What does it really take to scale a tutoring business beyond yourself and still keep tour staff and students at the centre of it all?

In this episode, I chat with Harry Mavrolefteros, one of my VIP coaching clients and founder of First Education, who has grown his tutoring business to over 1000+ students while leading a strong team and staying true to his values.

Harry shares the lessons he’s learnt along the way, from the early days of working one-on-one with students, to running a thriving tutoring organisation that’s built on both systems and heart.

We dive into:
✔️ What it takes to scale beyond being a solo tutor
✔️ How Harry built systems that allow growth without chaos
✔️ The importance of valuing your staff and building a supportive culture
✔️ Why confidence and clarity matter more than “hustling harder”
✔️ The balance between business growth and staying student-focused

This one’s for you if:
→ You’re dreaming bigger for your tutoring business, but not sure how to scale sustainably
→ You’re stuck doing everything yourself and wondering what needs to shift
→ You want proof that you can grow while still keeping students and staff at the heart of what you do
→ You’re ready to step into CEO mode and think bigger about what’s possible
