We had the good fortune of connecting with Karlesha Springs and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Karlesha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
As an educator, I felt restricted in my ability to truly connect with and support students on an individual level. I wanted to meet the diverse needs of students without large class sizes, standardized testing, and rigid curriculum requirements. A one-size-fits-all approach can leave many students feeling uninspired and disengaged. I envisioned developing a personalized educational setting for students, prompting me to establish my own educational services. Through my tutoring business, I gained the autonomy to create a learning environment that could accommodate the individual needs and interests of each student.

What should our readers know about your business?
Tutoring is commonly associated with academic support and knowledge transfer, it goes far beyond just helping students excel in their studies. At Team Springs Tutoring Services, running a tutoring business is more of a ministry, a calling to empower and uplift individuals through education.

At the core of any tutoring business lies the desire to make a difference in the lives of students. Whether it’s helping a struggling student grasp a difficult concept, boosting a student’s confidence, or guiding them towards their academic goals, tutoring is all about fostering growth and development. We are set apart from other tutoring businesses because our tutoring is about serving others and helping them reach their full potential.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of operating a tutoring business is the connections that are established with students and parents. Parents can work closely with tutors to monitor their child’s progress, set goals, and address any areas of concern. Providing our clients with encouragement motivates us to continue assisting other families within our community.
Running a successful tutoring business can present its challenges. But for me, faith has been the driving force behind my journey to where I am today. When I first started my tutoring business, I had a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve. I believed in the impact I could make in the lives of students and the community. The belief in my vision gave me the confidence to push through challenges and setbacks. Faith helped me stay focused on my goals and motivated me to keep moving forward, even when the odds seemed stacked against me.

Building a tutoring business comes with its fair share of obstacles. From finding clients to managing finances, there are numerous challenges that can arise. In times of uncertainty and adversity, it was my faith that gave me the strength to persevere. I learned to trust in the process, knowing that every obstacle was an opportunity for growth and learning.
Faith taught me the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. Instead of dwelling on failures or setbacks, I learned to adapt and evolve. I embraced challenges as opportunities to strengthen my skills and expand my business. By staying true to my beliefs and remaining resilient in the face of challenges, I was able to overcome obstacles and grow my tutoring business.
The world should know that we understand that each student has unique learning styles and challenges, which is why we tailor our tutoring sessions to cater to individual needs. Whether you are a visual learner struggling with math or an auditory learner needing help with language skills, our tutors are here to provide the support you need.

Yes, students and parents have busy schedules and other commitments. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate their availability. Whether our clients prefer in-person sessions or online tutoring, our tutors are ready to work with them at a time that suits them best.The success of our tutoring business is evident in the achievements of our students. Many of our past clients have seen significant improvements in their grades, comprehension of subject matter, and overall confidence in their academic abilities. We take pride in these success stories and are committed to helping more students reach their academic goals.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you are in Alabama during the months of February or March, it is highly recommended to take part in the vibrant Mardi Gras celebrations in the birthplace of the tradition. Festive events such as Mardi Gras balls and family-friendly festivals are held throughout the city. On Mardi Gras day, there are ample opportunities to experience a variety of cultural aspects such as food, music, art, and fashion at various locations within the city.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
In a world where education is the key to unlocking endless possibilities, we believe in the power of learning and growth. At Team Springs Tutoring Services, we are committed to delivering high-quality educational resources and services to assist individuals in achieving their goals. As the owner, I value our team of dedicated tutors who not only provide academic support but also serve as mentors and advocates for our students. I also want to express my appreciation to the parents of our students for entrusting us to help their children succeed academically. We take pride in our ability to close learning gaps and make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
