How Leadership Fueled My Tutoring Success
*Sorry about the echo and static in this episode. Our audio had a bug but the content is must-listen to. Susan provides many great gems for us tutorpreneurs.
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Susan Grimes, founder of Tutoring with Ms. Susan LLC, a leading provider of personalized online tutoring for young learners ages 3–8. With over 17 years of experience in early childhood education, Susan has built a thriving tutoring business rooted in compassion, creativity, and a deep understanding that every child learns differently.
Susan opens up about her journey from being a naturally introverted & shy educator to becoming a confident leader and business owner. She shares how embracing her introversion actually became one of her greatest strengths, allowing her to connect deeply with children and parents/guardians alike.
What we covered:
✅ What inspired Susan to start Tutoring with Ms. Susan LLC, and how her passion for teaching young children shaped her vision
✅ How being an introvert became a superpower in growing her tutoring business
✅ The lessons she learned as she stepped into leadership and overcame shyness
✅ Key challenges she faced while leading and what they taught her about resilience and growth
✅ Encouragement and advice for other tutors ready to step into leadership—on Susan's own terms
If you’ve ever doubted whether quiet confidence can lead to big success, this episode is proof that it can. Susan’s story reminds us that leadership isn’t about being the loudest in the room; it’s about leading with heart, purpose, and authenticity.
