Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow sits down with special guest and fellow tutorpreneur Emily Fogg, the founder of Wise Owl Tuition. Wise Owl Tuition is a tutoring business based in Perth, Australia, that focuses on providing support to neurodiverse learners aged 6-16.
Emily shares her inspiring journey of transitioning from a teaching career to starting her own tutoring company. Motivated by the lack of accessible and high-quality tutoring options in her local community, Emily took the leap and founded Wise Owl Tuition in 2020.
At Wise Owl Tuition, Emily offers personalized one-on-one and small group tutoring sessions, with a primary focus on English and math. What sets Wise Owl Tuition apart is Emily's use of specialized, evidence-based programs such as the "science of reading" approach. These programs are specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of students with conditions like dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism.
To ensure accessibility, Emily operates out of local community centers and also offers virtual tutoring sessions. In addition, she has established partnerships with schools to provide in-school support during the day. This flexibility has not only allowed Emily to reach more students but has also greatly improved her work-life balance as a working parent.
Despite the challenges of starting a business during the pandemic, Emily has found success through word-of-mouth referrals and online marketing. As the demand for Wise Owl Tuition continues to grow, Emily is now looking to hire additional staff to further expand her services.
Join us as we delve into Emily's passion for supporting neurodiverse students and her entrepreneurial journey in building a thriving tutoring company. Tune in to gain valuable insights and be inspired by Emily's dedication to making a difference in the lives of neurodiverse learners.
