‘My business relies heavily on social media. Social media marketing has been incredibly important to the business’s growth and success for us at Smart Choice Tutors. I’ve been following both Laura and Robyn for a long time. I really identified with their busy lives and intentions to enjoy being a businesswoman whilst juggling other commitments. They are both huge role models for me, of what women and mothers in business can do- anything! I attended their reels training in March, and have already posted my own reel. It was such helpful training, where the session was really practical and based on exactly what the audience wanted to be taught. It was engaging at all times and I felt completely inspired and empowered! It is so kind of Laura and Robyn to share their tips and tricks with us, they have worked for years and years to build a strong brand image and reputation and their experience is clear. Thank you for the session, I can’t wait for the next one and to learn more from such lovely, supportive ladies.’ – Emily. Lead Tutor, Founder and Director. Smart Choice Tutors

Alicia Cornell –
Somehow Laura and Robyn managed to cram a lot of information into their course AND keep a fun and light-hearted atmosphere. They answered all questions thrown at them with confidence and a wealth of knowledge and it was great to have the chance to focus on just one aspect of social media (reels). I particularly liked that they offered to live tutorials creating a reel together which you could choose between based on your skill level.
