3. Building an Online Teaching Business with Allison Williams of Tutor Tots Online

Have you ever thought about starting your own online teaching business? In today’s virtual world, there are so many opportunities to make this a reality. On the other hand, if the idea of owning a business is one that’s never crossed your mind, you’re certainly not alone. Many teachers find themselves in a position where they have an unexpectant opportunity to turn their passion into a business.

Our guest, Allison Williams, is the perfect example of this. Allison began teaching in 2012 and has experience in private, public, and charter schools. When the pandemic hit and schools transitioned into online learning, Allison discovered that she actually really enjoyed virtual teaching and wanted to explore how she could do this long-term.

It started with her virtually supporting her niece to help prepare her for kindergarten. Then slowly, Allison added more kids to the learning group. Over time, multiple small tutoring groups were formed, and it just grew from there. Once Allison realized that she had a real business on her hands, she went through my Grow Your Education Business Accelerator program to take it to the next level.

Now Tutor Tots Online serves kids in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. In our conversation, Allison shares all the details about how she got started, how she brings in new clients, using social media for her online teaching business, and so much more. If starting a business is in the back of your mind, I know you’ll be inspired to take action after hearing Allison’s story!
