Productivity Hacks All Students Should Be Taught (Regardless of Age)

Today’s article is going to be short and sweet, yet full of actionable items you can take as you need to use yourself, with your child or in your classroom - or, in your tutoring session.

Love me some multi-purpose writing. It’s good for ALL MANKIND… echo echo echo.

Okay, now that I’ve stopped play-typing, I know Jessica is secretly laughing at the first line and specifically the word short, so she’s my motivation for NOT making this a novella but an easy post that’s digestible right now.

Diving in.

Fact: Kids aren’t taught productivity.

[6-Figure Excerpt] My Dad’s A Lawyer (A Tale From The Classroom)

This story is an excerpt taken from Jill’s coming book: How To Go From Broke To 6-Figures Teaching Kids While Making A Huge Difference. Enjoy.

I had a student who once told me, “You can’t say that to me. My dad’s a lawyer. I’ll sue you!”

My response before I could censor myself was to laugh and say, “I’m a teacher. Sue away. I don’t make anything.”

And literally, that was the honest truth. The only thing he could have, gladly, was my growing mound of student debt.

Do This One Thing To Make Finding Students (And Getting Hired) Easy-Peasy

First, let me say that YOU might believe that this image represents YOU in this situation, but guess what?

It doesn't have to be. It shouldn't be. And from this moment on it's simply not.

Read on to learn why.

I hear from wanna-be-tutors all the time, the questions: How do I get hired? How do I find students? How do I get a parent to hire me and pay me money to do math, reading or fill-in-the-blank with their child?

3 Simple Ways to Advertise Your Tutoring Business Free and Get Noticed Fast!

So, Jill, how to get students and actually start tutoring? is a question I am asked often.

Like many, you too may think it's costly to get your business out there.

Or, you might not even know where to start.

Here's the thing.

Biz school or marketing books will tell you to place ads. To definitely get biz cards made but only after you decide on a name and file all your biz license paperwork, open a checking account and maybe even shop for "supplies"!  And of course, you'll need a website.

All this before your first client even walks through your tutoring door!

Why You Don't Need a Teaching Degree To Be a Tutor

Do I need to have a teaching degree to be a tutor?

This is a question I am asked all the time.

Short answer, no.

You do not need to be a teacher nor do you need to have a degree, certification or tons of experience to be a great tutor.

(Now that's not to say if you are a teacher you won't make a good tutor, so don't twist this if you in the classroom. Instead, read on to see if you agree.)

Here’s what you do need.

My Very First Tutoring Job Was In My Worst Subject Area... A Subject I Had *Gasp* Failed!

My Very First Tutoring Job Was In My Worst Subject Area... A Subject I Had *Gasp* Failed!

My first paid tutoring session was in my most dreaded subject...math.

And I was scared to death.

See, I had failed math my entire life AND was about to get paid to teach a high school student my worst possible subject.

I wasn't a math teacher.

I was barely a certified English teacher.

I hadn't gone to school to be a teacher and certainly didn't have any educational degrees that really qualified me to teach.
