The Break Away Tutors Origin Story
Before I became a full-time online tutor, I spent four years working as a scientist 🔬. I started in January 2020 as a trainee scientist and worked my way up to Senior Certification Scientist by April 2024. On paper, it sounded impressive. In reality, I was exhausted, restricted, and watching my ambitions shrink.
When I resigned, I was earning £45,000 a year—but I was giving up something far more valuable: my freedom ✨.
Where it all began:
My career started right before COVID-19 hit 🌍. For a year and a half, I worked fully from home and proved I could do my job without ever stepping into the office.
But when things “returned to normal,” my company ordered me back twice a week. My office was two hours away !! 🚗💨.
Suddenly I was losing 8 hours of travel every week and spending £30 just to show face in a building I didn’t need. With a young family and rising costs of living, I felt trapped.
I wanted location freedom. Plain and simple 🗺️.That’s when tutoring entered my life.
My tutoring journey — the real, unfiltered version:
When I started tutoring in 2022, I had no clue what I was doing 😅.
- I charged £15/hour because I had to revise before every lesson
- I got questions wrong
- I taught straight from textbooks
- I handed out leaflets outside train stations 🚉
- I stuck up posters anywhere I legally could
I was desperate for clients and learning everything the hard way.
My first year? £5,000 total. Painful 😬.
But I was learning.
Year two? £15,000. Better.
I reinvested everything into courses, books, and training 📚.This time, I IMPLEMENTED every lesson immediately.
Then things took off.
From earning £1,800 per month in late 2023…To earning £5,000 in March 2024…And over £6,000 in April 2024 🚀.
I finally bought the freedom I’d been chasing.
The turning point
Between January 2024 and July 2025, my tutoring business made over $100,000 💰.
That’s an average of $5,700 per month, even during slow summer months—completely surpassing my UK scientist salary.
I moved abroad 🌴 My cost of living dropped. My quality of life skyrocketed!! And for the first time ever, I felt in control of my time, my income, and my future.
Why I created Break Away Tutors
I built Break Away Tutors because I know how lonely the journey feels when you’re figuring everything out alone 🤝.
When I started, I had:
- No mentor
- No roadmap
- No marketing plan
- No idea what software to use
- No network
- No system for finding students
I wasted time, money, and energy learning everything from scratch.
I don’t want other educators to go through the same.
Break Away Tutors exists for one purpose:
To help teachers and educators break out of the classroom or 9–5 and experience the freedom of online tutoring 🚪✨.
What our community gives you
Inside the community, tutors get access to:
- A clear roadmap to your first five students
- Weekly live calls where I answer questions directly 🎙️
- My full toolkit of software and time-saving methods
- Support from tutors who share their extra students
- A network where your business grows faster because you’re not alone
How the community truly works — and why engagement matters
For this community to reach its full potential, we all need to engage 💬.
That means:
- Starting conversations
- Asking for advice
- Sharing wins, failures, and lessons
- Being active and supportive
When we build momentum together, something powerful happens:
Student referrals begin moving in ALL directions 🔄.
A maths tutor can pass students to a science tutor. A science tutor can pass students to an English tutor. An English tutor can pass them to a primary tutor.
Everyone wins in THEIR niche 🏆.
The more we engage, the more opportunities flow to all of us.
If this story resonates with you, then you’re exactly who Break Away Tutors was built for.
You don’t need permission to redesign your life. You just need the right community—and a mentor who’s already walked the path.
I’m here to be that mentor 🌟.
So introduce yourself, who are you ? What is your name, what do you currently tutor and what is your dream monthly income to achieve your goals ??
