Fractional talent · Education
Education entrepreneurs: whether running a tutoring center, online course platform, or private school: spend enormous time on enrollment inquiries, scheduling, parent communications, and LMS administration that never quite fits into a 40-hour week. These tasks are essential but pull you away from curriculum development, instruction, and growth. Nacho connects you with US-based assistants who understand the rhythms of the academic calendar and can keep operations running without constant oversight.
Nacho matches education companies with vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistants and Specialists who own the recurring work week after week, not one-off tasks. You start with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, set a monthly Talent Budget from $1,000, and we match you in about a week.

The challenge
01
Inquiry volume spikes every August and January, flooding inboxes with applications, placement questions, and follow-up requests that require fast, accurate responses, often while you're simultaneously running classes or managing staff.
02
Uploading content, managing student access, tracking completion rates, and troubleshooting login issues in platforms like Teachable, Canvas, or Kajabi is time-consuming work that doesn't require your expertise but does require someone who knows the tools.
03
Unanswered emails and delayed responses to scheduling requests erode trust quickly in education, but keeping up with a high volume of individualized communications is nearly impossible when you're also delivering instruction.
04
Coordinating instructor availability, student sessions, facility use, and makeup classes across tools like Acuity, Calendly, or Google Calendar creates a daily puzzle that consumes hours most education operators don't have.
How it works
Nacho's model is built for the variable workload that defines education businesses: light in the summer, overwhelming in fall enrollment, and unpredictable around academic calendar shifts. Your dedicated Client Success Manager builds a Delegation Strategy Plan at the start of your engagement, mapping out exactly which tasks go to which tier of support so nothing falls through the cracks. The flexible Talent Budget means you can lean on an Executive Assistant for high-volume communication weeks and pull back during slower periods without renegotiating a contract. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month, so a quieter week doesn't have to mean your full budget goes to waste.

Education businesses operate on institutional rhythms that most business software isn't designed for. Revenue is often tied to enrollment cycles, not steady monthly recurring income, which means cash flow and staffing needs fluctuate significantly across the year. Compliance requirements: background checks, FERPA considerations for student data, state licensing for tutoring centers, add administrative layers that most small operators handle manually. Customer relationships in education are also unusually high-stakes: a missed follow-up with a prospective family or a scheduling error with a student can mean a lost enrollment and a negative word-of-mouth review. Operators who survive and grow in this space are typically the ones who build systems early: standardized intake processes, templated communications, documented SOPs, so that no single person's absence creates a crisis.
We've worked with education companies including Devorah Heitner, PhD, Educational Testing Services (ETS), Proximity Learning, and 1 others.
The model
This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.
A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.
We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.
Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. See pricing in detail.
The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions
Ready when you are
Nacho's onboarding takes about a week, and the 3-month initial commitment gives your assistant enough time to learn your systems before your next busy season. Start with a $1,000/month Talent Budget and scale from there.
