How I Built a Tutoring Business with 200+ Students (Part 3)

Growth in a tutoring business shouldn’t depend on luck. And you definitely shouldn’t be burning money on ads you don’t understand.   This episode is for tutoring business owners who want consistent student growth without relying on “hope marketing,” or throwing money at ads to patch holes.   In this video, I show you how to fill your tutoring books with a real system, so students come in consistently, you stop losing leads because follow-up is weak, and every new student has the potential to turn into more students. That’s the real game.   We walk through the 3 pieces that make growth predictable (and way less stressful): Why “more leads” won’t fix a leaky business The conversion upgrades that stop inquiries from slipping through the cracks The retention moves that keep families happy longer (and boost lifetime value) The referral loop that turns 1 student into more (without feeling salesy) The simple flywheel that makes growth compound instead of restarting every term   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 -   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.   Timestamp: 00:00 Introduction 00:35 Strongest channel for getting new students  01:00 The 3-part Growth Formula 01:54 Fastest way to find leads 02:15 How we acquired 100 leads in 10 days 03:24 What turns enquiries into students 05:00 Follow-up templates you can copy and paste 05:18 Why a trial booking is so essential 06:10 The retention “switch” that stops the term-to-term reset 07:24 Keep students coming in by doing this 09:16 The simplified growth engine 09:58 Steal my templates, scripts, and systems
