From Passion to Purpose: My Journey in Building a Tutoring Business During COVID

Jasmin, Marseille

Building a Strong Educational Foundation

Introduction


It all began when I was 12, with children from my school doing their homework. My passion for teaching grew over the years, and by the time I turned 23, I had a clear vision: to build a tutoring business to help children develop a solid educational foundation. During this time, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and was en route to obtain my teaching certification. Then, COVID-19 hit, disrupting traditional education, and leaving countless students struggling. That was when my passion turned into a mission and my mission into a business.


The Birth of a Business During a Pandemic


When the pandemic caused schools to shut down, many parents found themselves in uncharted territory, trying to balance work, home life, and their children's education. I saw an opportunity to make a real difference. I transitioned my informal tutoring into a full-fledged business, offering in-person with those close to me and virtual sessions to help students stay on track. With my business administration background, I quickly adapted to the changing environment, implementing effective strategies to reach more students. It wasn't just about tutoring—it was about providing stability and consistency in a time of uncertainty.


Building a Strong Educational Foundation


My tutoring sessions focus on building a robust educational foundation for each child. I use interactive tools, games, and real-life examples to make learning engaging and enjoyable. It's not just about memorizing facts; it's about fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A strong foundation in these areas can set children up for success throughout their academic journey.


The Joy of Seeing Progress and Growth


One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the transformation in my students. I've seen shy children gain confidence as they master new skills, and I've watched struggling readers become avid book lovers. These moments bring me immense joy and reaffirm my commitment to helping children reach their full potential.


My Life Journey: Helping Children Succeed.


Helping children build a stronger educational foundation has become my life's journey. Education is the key to unlocking opportunities, and I am dedicated to providing the support and guidance children need to thrive. Whether through personalized tutoring sessions or encouraging parents to be involved in their child's learning, my goal is to make a lasting impact on every family I work with.


Conclusion


From a 12-year-old tutor to a 23-year-old business owner with a BBA from FAU  and a teaching certification, my journey has been driven by a love for teaching and a desire to make a difference. The COVID-19 pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity to turn my passion into a business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'd love to connect if you're interested in learning more about my tutoring services or collaborating with me. Let's work together to build a brighter future for our children.
