Let’s talk about a group that doesn’t always get the love they deserve: educators and tutors.
Farhad recently shared an idea that really stuck with me, building a platform for tutors who feel boxed in by the big agencies. Because right now, here’s the reality:
👉 Many tutors are ready to leave their teaching jobs and go all-in on tutoring.
👉 They’re good at what they do, their students love them, and they’ve got real demand.
👉 But the platforms they rely on? They’re bleeding them dry with high commissions that make it nearly impossible to scale.
That’s not just frustrating, it’s broken.
The Real Opportunity Here
This is bigger than just “another online platform.” It’s about creating a system that puts power back into the hands of the people actually doing the work.
✨ Lower costs – Give tutors a way to keep more of what they earn.
✨ Better tools – Scheduling, communication, and payments all in one place.
✨ Real ownership – Instead of being stuck on someone else’s platform, they can build their own business.
The point isn’t just to cut commissions. It’s to create a path to independence.
But Here’s the Big Question
When HighLevel looked at this idea, we asked something important:
“Do tutors actually want to grow like business owners? Or do they prefer to keep it slow and steady, word-of-mouth, a few clients at a time?”
Because here’s the truth: not every market wants fast growth. Some people are content running a small, local, relationship-driven business.
And that’s okay.
But if you’re building a platform, you’ve got to know who you’re really serving:
- Is it for the hustlers who want to grow and scale?
- Or is it for the locals who just want to keep things manageable?
Get that wrong, and your platform won’t stick. Get it right, and you’ll have an army of loyal users.
My Takeaway
Here’s what I love about this conversation: it’s not about building tech for tech’s sake. It’s about listening to the people you serve.
Whether you’re working with educators, dentists, real estate agents, or restaurant owners, the same rule applies:
👉 Find their pain.
👉 Build tools that solve it.
👉 Deliver freedom, not just features.
That’s how you build a platform that people want to use, not one they feel forced into.
