Hello Reader,

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to tutor online, but I don’t know where to start,” or Googled “How to be an online tutor” you’re not alone. Many amazing educators hesitate to take their skills online because they worry it’s too complicated or that in-person tutoring is the only way to be effective.

But here’s the truth: If you can tutor in person, you can tutor online. The core of great teaching remains the same—it’s just about learning a few simple tools to bring your expertise to a virtual space.

That’s exactly why I created Tutor Toolkit 2 – How to Tutor Online—a free workshop designed to show you how easy and rewarding online tutoring can be.

See Online Tutoring in Action

One of my favorite moments as a student teacher was observing experienced educators in action. Seeing their methods firsthand helped me grow more than any textbook ever could.

The same is true for online tutoring. When I took my private tutoring business online, I noticed that people had lots of questions, but the biggest one was: “Can you just show me what an online tutoring session looks like?” Even though I coached others in my Business Basics course on how to start a tutoring business, they still had questions about online tutoring.

That’s when it hit me—more educators would be willing to try online tutoring if they could see it in action first. So, I designed Tutor Toolkit 2 – How to Tutor Online to do just that. A free workshop designed to show you how to be an online tutor.

What You’ll Learn in This Free Workshop:

✅ How to get started with online tutoring (even if you’re not tech-savvy)
✅ What a real online tutoring session looks like, from start to finish
✅ Who thrives with online tutoring (and who might not)
✅ The best tools and strategies for engaging students virtually
✅ How to set up a professional tutoring or coaching business

Plus, you’ll get a ready-to-use sample slide deck—the same kind I use in my own tutoring sessions—to help you feel confident from day one.

Why Online Tutoring?

Tutoring online has been life-changing for me. I love the freedom and flexibility it provides – and the income! And guess what? The experience isn’t all that different from in-person sessions. You can still:

Work through math problems together on the screen
Use slides and visuals to enhance learning
Play quick, interactive games to keep students engaged

So, what’s holding you back? Fear of technology shouldn’t be the thing that stops you from growing your tutoring business.

Your First Step is Simple – Just Watch and Learn
