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:

Also, you will need to think about advertising your services. Word of mouth is a great way to spread the word about your business however you will need to invest some time and money in other ways too. Take flyers to local area bulletin boards, leave them at highly trafficked places in your community. Also reaching out to local teachers and professors to let them know about your tutoring business will help boost referrals for you.

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.

Tutoring has become an exploding market in the US, Canada and Europe in the last five years. With two parents working in most households, parents simply don’t have the time to help their children with school work and are turning to tutors to supplement their child’s education.

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 starting your own company, you avoid the costly fees that tutoring companies take out before paying their tutors.

Bloomberg recently reported that tutors in NYC are making up to $200 dollars per hour! Wow! In most large cities, tutors make between $50 and $70 dollars per hour. In smaller cities, you can expect to earn $30 – $50 dollars per hour, depending on the area.

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.

The possibilities and earning potential are unlimited since you are able to charge what you feel you are worth per hour and select when you want to work and who you want to work with.

The most important part of launching this business is having some basic plans in place before starting. You want to appear professional at all times and present yourself in a professional manner.

Parents will be impressed with your skills and therefore help you grow your business through endless referrals!

The good news is that even in a slow economy, parents and students will still continue to reach out for help and assistance.  Students still want to improve grades, develop great study habits and learn to their fullest capability and parents will not deny this to their children.

Parents may cut other extra activities in order to pay for tutoring as this continues to be viewed as a necessity. In addition, they may not be able to pay the high fees to work with a franchise tutoring company which often requires monthly and weekly payments, but they may choose instead to work with an independent tutor who is an expert in their field and work on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Because starting your own tutoring business allows you to grow at your own pace, work when you want, and work with whom you choose you can start thinking about starting when you want. Getting started is easy and typically has very low start up costs.

It is best to start with a goal of how you see your tutoring business before you get started.

Questions to think about are How many students do I want to have? How many hours do I want to work? How much do I want to charge? How will I successfully market and advertise in my community? Do I want to tutor online or in person? What subjects am I qualified to tutor?

It helps to have a proven outline to follow to walk you through all the initial stages of starting this business as well as train you how to best market and advertise as well as get referrals.

As you already know, tutoring is an amazing business that provides you with freedom, a great income and the fuzzy feeling that you have helped someone build their skills and confidence.

One question that comes up a lot is where is the best place to conduct your tutoring sessions. This can be approached from several different view points and there are always pros and cons to each of these.

Some tutors have their own office space so naturally they will conduct their sessions there however renting space is costly and is not the right model for all independent tutors.

From a parent’s view point, ideally they would like for a tutor to come to their home for the sake of convenience for them as well as the comfort of their child.

The cons of this for the tutor are the cost of gas and travel time in between tutoring sessions can be costly. Also you may find that your student may be distracted by other kids in the home, a ringing telephone or other interruptions in the house. (you may be distracted by these as well)

If you decide to go to your student’s home, you may want to consider asking for additional travel fees and compensation for your travel time as well as request that a parent or someone over 18 is in the house for your own safety and security.

Libraries are ideal for several reasons. They are a safe, neutral spot to meet and your liability concerns are lessened since they are a public building. You can schedule students back to back so that you have no down time in terms of driving, waiting or spending excess money in gas. Libraries are typically quiet and your student is able to concentrate. The cons are that some parents may not want to drive and wait for their child depending on where they live in relation to the library.

Tutoring in your home has definite pros and cons. The pros are that the tutor does not need to travel at all. You can stack your sessions back to back to avoid down time and if you do have a no-show, you haven’t had to travel and can continue to do what you would normally do at home.

The cons are that as the tutor, you may find yourself distracted by phones or family members or pets. Your student may also be distracted by these things. There is also the issue of liability. Do you have insurance to cover operating a business out of your home? Will the parent or guardian over 18 be willing to stay for the session? Do you need to purchase additional liability insurance to cover your tutoring business? These are just a few of the questions you will want to review before conducting tutoring sessions out of your home.

Last but not least is tutoring the student in their study hall at their school. Many schools have libraries or ‘tutor rooms’ that you can use during the student’s study hall period. This is convenient because it doesn’t interfere with normal tutoring hours as it is done during school hours and you are in a safe, public environment where your student is comfortable and the parent does not have to drive them to or from a different location.

The great part of choosing a location is the tutor can decide what is the right model for them!
