👋 Hi! 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.

Great tips Tran! So encouraging to hear from your experiences.

I have struggled with every limiting belief mentioned in your video. Thank you, this helped a bunch. Going to re-establish prices soon!

Thanks Lisa, I upped my price today with one of my students and it was easier than I expected! All I had to do was be honest and now I’m in my bag 😄💰

[mariaborden]

Thank you for sharing these tips they are really helpful. I am just starting out in the tutoring business after teaching early childhood education for 14years. I very much appreciate this.

[Fosterfireglass]

Oooo, thank you. I had been tempted to offer a low "intro" price but I also knew I wouldn't attract the kind of client I want long-term. This helped!

[LisaTran]

🥰 How many of you think you have limiting beliefs that stop you from achieving your full potential? Comment 'I!' 🙋🏻‍♀️

[jess-vgje]

Oh my god, this is really what I needed to hear! Thank you, this made me realize I feel too guilty about my pricing

[nikienyembe]

Hi Lisa thank you for pointing out these mistakes, as tutors we often struggle to price was really appreciate how you explained the value that your are offering in exchange of money...Again thanks for highlighting the self limiting believes that are triggered by comparing our tutoring experiences to others tutor....

[Dang_vcxu]

[Living_Word_int]

Really valuable information. Thanks for your sharing your insights!! 🤘

[Tashiia]

Can you do assessments or consultations for tutors like me who are just starting out? I love your content. Its clear concise and short.

[Gintoki-Yorozuya]

What's your advice on part time students who are looking to start tutoring as a side job? How would u recommend them to start getting into the tutoring buisness and they want to gain more experience in tutoring.

[danielvillarreal]

Ha ha, I had to listen to this about 3X and then finally read the written information to figure out that it’s not “toot a bot”!😂

[dr.k]

Definitely some great points made here!
