How To Stumble Into a Billion Dollar Industry
When most people tell you about how they started their businesses, there’s usually a description of a light bulb moment, merging of minds or a magical idea. For me, none of those things were the case.
I started tutoring by accident. Yes, by accident.
I graduated from a traditional university where upon graduating, students were expected to build successful careers in ‘the city.’ Initially, the lure of six figure salaries, long days and high-rise buildings appealed to me but upon graduating, I realized that I was far too creative to be a banker, lawyer, hedge fund manager or stock broker. I wanted to do something different, something that made an impact on the world in some shape or form whether that be on a local, national or even international scale- I didn’t mind. The problem was that whilst I knew what I didn’t want to do, I had no idea what I wanted to do.
After graduation, came that dreaded, ‘I need to get a job!’ phase - a phase that I intensely detested. Six months later, I had accumulated a pile of rejection letters and was so fed up that I almost gave up entirely. Luckily enough, I managed to get a job at a local school working with special needs children. To say these children were deprived would be an understatement; many of the children were from broken homes and had faced their fair share of difficulties. However, whilst working with the children I quickly discovered that despite all of their problems, they like most children, just wanted to be cared for, respected and treasured.
During my time at this particular school, I was given the opportunity to educate, inspire and empower dozens of children. Whilst my time at the school wasn’t perfect, it taught me a few things about myself and I realised that I was deeply passionate about teaching. I loved coming up with new ideas for lessons, creating new learning techniques to use with the children and I loved the rush that teaching gave me. There was nothing more amazing to me than seeing a child light up when they finally understood something that had previously baffled them. There was something about teaching that gave me confidence and eased my nerves. I loved it and whilst I wasn’t completely sure that I wanted to be a teacher, I knew that I wanted a career that involved educating others in some way.
However, there was a problem and that problem was the fact that whilst I loved teaching, I hated the school environment. Grumpy teachers, school politics and handling my new role as an adoptive mother to dozens of children was not my idea of ‘fun.’ The great teachers were fantastic but the not-so great ones were...difficult. The reality that I loved teaching but hated the teaching profession hit me when a senior teacher complimented, you’re too good for this school, you should teach somewhere else.
My teaching skills weren’t just noticed by teachers. Parents also picked up on it and asked me to tutor their children but because that was against school policy I politely declined but mentioned that I could
