057 - Pit Pony Emma Harper - Classroom to CEO / Marketing Mentor - Part 2

Emma Harper Part 2: Finding Freedom After the Fall

In the second half of Emma Harper’s story, we follow her journey out of the classroom for good. After a final crisis point left her broken and exhausted, Emma made the decision to leave teaching in December 2023. What followed was not just survival, but transformation.

Emma shares how tutoring became a vital part of her healing, how she built Core Plus Tuition, and why creating a safe space for both students and tutors has become her mission. We also explore how her business grew, leading to the launch of Make Your Marketing Count, her second venture supporting service-based business owners.

This episode also includes a powerful epilogue, where we reflect on adult safeguarding in schools, systemic failure, and the push for meaningful change at a national level. Honest, heartfelt, and fuelled by purpose, Emma’s story is a must-listen for anyone who has ever questioned what teaching is costing them.
