If you want to start tutoring in a couple of months - do this

June 04, 2026•1 min read

The other day I organised a "Tutoring coffee and chat". The idea being that people who were thinking of becoming a tutor or looking to grow their tutoring business could join the call and we could share ideas that could be helpful to get them started.

A point that repeatedly came up was that they were looking to start in September. The new school year.

If this is your plan, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start telling people now that you will be available, because:

1) there are so many people promoting themselves as tutors that it will take time for you to be heard above the noise.

2) People will be entrusting you with their child's education. They will want time to get to know you, like you, trust you before inviting you into their lives.

3) People are starting to look for tutors now for September so that it is something that is organised and they can put to the back of their minds before the summer holidays begin.

If you would like a free copy of my book: Become a Tutor: Build Confidence. Change Lives (no strings attached what-so-ever) please do drop me a line:

info@clarajamestutoring.co.uk and I will more than happy to send you one in the post. (I wrote it with the goal of answering the questions that I had when I got started)

I wish you every bit of success on your journey

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
