Tutoring Business Startup Guide

Jump into the World of Education and Teach Students

- Shelbi Wescott

Thinking of starting a tutoring business? Former or retired educators, college students, people with a specific skill set or ability, or even fast learners with an appetite for helping others can jump into the world of education with a home tutoring business. School children and their parents have more demands than ever and large class sizes often leave students of all ages (elementary through college) struggling with key concepts. If you have a basic knowledge of the sciences, mathematics, or humanities (or if you are resourceful and know how to study and brush up on concepts), tutoring could be a viable and profitable business, even if you have no prior teaching experience. Even better: your tutoring business might start with just you at the helm, but it’s a business that even offers growth and expansion.

“Business plans should include potential roadblocks and brainstorm possible solutions.”
