The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process. If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to t ...

045 - Pit Pony Ilana King - Classroom to Educational Consultant
Manage episode 478407339 series 3610145

All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Sharon Cawley and Sarah Dunwood, Sharon Cawley, and Sarah Dunwood or their podcast platform partner.

In this episode, we’re joined by the unstoppable Ilana King - educational consultant, entrance exam specialist, home educator, and all-round powerhouse.
Ilana’s journey is far from typical. After just two years in the classroom, she knew it wasn’t the right fit - and rather than settle, she built something new. Literally. She created her own nursery from the ground up (on land she negotiated with a secondary school), ran it successfully, then sold it and pivoted again. She home educated her three children for 20 years and now sits at the heart of the tuition community, supporting families through 7+, 8+, and 11+ entrance exams and training other tutors to do the same.
This episode is a masterclass in self-belief, values-led decisions, and building a career on your own terms. Whether you’re still in the classroom or already planning your escape, Ilana’s story will show you what’s possible when you refuse to be boxed in.
Highlights include:
- Why she walked away from teaching after just two years
- The toxic school culture that helped her make up her mind
- Building and running two nurseries before age 30
- Why she home educated her children — and how
- The secrets of the selective school entrance exam world
- Creating a sustainable, empowering tutoring business
Ilana didn’t just leave teaching - she rewrote the script.
