Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, our guest Michael Gibben shares his journey from leaving the classroom to building a successful tutoring business. He opens up about the challenges he faced and the lessons he learned along the way.
Michael emphasizes the importance of shifting your mindset and viewing leaving teaching as a pivot to a different educational path, rather than a failure. He also talks about the significance of adjusting your money mindset, charging what you're worth, while also finding ways to help those who may not be able to afford your full rates.
Another key tip Michael shares is to start your tutoring business slowly and steadily, avoiding the temptation to grow too fast. He believes in the power of asking for help and building a supportive community of clients, other tutors, and business owners.
Michael also highlights the importance of defining your own measure of success and not comparing yourself to others. He encourages celebrating your progress and focusing on your own goals and growth.
Throughout the episode, Michael and Gabrielle discuss personal struggles and offer advice for new tutors. They stress the significance of continuous improvement, learning, and having a clear and concise business plan. They also emphasize the need to take time to develop yourself and your business, find what motivates you, and celebrate small victories.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in starting or improving their tutoring business. Michael provides valuable insights and resources for success in the industry, making it a valuable resource for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Who is Michael Gibben?
Michael Gibben is a certified teacher and coach. He began his education journey as a private tutor and classroom teacher. With time, he felt he could better guide students in a one-on-one or small group setting. In 2011, he founded his mentor-tutoring company (I.M. Success Tutoring). After eight years with I.M. Success Tutoring, he transitioned from owning a tutoring company to being a full-time business coach. He established Coach for Tutors for private tutors or tutor company owners eager to build their practices. Michael is also the author of two tutoring business e-books for those looking to launch and scale their tutoring practices and, last year, started the Coach for Tutors Podcast to help tutors grow their tutoring businesses with each episode.
