Hear from our members

TSA has helped me grow as a business owner. I love the Facebook group and being around my “colleagues” who give me feedback and support. There are people who are where I aspire to be, people who are right where I am, and I love being able to help fellow independent educators with advice from what I have learned.

I enrolled in the Tutor Success Academy and learned about all the tools I needed to make my business mine and take it to the level I wanted. The past 4 months I really found my sweet spot and feel like my business is running smoothly. I’m excited for 2022 and all that it holds!

Jill Kohlenberg

Hi, I’m Jill Kohlenberg, co-creator of Tutor Success Academy. After 13 years in the public school system, I wanted to be able to use more of my training and serve students in a more individual way than I could do in my classroom position, and I had a true calling to support homeschooling families. I made the “big leap” into starting a full-time tutoring business with private sessions, classes, and groups- and I haven’t looked back! After discovering I really enjoyed the business side of tutoring, I teamed up with Emily to start our initial cohort program in the summer of 2018, and we have since served over 2,000 educators through our cohort program, courses, and summits. Working with educators in this way has been one of the highest joys of my career!
