In this episode of Grow Your Tutoring Business, we explore a theme many ex-teachers turned tutors will recognise: the struggle to reclaim your time and energy after leaving the classroom. Richard and Vicki dive into their own experiences of burnout, lack of autonomy, and the emotional baggage carried from school into self-employment. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by expectations or unsure how to say “no” as a tutor business owner, this conversation will resonate deeply.

We talk about how to set boundaries, run a tuition business with intention, and protect your energy while still growing a sustainable income. From battling people-pleasing habits to building the confidence to charge your worth and choose your schedule, this episode is packed with real talk, practical reflection, and advice for any private tutor, education entrepreneur, or teacher starting a tutoring business.
