"I learned about the practical aspects of running a tutoring business, got some really helpful and unexpected advice, and left with TONS of resources and recommendations for programs and materials that I never would have found on my own."

"This was a very practical class and I learned about advertising as a tutor, recommendations for policies, and received excellent resources to keep learning."

I came away with a clear understanding of "Marketing for tutoring and Wonderful resources."
