 Help for struggling students
Kevin Smith, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
Tutoring Solutions helps kids all over Tucson realize their potential. Not every problem has a solution. Deborah Rodriguez thinks
she has one.
Tutoring Solutions LLC is Rodriguez's startup business that has grown from helping struggling students on the East Side to citywide.
- Hiring help adds focus as tutoring service grows
Tiana Velez, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
SMALL BUSINESS MAKEOVER A local business counselor offers advice. Finding that perfect work-life balance isn't always first
on the list of priorities for a solo entrepreneur. Debbie Rodriguez, who owns a tutoring business, knew the needed balance existed
but did not have the time to achieve it. She wanted her business to grow, and sometimes logged 70 or more hours a week working
on it. She wanted to learn how to build it the right way without risking burnout.
- Tutoring Solutions' boss no longer bogged down
Tiana Velez, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
Even academic tutors can use a little hand to learn new skills, now and then.
Last July, Tutoring Solutions owner Debbie Rodriguez-Baggesen was trying to get some new programming off the ground in time for
summer school.
Started in 2003, the service provided one-on-one tutoring to school-age children and young teens, but Rodriguez-Baggesen had
some ideas on how to expand.
The problem was while she had a lot of ideas, she had no time to put them into action.
She admitted her life lacked balance.
"I worked all the time. There were no vacation, no set schedules or hours," she said last year. "I'd think, 'Am I working on the things
that I need to be working on?' "

investments you can make now that will lead to later independence: investing in

 Women's Foundation 2006 luncheon
