Every tutor faces an income dip at some point. The question is whether it catches you off guard every time or whether you have a plan for it. This episode covers both. What to do if you are in one right now, and how to make sure it never blindsides you again.

In this episode, you will discover:

• Why the income dip feels more alarming than it usually is, and what that feeling is actually telling you

• Practical things you can do right now if you are already in a quieter period

• How to use a sales boost to create momentum even when the diary is thin

• Why planning your finances around the academic year is working against you, and what to do instead

• How your pricing might be part of the problem and how to start thinking about it differently
