Create a business for the lifestyle you want.
Helping educators leave the classroom and set up a successful Virtual Assistant business. Are you ready to reclaim your life?
You've tried all the things...
-
REDUCING YOUR HOURS
Thinking a day or two at home will help you manage your life-admin, catch up on marking and prep to only find you're working full-time hours and it's not the same at work anymore...
-
MOVING SCHOOLS
The promise of a fresh start and freedom to be more creative gives you that "newly-qualified-have-my-first-ever-class" feels but this soon by Week 5. You find yourself yet again on your knees, wondering why other people seem to be able to cope with the workload...

SETTING BOUNDARIES
Especially after having kids, the need to leave work at the door (or at least until after bedtime!) means having to not work becomes an uncomfortable reality. So why does it feel like there is no area of life in which you're winning?
You know you need to leave…
But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start.
You know you need more time.
You now you want to fall in love with work again.
You know there must be something out there for you…
If you’ve scrolled the job sites and nothing’s floating your boat…
Perhaps it’s time to consider being
your own boss!
This is a bit of a secret…
Did you know that teachers - yes, I’m looking at you - make amazing Virtual Assistants?
Virtual Assistants (or VAs) work from home providing administrative or support services to busy business owners.
SO… what does a VA do day-to-day?
These are just a few of the varied tasks a VA might do for their client…
Teacher VAs shine because of this magical combination...
-
CREATIVITY
When you have the space to breathe you're a "think outside of the box" solution finder! You have amazing ideas and are always looking for the next way to inspire others. Don't take for granted your creativity - not everyone can knock up a dazzling presentation, engage diverse audiences or bring ideas to life the way you do!
-
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
You love mapping out a solution... Starting at the beginning and seeing a project through to the end - bliss! You're amazing at identifying risks, planning timescales and managing resources. You can liaise with the best of them and drive complex change. Not all VAs have your project management experience!
-
COMMUNICATION
Where else would you persuade, excite, placate, humour and expertly direct, all before a hot cuppa of tea in the morning? You're a communication pro and an expert at breaking down complex information. Your customer service is skilled, and most importantly, you anticipate your clients' needs - the most valued skill in a VA.
A VA
business offers…
Greater Flexibility
Increased Energy
More Creativity
Uncapped Earning Potential
Autonomy & Freedom
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room!
You might be sold on the lifestyle but what about the cold hard cash? What does the average earnings for a VA look like in the UK?
This does depend on how much you charge per hour - here are the findings from this year’s UK Virtual Assistant Survey 2024…

What Previous Business School Mentees Say…
Jo’s advice and mentoring has been invaluable in supporting me to set up my business and helping to be ambitious. The community has boosted my confidence many times and the resources around developing your business values, serving not selling and focusing on the problem you solve as well as developing an understanding of social media and the different types of posts to share have been so helpful. I’ve learned so much… The community, Jo and all the fabulous resources are worth every penny and more.
— Rachael
Before I started working with Jo I knew I would love to run my own business, but I had no idea how to get my ideas off the ground. It felt like there was just so much to do and I had no idea where to start or if I could make a success of it. The AAT Business School has been absolutely fantastic for walking me through the process of getting set up, conducting market research, nailing my messaging and so much more. Regular group sessions help to keep me focussed and accountable when working in my business… 7 months ago my business was just an idea, and now I’m fully booked and growing my own team! Thank you, Adventures After Teaching! 💛
— Sophie
Jo’s business mentoring gave me the belief that I could start my own business. She then gave me the confidence and the tools to put the plan into action. The resources were brilliant and helped me to identify my ideal client and begin my business journey. I would not be in the position I am now if it’s wasn’t for Jo and her support.
