Imagine your tutoring business set up professionally in just 8 weeks ...
🧩 Becoming a tutor is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not just starting a business, you are realigning yourself to design a life that gives you more of what you need to fit the season of life you are in, and to evolve with the seasons to follow.
🧩 But there is a place for an initial sprint in your journey, and it's our Connect programme. Together, in bite-size video trainings and live group calls, we'll fast-track you to setting up your business without making all the rookie mistakes that will cost you time, nerves and energy. Some of what we do will be relatively obvious, like opening a separate bank account for your business. Some things won't be so obvious, like automating your processes to free up your time to allow you to grow and scale your business.
🧩 And we're here for the marathon as well. Once you have graduated from the group programme, you'll have the option of joining the Jigsaw Membership so you stay supported and connected as your business grows. And the best bit? Included in the monthly fee is access to ready-to-tutor lessons, so you have next to zero prep and the confidence that you are providing consistent, high-quality tutoring with proven outcomes.
What's in the Connect group programme?
🧩 There are 8 modules to complete in 8 weeks that you can access on our learning platform, so you can fit them into your busy schedule whenever it suits you. You'll get bitesize videos with digital interactive booklets with helpful links and space for your notes. Aim for about 2-3 hours a week of work.
🧩 You'll get invited to weekly live group calls where you will get real-time support from the Jigsaw team and the community. The call is also recorded for you to watch back later - especially useful if you can't attend live, but still have questions you need answering. We also have our private WhatsApp chat for community and voicenote support 24/7.

Is it for me?
Connect is designed for you if you are a mid-career primary English teacher in need of a change. You still love teaching and want to help primary children (both native speakers and EAL/ESL learners) with English and literacy, but you want to feel like you are ruling your own world, not letting someone else rule it for you.
From experience, here's what makes for success. Profile yourself, and see if you get more green ticks than red crosses. If you are more green than red, it's a good sign that Connect is for you.
Connect is not right for you if you
❌ are banking on replacing your teacher salary in a month (it might happen, but it's likely to take longer)
❌ can easily find reasons NOT to do something (caution is good, but it's about getting out of your comfort zone)
❌ want to run everything on zero budget (we recommend and use as much free stuff as possible, but you're going to need at least a small start-up budget)
❌ don't have staying power (grit, determination and patience might not sound exciting, but they will hold the key to your success)
❌ can't handle making mistakes (you're going to fluff something up, and it's about taking it as a learning experience, not a personal failure)
❌ are a lone wolf 🐺 (yes, you can do it alone, but we're very much about the power of community here)
❌ are looking for a low-effort 'side hustle'
❌are in your 'just checking things out' era (in which case, you'll love this free training)
Connect is right for you if you
✅ are excited about building a tutoring business that will evolve over time (staying power is your strength)
✅ are ready to embrace challenges and step out of your comfort zone
✅ understand the importance of investing in your success (you have a budget to support this journey)
✅ have the grit and determination to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of starting something new
✅ understand you and your business will evolve - you don't have to be 'perfect' from the start
✅ thrive in a supportive community and appreciate the value of cooperation
✅ are beyond downloading all the freebies and 'just checking things out' and are ready to take action
It feels like Connect is for me ... what do I do next?
🧩 Connect is an invitation-only group programme. That means we will have a quick call to check that we both feel right about working together. It's not a sales call, you definitely won't be pressured into joining, and we'll only work together if we both feel aligned.
🧩We'll guide you through a few questions and you'll have the chance to ask your own. It won't take longer than 15 minutes max.
🧩If we can't help, we can almost certainly give you pointers towards your next steps.
🧩And if we are full, we'll offer you a spot on the waiting list.
