As we near the finalization of our partnership agreement with Singapore Asia Publishers (SAP) for our e-shop, it signifies the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us. When I reflect on how far we had come—from helping educators create video lessons, which is still an ongoing effort, to now having our own e-shop—it’s truly humbling to see how much we had grown. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter, but it also makes me pause and think about the path that led us here.
We began with meeting countless educators and conducting video training workshops through the Community of Tutors (COT), and over time, we began to notice how the pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together. The more people we met, the clearer it became that every conversation, every relationship, played a role in guiding us forward. What stands out most from this journey is the importance of staying open and humble.
At times, it’s easy to be selective about who we engage with or who we choose to listen to, but I have learnt that the real value lies in staying open to everyone. Whether it’s an educator who’s willing to share their knowledge for an hour or someone from a completely different background, each person has something meaningful to offer. In the end, I have come to realize that this lesson isn't just important for us, but for anyone running a tuition business—or really, any business. The willingness to listen, to learn from others, and to remain open-minded can make all the difference in how we grow and evolve.
This journey has reinforced the idea that staying open to others and embracing new perspectives can lead to growth in ways we never imagined. I believe this approach can benefit any business, big or small, because the connections we make along the way are often the keys to our success. Rayvaithi Alagappan— feeling grateful.
