If you’re dreaming about building a microschool, homeschool hybrid, or tutoring business—and you know you can’t do it all by yourself forever—today’s episode is for you.

Hiring teachers is one of the biggest milestones in your journey from solo teacher to school founder. But it’s also one of the places where I see the most mistakes made. I want to help you avoid the pain, pressure, and pitfalls I’ve seen (and personally experienced) along the way.

I’ve been in your shoes.
You’ve got the vision. You’re building the program. Families are interested. You know it’s time to bring someone else in…
But then the fear hits.

“What if I hire the wrong person?”
“What if I can’t afford them?”
“What if they don’t teach like me or believe in my vision?”

Or maybe you’ve already hired someone and you’re wondering why things feel off—why it doesn’t feel like the team you imagined in your head when you started.

That’s exactly why we’re diving into the most common hiring mistakes new microschool founders make—so you can learn from them, grow through them, and take steps that will set your team (and your students) up for success from the start.

I’m so excited you’re here because today we’re kicking off a brand-new podcast series all about hiring teachers for your microschool, homeschool hybrid, or tutoring business. This is one of the most important, most transformational, and let’s be honest—sometimes most overwhelming—parts of growing your dream teacher business.

If you’re listening right now, I’m guessing you’re either feeling the nudge that it’s time to bring someone onto your team, or maybe you’ve already tried and it didn’t quite go as planned.
You might be asking yourself things like:

• “How do I know if they’re the right fit?”

• “Can I even afford to hire help?”

• “What if they don’t teach like me?”

• “How do I trust someone else with my vision, my students, my families…?”

I get it.
And you are not alone.

I’m actually right in the middle of hiring teachers for my own microschool as we speak—so this series is coming straight from the heart and straight from the trenches.

Here’s the truth: You were never meant to carry this dream alone.
But hiring the wrong person… that can do more damage than doing it all by yourself.
And that’s why today’s episode is so foundational.

We’re talking about why hiring the right teachers can make or break your microschool vision.

This isn’t about finding someone with the perfect resume. It’s about building a team that shares your values, protects your culture, and helps you lead your school with peace—not pressure.

So if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure about how to grow your team the right way, today’s episode is going to give you clarity, confidence, and a little mindset shift that will change how you think about hiring forever.

Today we’re tackling the #1 question I get from every teacher running a one-room-schoolhouse vibe:

“How on earth do I teach Kindergarten and 5th grade—at the same time—without losing my mind?”

Maybe you’ve pictured calm, collaborative group work… but real life looks more like organized chaos—your first grader needs help sounding out a word while your 10-year-old is stuck on long division, and someone else is asking what page they’re supposed to be on.

Deep breath. Together we’re going to:

1. Spot the subjects that actually combine well (and the ones that need a different plan).

2. Explore curriculum gems that serve multiple ages with one program.

3. Walk through practical classroom hacks—rotations, projects, and independence strategies that let you stop spinning plates and start coaching confident learners.
