Building a tutoring business - with Caroline Bowmer
Episode description
Today we are joined by Caroline Bowmer, who left a 15 year career in science teaching in 2019 to start her own business, Alchemy Education, an online education company.
Caroline and her team use a transformative programme of tutoring, exam technique and mindset coaching to help students to reach their potential and get their best possible GCSE and A Level exam results.
We talk about:
- Caroline’s teaching experience and how much she loved being a teacher

- Building a tutoring business as a side project
