Ready to Start Tutoring or Consulting?
Learn How to Launch a Literacy Practice that Thrives.
You’ve spent years helping students make progress, often wishing you had more time, more flexibility, and more say in how literacy instruction is delivered.
Maybe you’ve felt…
Why So Many Educators Are Starting Their Own Literacy Practice
Frustrated by system limits that make it hard to give students the individualized instruction they need.
Curious about what it could look like to work with students one-on-one or in small groups outside the classroom.
Drawn to the idea of running your own practice, whether that’s a few tutoring sessions after school, a summer program, or your next chapter after the classroom.
Unsure where to begin, what to charge, how to find students, or how to structure your services.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
You already have the knowledge and heart to build something incredible. You just need the structure and support to bring it to life.
And, here’s the thing…
We’ve done this, and we’ve helped hundreds of other educators do the same.
You can do this too!
You don’t need a business degree to succeed, just a clear process, simple systems, and the right guidance. It might feel overwhelming to figure out where to start, but it doesn’t have to.
That’s exactly why we created a step-by-step framework to walk you through every stage of starting your literacy practice.
Ready to Start?
Here’s the Roadmap.
Inside the Start Your Literacy Practice Course,
You’ll follow a clear, four-pillar process to go from idea to implementation, with all the tools, templates, and support you need along the way.
Pillar 1 - Program Planning & Development
Turn your idea into a business with purpose and clarity.
It’s time to move your vision from the idea stage into a thriving literacy practice. In this pillar, you’ll design a business model that reflects your strengths, values, and the students and families you most want to serve.
You’ll walk away with a clear, actionable plan for the services you’ll offer, ones that not only get results but also feel meaningful and energizing to you.
By the end of this module, you’ll have a solid foundation for a business that’s both impactful and authentically you.
Get ready to feel inspired by your work again.
Pillar 2 - Marketing Masterclass
Learn how to grow your business and attract the right clients.
Having a great service is only part of the equation; people need to know about it. In this pillar, you’ll learn simple, effective marketing strategies that help you grow your caseload without ever feeling pushy or salesy.
We’ll walk you through the exact process we use to generate buzz, connect with your ideal clients, and turn interest into action.
Even if you’ve never marketed anything before, you’ll walk away with clear, authentic frameworks that make it feel easy and completely doable.

Pillar 3 - Simplify & Scale Your Business with Systems!
Set up the back-end of your business so it runs smoothly, now and as you grow.
Not sure where to begin? In this pillar, you’ll learn the exact systems you need to stay organized and scale sustainably.
From client management and billing to task tracking and document organization, you’ll build a streamlined foundation that saves you time, energy, and sanity.
These simple, proven systems take the guesswork out of running and growing your practice, so you can focus on what you do best: creating student success!
Pillar 4 - Know Your Numbers
Get confident with the money side of your business, no accounting degree required.
The financial side of running a practice doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this pillar, you’ll learn the key numbers to track so your business stays profitable, sustainable, and stress-free.
You’ll learn how to:
Calculate your take-home pay
Budget for business expenses
Prepare for taxes without the panic
No complicated processes. No financial jargon. Just the tools and knowledge you need to feel confident and in control.
