💻 Online education - starting a business with Hugh Viney

#23 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by The Bonjour Agency. If you work in an independent school then this is the podcast for you BUT we don’t talk about work here. Why not? Well, because you’re probably too busy to listen to a podcast when you’re at work and when you’re not at work (you’re walking the dog, you’re in the gym, you’re driving back from dropping your kid at university) then let’s face it, you don’t want to listen to something that’s too worky worky.

Now, this is a really interesting episode because my guest this time is Hugh Viney, he’s the founder of Minerva Tutors and Minerva Virtual Academy so he’s flying the flag for the online school option.

Now even though we don’t talk about work I do challenge Hugh on the elephant in the room, that surely children shouldn’t be online for school but they should be running around with other children in the playground and learning in a physical classroom. Check out what he has to say about that.

But I also ask him what he did before starting an online school (he was in a band) and how he feels running the school. But is it a school or is it a business? Or are all schools businesses?

So much to talk about, so little time so let’s not waste any of it but instead let’s jump into a world of online education as we speak to Hugh Viney.
