Getting started as a tutor: The highs, lows and in-betweens
from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan
Tutoring was never something I intended doing, however a friend talked me into it. I had no business experience (my background was education, specifically working with neurodiverse children). So a friend and I brainstormed what we would expect from a tutor for our own children and I morphed this with what I had learned over the years about supporting children's learning. That was the beginning of the journey. There have been too many highs and lows over the years to talk about them all but with commitment (and an awful lot of learning and mistakes) along the way, I have now built a business I am hugely proud of. If you’re listen to this and thinking you might like to try tutoring… I’ve put together a page with some guidance to help you get started: Become a tutor
