In this episode, I chat with Anita White, the founder of Tutor Doctor Gravesend, about the highs, lows, and unexpected twists of running a tutoring business. Anita takes us through her journey from teaching to owning a franchise, sharing how she’s had to adapt her services to truly meet the needs of each student—even when it means going way beyond the original business plan.

We dig into the tricky bits, like managing parent expectations, finding the right tutors, and supporting students with different learning styles. Anita shares some brilliant insights into why clear communication, flexibility, and a real passion for helping people are essential for making it work.

If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in the tutoring world, this episode lifts the lid. From dealing with challenges to discovering creative solutions, Anita’s story is packed with lessons for anyone in education—or anyone running a business that’s all about people.
