A typical week
Running an academy is a lot of small things.
- ContentNotes and videos spread across WhatsApp groups and Drive folders.
- TutorsEach tutor teaching from their own material, at their own pace.
- Students"What was I supposed to practise this week?"
- FeesChasing payments from students in three time zones.
None of this is hard. It just adds up.
