How I Built a Tutoring Business with 200+ Students (Part 2)

If you’re at the point where you’re turning students away because you’re booked out, you’ve got two options… stay capped, or build a team.   This video is for tutors who are ready for the second one. This is Part 2 of the series. If you haven’t watched Part 1 yet (how to build to 200+ students), start there first so this video hits even harder: https://bit.ly/200students  Most tutor business owners hire in a rush. They pick someone with great grades, hand them a student, and hope for the best. Then quality gets inconsistent, parents start asking questions, and you end up thinking, “See… I knew I couldn’t delegate.”   In this video, I’m walking you through how to build the right team of tutors, the same process I used to grow to 35+ tutors in under two years, without letting standards drop and without you hovering over every session.   Here’s what we cover: • The hiring mistake most tutors make and what to look for instead (grades are the minimum) • Where to find tutors who actually fit your standards and your culture • A simple onboarding flow so new tutors don’t get thrown in the deep end • How to protect quality when you’re not in the session, using systems plus trust   This is the video I wish every tutor watched before they hired their first tutor. Want the templates, systems, and playbooks? Everything I reference in this video goes way deeper inside the Tutorboss Community. You’ll get: • Session structures and delivery frameworks • Referral scripts that don’t feel awkward • Hiring, onboarding, and tutor SOPs • Monthly workshops and implementation sessions • Support from tutors building real businesses, not side hustles   👉 Join the Tutorboss Community here: TUTORBOSS COMMUNITY – https://bit.ly/TutorbossCommunityYT   If your goal is a tutoring business that grows without you teaching more hours, this is where you start. _______________________     👇 MORE of how I can help: #1 Sign up to my weekly newsletter designed for tutors + sharing my tutoring journey: https://bit.ly/lisatran-newsletter-si... #2 Looking for the highest level of customised support?

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.   Timestamps: 00:00 Build A Tutor Team Without Losing Quality 0:45 The Hiring Mistake That Creates “Great Grades, Bad Tutors” 1:15 Four Traits I Hire For Every Time 1:32 Interview Questions That Actually Reveal Coaching Skill 2:12 Where I Found My Best Tutors 3:08 What's Tutorboss Community? 3:24 Onboarding That Prevents Complaints And Ghosting 4:08 How To Transfer Your Session Style 4:27 Don't micromanage!
