How to Run a Tutoring Program

Running a tutoring program can be a little more complex. You may want to consider other tutors to work for you. If you decide to do this you will need to look into insurance that will cover not only yourself but also your employees or contractors.

You will also want to ensure your tutors will supply a detailed report of their tutoring session to both you and the client so you can all be on the same page about what took place during the tutoring session.

What Do I Charge for Tutoring?

As I have discussed in earlier posts the beauty of owning your own tutoring business is that you can set your rate and control who you want to work with each day. What you decide to charge for tutoring is up to you.  You may want to think about whether you wish to charge per session or per hour. If you charge per session then you can determine the length of a session (45 minutes, 55 minutes, etc).

Making a few calls to other tutors to get an idea of what they are asking to be sure you are in the correct range. Geographical location and subject matter also play a large part into this.  If you are tutoring a very basic subject you may not command as high a rate as someone who is tutoring a higher level class.

How Do I Begin My Own Tutoring Business?

There are many tutoring franchises and companies out there, but it truly is a fairly easy industry to jump into and start marketing your own tutoring company. By beginning your own tutoring company you avoid the costly fees that tutoring companies take out before paying their tutors.

To begin a tutoring business you will want to think about marketing and advertising.  Marketing is fairly inexpensive and there are even free tools that you can use to immediately launch your business and start advertising. Typically students already have their own textbooks and therefore you don’t need to purchase materials. The internet is a great tool to find supplemental worksheets to use during your sessions.

The best part about having your own tutoring business is that you get to meet new people, help a child succeed and make a great living at the same time. You can run this business out of your house if you choose or meet students in a public library or coffee house.

Teachers and schools are a great source of referrals and once they get to know you will easily give out your name to potential customers.  As challenges continue to grow in education, the need for a personalized tutor continues to grow.  With many households having two working parents and the stress of day to day life, parents are happily paying tutors to work one on one with their children to ensure success in their academic studies.

Tutors who are enthusiastic about the subject they are  tutoring will find they will succeed and have parents and teachers begging them to work with their students!

What is the Average Hourly Rate for a Tutor and What Do I Charge for Tutoring?

The average hourly rate for a tutor can vary dramatically depending on geographic location, subject being tutored and class size.  In smaller cities and towns, some tutors may charge on the lower end ($20 – $25 per hour) whereas in New York City some tutors earn as much as $200 per hour!

If you are tutoring a more basic subject you might not earn as much as a specialized tutor who might tutor AP and higher level subjects.  If you are doing a small group instruction then you may charge slightly less per student however overall you will be earning a higher rate due to having 3 or 4 students in one session.

The great part about having your own business is that you determine your hourly rate and choose who you want to work with each day!  For more information on the hourly rates for a tutor and how to charge for tutoring go to:

How To Be a Good Tutor

A common question is how can I be a good tutor?  Chances are if you are asking this question then you already are on your way!  To be a good tutor all you need is patience, kindness and the ability to listen.  Also knowledge in your subject matter is key!

A good place to start when working with a new student is to ask them questions about where they are struggling, what do they find the most difficult.  On the flip side, ask them what subjects they do like and find easier – it may be that your approach in teaching them can be geared towards subjects they find easier.  For example if you are tutoring a language and the student excels in math, you can approach learning grammar structures more like a math problem instead of making it more language based.

Most important is to remember to have fun – students will want to come back if they find your sessions helpful as well as enjoyable.
