Ways to work with me
Hello, I’m Jemma Zoe Smith
My name is Jemma and I am the Director of the Education Hotel. I left teaching in 2019 and became the Director of The Education Hotel. Since then I have
- Travelled the world as a private tutor working with clients in the Bahamas, Hawaii, California, Turkey, Dubai, Kenya, Monaco in person
- Been featured in Harpers Bazar, The Times, The Independent, The telegraph
- Consulted for some of the largest lifestlye consultancies in the world, including a trip to China to speak about Oxbridge admissions
- Worked with some of the UK largest summer schools and textbooks as a contractor
- Run a tuition agency adding holiday courses, group classes, masterclasses and downloads
- Hired a team of 70 tutors and staff
- Created passive income streams
- Franchised my business
Now I help other ambitious people build their own service business – without it taking over your life. I have supported tutors, home educating memberships, recording studios, personal trainers. The majority of my clients are looking to develop their businesses in the education, parenting or training space.
I want you to have a business model that impacts loads of people, and earns you lots of income, but without having to work every hour of every day to do this!

Just starting out in tutoring?
Where better to get advice from someone who not only has been there and done that – but also hires others who have!
- As someone who has tutored part time for 5 years and full time for 6, I know what tutors need to get up and going
- As an agency owner, I know what agencies want when looking for a tutor (and what they are afraid of)
- As someone who has worked around the world, both as a tutor online, in person and consulting – across USA, China and Europe, I have a great deal of experience working with agents and guardians from other countries to provide a good service and increase daytime work
- I have also worked with companies such as Oxford University press, oxford royale academy, Oxbridge applications and Quintessentially lifestyle consultants as an education expert, so I know how to get a foot in the door there
- I have been published in top newspapers and on the radio and leveraged this to get more clients and be seen as an expert in my field.
I run a 1 day face to face* workshop at my home on the edge of the cotswolds, helping new tutors to get fully set up with Finance, Business basics, Agency applications, Policies, Social media pages, plus 3 professional headshots and video b roll included
