Together

Hello Reader,

This newsletter is focused on passionate teachers in the sandwich generation - those of you who are raising kids, helping aging parents, and managing your careers. (If this isn't you, jump to my blog and read about parenting, educational summer fun, or multigenerational travel!)

Are you dreaming of the day when you don't have to ask your principal two weeks in advance for time off and write sub plans just to take your mom to the doctor?

Make the most of your time in the sandwich generation and still bring in income.

Here's the solution. Start your tutoring business. Work a job you love on your own terms and still bring in income.

Your Solution - An affordable, easy, step by step course for teachers without a business background.

​Business Basics - How to Start a Tutoring/Coaching Business​

The sandwich generation found me dreaming of freedom before my retirement years. I still needed income but didn't want an inflexible job or something outside of education.

I found the solution. I took what I loved and created my tutoring business. The hard work paid off. I not longer had to write sub plans to take my daughter on college visits or my dad to the neurologist.

Now I set my schedule by the semester and work late only on days my husband has soccer games.

I love my job and you can, too.

Teachers, start your business today with Business Basics course and personal coaching. Be your own boss. Write lesson plans of your choosing. Set your session times on a schedule that works for your family. Take time off when you need it. Tutor just the subjects you are passionate about.

Reignite your passion for teaching and reclaim your schedule. Stop dream and start doing!
