This week we were lucky enough to get to speak to the founder of HHT herself, Heidi Williams !
We asked Heidi what made her want to start the company, and here is what she said …
“Hey! It’s Heidi here, founder of HHT ❤️ I wanted to share my story on why I started a tutoring business and what it means to me!
When I was younger, I had a maths tutor who changed how I felt completely about maths, tutoring, school and really helped my confidence. All throughout school I found maths really hard, it hugely knocked me and put me back, I hated it and felt I never had teachers who understood that I did not understand anything they were saying!
My tutor was so personalised and so caring about me and my grade, I eventually passed my GCSE first time and finally seemed to understand maths, with a huge thanks to him!
As I started teacher training and went to university, I was so sure I didn’t want to teach in a school. After working in a school (and inspired by some wonderful teachers) I decided it wasn’t for me! After being an LSA and working 1:1 with students, I really found my passion and knew this was what I wanted to do.
Since then, I’ve had my business running for just under a year and I couldn’t be more proud of my students, my team and myself ❤️ I never thought I’d be capable of running a business, I still find it crazy that I have built this with a passion and with a vision.
I wanted to help children who were like me, not hugely academic and found school challenging - I wanted to give them hope and support to achieve their dream, just like I have done 💫
I adore my amazing team who work so hard for their students and are brilliant, beautiful people who are fantastic examples to their students. I feel so lucky to have this business, as well as working alongside a beautiful theatre school, it is a joy to adore what I do and it’s thanks to my lovely customers who make it happen 📚❤️
