#66: Is Your Tutoring Business Actually Profitable - Or Just Fully Booked?
Episode 66
Tuesday, 23 September, 2025
Being fully booked might feel like a win, but if your bank account is tight and your energy is drained, is it really success? In this episode, I unpack the illusion of being "busy" versus actually building a profitable and sustainable tutoring business. From undercharging and overworking, to ignoring your true expenses, I share the mindset shifts and practical strategies you need to finally pay yourself properly, protect your time and grow with confidence. If you've ever thought, "I'm working so hard, but it doesn't feel worth it", this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: 🙌 Why "fully booked" doesn't always equal profitable 🙌 The hidden costs tutors forget when setting prices 🙌 How to calculate your real hourly rate (and why it's eye-opening) 🙌 Why revenue ≠ profit and what numbers actually matter 🙌 How to stop the "side hustle cycle" and create breathing room in your business 🙌 Practical shifts: value-based pricing, packages, group offers, automating admin 🙌 How to protect your time and energy like a CEO, not just a teacher 🙌 The #1 question to ask yourself to check if your business is sustainable This one's for you if: ✔️ You're fully booked, but still not paying yourself properly ✔️ You feel stuck in the "side hustle cycle" of late nights, hectic weekends and admin chaos ✔️ You want more freedom and flexibility without burning out ✔️ You're tired of winging it and want a clear, profitable plan Want personalised support for your business growth?
