. We dive into: ✔️ What it takes to scale beyond being a solo tutor ✔️ How Harry built systems that allow growth without chaos ✔️ The importance of valuing your staff and building a supportive culture ✔️ Why confidence and clarity matter more than "hustling harder" ✔️ The balance between business growth and staying student-focused This one's for you if: → You're dreaming bigger for your tutoring business, but not sure how to scale sustainably → You're stuck doing everything yourself and wondering what needs to shift → You want proof that you can grow while still keeping students and staff at the heart of what you do → You're ready to step into CEO mode and think bigger about what's possible Want personalised support for your business growth?
