Starting
A Tutoring Business

So, starting a tutoring business has captured your entrepreneurial spirit.

Now What?

See the six powerful decisions you now must make to achieve significant income:

1. How serious are you?

2. Will your home tutoring business be offline or online based?

3. What are your tutoring business start-up costs?>

4. What's your "Marketing I Q?"

5. How much administrative, client prospecting, one-on-one (face-to-face), travel and client nurturing time are you willing to spend in starting a tutoring business?

6. What is, by far, the best financial reward for your time invested?

Forget all the "fluff" that's on the Internet about:

• How to be a private tutor?
• How to be a good tutor?
• What are the characteristics of a good tutor?
• Tutoring Dos. Tutoring Don'ts.
• Do You need to be a certified tutor?
• The 4 or 5 or 10-ways to help kids with homework.
• The 10-steps to being a great tutor.
• How to create an effective learning environment as a home tutor?
• How to prove that children are "safe" with you as a tutor?
• Steps to take to prove that you're a great tutor.

Just keep looking on the Internet to find more "filler than truth" about how to start a tutoring business. Most topical pages found concerning starting a tutoring business are less than informative.

Moreover, most topics above have little to do with the nuts and bolts of starting a tutoring business.

So, here's the home tutoring low-down.

The Bottom Line

You're here because

• you have smarts,
• you want to earn some money
• and you believe you have what it takes to help others by tutoring them.
• Period!

Now, you want to know "how to do it!"

First Things First

Starting a home-based tutoring business is not easy, BUT it can be simple.

You’re confident in your abilities.

Now, you just want to be pointed in the right direction so you may explore your options.

You have two home tutoring business choices:

1. Starting a tutoring business OFFLINE
2. Starting a tutoring business ONLINE

Starting a Tutoring Business OFFLINE

Some entrepreneurs seem to believe that an offline business opportunity achieves better results than a primarily online-run business.

It may. It may not.

However, in any offline tutoring business, there is a huge amount of what is called “visitation marketing” that you will need to under take to achieve your desired result.

This means that essentially, to market your tutoring service, you will need to establish a host of relationships with public and private school teachers, counselors and mental health professionals.

In addition, there is a host of administrative and educational activities that you will need to setup and oversee. Automating these tasks is not necessarily easy to accomplish.

These tasks include, but not limited to:

• Sending out prospecting letters to identified sources with hand-written follow-up thank you notes
• Scheduling, changing scheduled meeting times when students/parents request and rescheduling canceled tutoring appointments
• Lesson plans for each student prior to each meeting
• Writing an after-each-tutoring-session summary of each session and sending this to each student’s parents
• Traveling time to each student’s home or creating individualized learning environments in your home
• Creating multiple forms and keeping a ton of records on each student’s progress, records for the three levels of government, records for your CPA, etc., etc.

In addition, just because you have an offline home tutoring business, doesn’t mean that you will not have to develop a website.

You MUST, but it does not have to be as extensive as the website you would need for an online-only tutoring home business.

To cut through all of this and much more, it may be wise to subscribe to a Starting a Tutoring Business educational site.

This will lighten your load dramatically, provide a step-by-step business-starting road map, lessen your mistakes and prevent you from re-inventing-the-wheel, which may save you loads of valuable and scarce time and prevent wasting your money.

An internationally recognized authority on starting a home tutoring service offline is Kasey Hammond.

Her 56-page ebook, audio interview, webinar, professional member’s forum and provision of a working website for you is of dramatic value to you.

Her tiny fee of $4.95 introduction trial and only $17 a month thereafter is a steal by any measurement.

For far less than what a student would pay you for one session, you will have the knowledge in-hand to start and grow your own in home tutoring business.

Please take note of her "member’s only" tutoring forum. Yes indeed, a most valuable resource.

Here, her clients from around the world—and you too—interact online, sharing successful tips and asking for help with your business and receiving insight from the experience of others.

This professional interaction is worth a ton more than $17 per month!

(And you may cancel at any time for no reason, if you believe Kasey does not over-deliver in her service.)

The truth is, that Kasey has many, many long-term clients.

Your small investment of $4.95 is certainly worth it to check out her highly recommended program. It is recognized as the #1 tutoring ebook on the Web.

Starting a Tutoring Business ONLINE

For entrepreneurs who are seriously thinking about starting, marketing and growing a home tutoring service, please, please explore the huge benefits of doing so online.

This means that all your marketing and tutoring will be online. It will truly be a home-based business with no traveling and no visitation marketing, unless you choose to do so.

What’s more, pre-sold, focused tutoring clients will be contacting you first (and not the other way around).

The #1 benefit of starting a home tutoring service online is that you can make significant dollars by letting pre-programmed automated tasks do much of the work for you.

Yes, the ongoing investment costs slightly more than developing an offline tutoring at home business, but your life is simpler and the opportunity of success are dramatically increased.

Your in home tutoring business conducted online will provide you the opportunity to be sought after and may place you in a position of hiring tutors to work with you or turning clients away.

Now, isn’t that a happy thought!

The bottom line is this: “The world is your market.”

You will develop your appeal to anyone, anywhere who speaks your native language.

All your tutoring will be done online.

So, How Do You Do This?

There are many websites promoting their method of online tutoring. Some are good. Some a pure scams.

BUT ONE PROGRAM is PURE GOLD!

How Golden?

• A+ Better Business Bureau Rating
• Personalized tutor practice training program (40 to 80 hrs) to make you successful.

  This proven step-by-step program consists of more than 19 videos and handouts. Applying your dedicated passion will ensure your success.

• They create for you a virtual classroom:

  you and your student can easily send files back and forth,

  2-way voice communication just like you’re on the telephone,

  a real-time whiteboard that allows both you and your student to draw or type in information in any color you wish,

  and your entire tutoring session can be printed out so your student (and you) don’t have to waste time taking notes.

  This creates a positive learning experience and places you “far ahead” of your tutoring competition.

• They create an initial website designed to get you top positions for your local area in Google, Yahoo and Bing.

  Plus they assist you with additional keyword searches so you may add your own personalized web pages to the site.

The above list of tutoring success help only scratches the surface of how this company is dedicated to your profitable home tutoring business.

The Cost of Starting a Tutoring Business ONLINE

Your investment in starting a tutoring business online, as mentioned above, costs a little more money initially than that of starting a tutoring business offline.

But, when you factor in your marketing time, your business administrative time, gas and automobile expenses that you would spend developing your offline business, the costs are really about the same.

Starting a Tutoring Business Summary

1. There is a ton of “fluff” to be found on the Internet about the tutoring at home business. Some of it is good. Most of it is not.
2. You found this site because you’re smart, want to make some money in the tutoring business and you want to help others achieve all they can be.

   You just want options.
