How Ghada Scaled Her Tutoring Business After Years of Being Stuck

Feeling stuck in your tutoring business, no matter how hard you’re trying?   Ghada was in the exact same place, doing the work, showing up for her students, dreaming bigger… but constantly hitting the same wall. Nothing was “breaking through.” And the worst part? She started questioning whether she was actually capable of more.   This video is her story of getting unstuck...FAST.   Inside this interview, Ghada shares: ✨ How she went from overwhelmed and second-guessing everything… to becoming a confident tutoring business owner ✨ Why she kept repeating the same problems for months (and how she finally broke the cycle) ✨ The moment she realised she couldn’t scale alone ✨ What made her join the Tutorboss Mastermind even though it felt scary ✨ How being surrounded by tutors going through the same challenges changed everything ✨ The leadership shifts that helped her grow a high-quality team ✨ Why she now operates from clarity instead of fear   Her words, not mine: “If I did this alone, it would’ve taken me five years of flopping around. Inside the mastermind, I broke through in six months.”   If you’re watching this thinking, “This is literally me right now…” Then this is your sign to stop trying to build your tutoring business in isolation.   The Tutorboss Mastermind is now accepting applicants for the February 2026 cohort.

A few of you are new here so I thought I'd introduce myself ☺️   I'm Lisa (hehe). I'm in my early 30s, though I'm often told I look like I'm in my young 20s (and I never get sick of hearing this 😂).   I started tutoring English when I was 19, just after high school. Who knew that I'd still be in the tutoring business TWELVE+ years later? mind blown   Tutoring was SO incredibly rewarding and fulfilling that I moved into it full-time when I was 24. I fell in love with tutoring so much that I ended up quitting my career as a pharmacist after only 11 months on the job. Skip ahead to 3 months later, I was fully booked out and was already rejecting new students who had been referred to me.   I felt so bad for saying 'no' that I ended up hiring my first tutor. Within 6 months, my team had grown to 5 tutors, and within a couple of years, I had 50+ tutors on my team!   It's been a rollercoaster of a journey. I've been awarded Anthill 30under30, Victorian Younger Achievers Finalist, spoken at TEDx, and been blessed with so much more.   Not going to lie, business is HARD. That's why I want to share my learnings and experiences with you, because I wish I had a tutor mentor who could accelerate my path to success, rather than struggling through all the mistakes I made during my journey. Lisa's Study Guides, my tuition and study guide business has made 1 million+ over the last 2 years, and I've just started my second business, Tutorboss, helping tutoring business owners build and scale their businesses.
