Leaving a stable 9-to-5 job to start a business is not an easy decision. For Sujit, it meant stepping away from a corporate tech career and jumping into the world of education. He wasn’t looking for another job. He was looking for meaning, impact, and freedom.
Today, he runs Success Tutoring Penrith, one of the fastest-growing education centres in Australia. And he says it’s been one of the most fulfilling decisions he’s ever made—not just professionally, but personally too.
This is his story.
“I Felt Stuck in My Career”
Sujit had a strong background in software engineering. He had the skills. The job. The routine. But something didn’t feel right.
“My job was stable, but it lacked purpose,” Sujit shares. “I wanted to wake up each day excited, knowing I was building something bigger than myself.”
He wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Many people in corporate roles feel boxed in. The security of a monthly paycheck can often come at the cost of freedom, creativity, and deeper impact.
For Sujit, the turning point came when he started searching for a business opportunity that would allow him to make a difference in people’s lives. That’s when he found Success Tutoring.
Why Sujit Chose Success Tutoring
Sujit explored many options. But what stood out to him about Success Tutoring was how closely it aligned with his own values.
“I always wanted to give back to my community. Success Tutoring’s mission to motivate, inspire, and uplift students felt personal. I saw myself in it.”
The franchise offered more than just a proven business model. It offered mentorship, systems, and a purpose-driven approach to education.
As a first-time business owner, Sujit knew he needed support—not just theory, but real people to guide him through the transition.
And that’s exactly what he got.
From Day One: A Fast Start With Real Results
Success Tutoring’s franchise model is designed for momentum.
Before even opening the doors, Sujit had already signed up over 75 foundation members—students who had committed to joining from the first week.
That meant revenue from day one. No long wait. No cash flow issues.
Within just six months, Sujit hit 120 members.
“From the very start, it felt real. I wasn’t hoping for results. I was seeing them.”
He even won a national award for the most foundation members of any franchise in 2024. A huge milestone, and a sign that he had made the right decision.
A Business That Changed His Life
Success Tutoring didn’t just give Sujit a thriving business. It gave him something he never had in his corporate career: balance.
“I spend more quality time with my wife and child now than ever before. That was hard to manage in my 9-to-5 job.”
With systems and processes already in place—from student onboarding to scheduling via the mobile app—Sujit could focus on the things that mattered most: connecting with his team, engaging with families, and supporting students.
“I feel confident, driven, and more connected to my community than ever.”
Building a Business With Meaning
Many people think of tutoring as just helping students improve grades. But Sujit saw it as much more.
“We’re not just teaching subjects. We’re helping kids build confidence. That’s what keeps them coming back.”
At Success Tutoring Penrith, Sujit built a strong local presence. He focused on building relationships with families and students, rather than just chasing numbers.
That sense of trust is what helped the business grow organically. Parents referred others. Students started seeing real academic improvement. And word spread.
Systems That Actually Work
What helped Sujit succeed wasn’t luck—it was a system that had already been tested across dozens of locations.
- Personalized materials aligned with the school curriculum
- A flexible membership model that allows parents to book weekly without locking into long-term contracts
- A central app for real-time bookings, changes, and updates
These systems allowed Sujit to focus on community building rather than admin.
“The app made it easy for families. The backend made it easier for me.”
The Truth About Franchising
Sujit is honest about one thing: he was scared. Starting a business—especially for the first time—is intimidating.
But joining a franchise reduced that risk.
“You’re 90% more likely to succeed in a franchise system than going out on your own. I didn’t know that at first. But it’s true.”
The support from Success Tutoring’s head office—from marketing to onboarding to performance tracking—made the transition smooth.
He wasn’t just handed a logo and told “good luck.” He was guided, trained, and supported every step of the way.
What Life Looks Like Now
So, what’s life like now for Sujit?
- He’s running a business that’s profitable and growing.
- He’s spending more time with his family.
- He’s making a real impact on students in his local area.
- And he’s no longer stuck.
“Every day feels different. Every day feels like it matters. That’s something I never had before.”
Final Words: Don’t Let Fear Win
Sujit’s advice for anyone sitting on the fence?
“Fear held me back for years. But at some point, you have to trust your instincts.”
He knows this isn’t for everyone. But if you’re someone who wants to leave a career that no longer excites you…
If you want to run a business that helps people…
And if you want a structure that gives you the best possible chance of success…
Then maybe it’s time.
“Joining Success Tutoring changed my life. And I’ll always be grateful I took the leap.”
