A focused 1:1 working session for teachers, tutors, and facilitators. 50 minutes on your skills, your options — tutoring, facilitating, or building your own — and what's realistic for your hours and income goal.
This is not a sales call. It's a strategic working session.
Book Your Educator Deep Dive — $19950 minutes · 1:1 · You leave with a direction, not another "maybe someday"
Your skills are worth more than one system's version of your career. This session maps where they fit — and what they can earn.
Still in the classroom, quietly wondering what's on the other side — and what's realistic before you leap.
You have students — now it's rates, packaging, capacity, and turning sessions into a real income.
Working with pods or programs — or wanting to — and figuring out roles, boundaries, and pay.
Part of you doesn't want to join a program. Part of you wants to build one. Let's find out which part is right.
You bring the skills and the restlessness. We bring the map of what alternative education actually pays for — and how to fit it to your life.
You'll leave with a pathway — not another year of wondering.
We start with your intake and go deep on what matters most to your situation. Some examples:
Tutor, facilitator, enrichment provider, homeschool support, founder — which fits your skills and capacity.
What educators actually charge in this space — and why you're probably under-asking.
Turning "I can teach" into a specific service families say yes to.
Where your first clients come from — and how to be findable.
Building around your real life — side income to full leap.
If you're leaving a classroom: sequence, savings, and timing.
Facilitator vs teacher vs tutor — boundaries, responsibilities, and who carries what.
Whether building your own pod or program is your real next step.
Whatever you're deciding — we map the concrete first step.
This is career strategy work — not a lecture, not a pep talk.
A short intake on your background, pull, hours, and income goal. I read every one personally before we meet.
We work through your options in real time — pathway, rates, packaging, and sequence.
You leave knowing your direction, your numbers, and your first move — on your own or with support.
Pick a time, complete your educator intake, and come as you are.
It's the best time. Exploring your options while you still have a paycheck means you plan the transition instead of fleeing into one. Nothing about this session requires you to quit anything.
No. Sometimes the honest answer is "stay, and add tutoring on the side." The session maps what's realistic for YOUR hours, income goal, and life — including keeping what works.
That's half the reason educators book this. You'll leave with real rate ranges for your pathway — and the reasoning behind them, so you can defend your price with confidence.
Bring your experience, your hours, and your income goal — and leave with a pathway.

Learning Pods is a community platform for families, educators, and founders building or finding alternative education — learning pods, microschools, homeschool support programs, tutoring, and enrichment. You can browse for free, and most tools are free to start.
Use the Pod Map (in your sidebar under Network, or at /pod-map/) — it shows programs plotted near you, with filters for age, schedule, format, and budget.
Pick whichever describes most of what you're doing right now: Parent if you're looking for a program for your child, Facilitator/Educator if you teach or tutor, Founder if you run or want to start a program, Vendor if you offer products or services to programs. You can hold more than one role on the same account.
Yes. If your account has more than one role, a role switcher appears in your top navigation ("Switch role as...") — it changes your dashboard and profile fields without creating a second account.
Go to Profile from your account menu (top-right avatar). You can update your photo, bio, and role-specific details there.
Profile → Privacy tab has toggles for directory visibility, connection requests, online status, and notification preferences.
Use "Forgot password" on the sign-in page — we'll email you a reset link.
A free profile lets you create a listing and appear on the map. Network Membership adds enhanced visibility, weekly office hours, and member resources for a monthly fee — see /network-membership/ for the full comparison.
LearningPods OS is the bigger step up — it includes everything Network Membership does, plus the full backend system for inquiries, enrollment, payment tracking, parent communication, and documents. See /learningpods-os/.
Access usually updates automatically within a few minutes of payment. If it's been longer than that, contact us from the button below with the email you used to pay and we'll sort it out right away.
No — founding and pre-sale prices are early-access pricing and increase later (each product page shows the exact date). Locking in now keeps that lower price for as long as you stay subscribed.
Open their profile or find them in Members, and use the Message button — or go to Messages in your top navigation to see all your conversations.
Go to /regional-groups/create.php (or "Build Your Own Program" in the Resource Library) — a short wizard walks you through details, photos, and location. Your program then appears on the Pod Map and is written to help it get found in search.
Community (in your sidebar under Network) opens straight into the feed — post, ask a question, or filter by topic chips relevant to your role.
Use the Contact button below, or go to /contact/ any time — a real person reads every message.
The Resource Library (/resources/) has free guides, checklists, and worksheets for every role, plus paid courses and programs when you're ready to go deeper.
