Tutoring Side Hustle doing £6k/month, but how does it scale next?

In this episode of the Business Broadcast, host James Sinclair interviews Jay Saw, who runs a tutoring business called Tooting Tutors. Jay started his tutoring gig as a side hustle while pursuing a full-time job as a data analyst and has built it to generate monthly revenues between £2,000 and £15,000. He shares that, while he enjoys tutoring and has seen success, he struggles with demand generation, wanting to fill more groups and grow the business from a side hustle to a structured company.

Sinclair critiques Jay's current model, branding it as a profitable job where he exchanges time for money. He suggests shifting to an alternative provision business model, which caters to children not attending traditional schools. The conversation delves into the importance of marketing and exploring different ways to gain customers, including paid advertising and collaborative initiatives with local schools.

Jay acknowledges his current limitations and reveals his desire to clarify his goals, ideally wanting to surpass £100k in earnings and support 200 families a year. They conclude by discussing actionable steps Jay can take to enhance his business model, implement strategic marketing, and prioritize his time effectively to navigate this transitional phase.
