Realistically, is a tutoring business profitable?

YES!! The amount of money you make is truly up to you. Tutoring prices vary between $40-$80 per hour, depending on your market. The ATS Tutoring Operations Franchise Manual will guide you in researching your market, setting your prices and deciding what to pay your tutors. As a home business your overhead costs are minimal.

In virtually every community there are many types of tutoring services. However, there are few, if ANY, in-home tutoring services that provide quality services like The ATS model. ATS helps you to carefully match qualified tutors with students in grades K-12, and ATS provides a design that allows for every student to receive one-on-one attention. The key to ATS success is that it has found a niche that is invaluable to parents trying to assist their children do better in school. Parents love the convenience of the same tutor coming to their home and supporting their children’s needs in every academic way. This has proven to be a precious and essential service for everyone involved.

Do I need to be a licensed teacher in order to open my own tutoring business?

No. Owning your own business simply means you need to be motivated and believe in your company. The structure of the clinic in The ATS Franchise Manual is set up in the following two ways. Your company can follow one or both structures– it’s up to you!

1) If you choose to teach, you may do some or all of the tutoring. This simply means that you keep the full payment from each of your clients. In addition, you can contract other tutors who are experts in their field to meet with additional students and parents. Matching families and tutors doesn’t require a license, it requires a keen sense of compatibility and individual needs.

2) If you choose not to teach, you would then contract tutors for all of your students. As an owner you will be managing the day-to-day operations of your tutoring company. You are the first impression a client sees, as well as the organizer and supporter for each of your families.

Do I provide curriculum other than homework support?

Your home based tutoring business can be based solely on homework help, or solely on specialized programs. A mixture of both is best for you to be able to cover any student need, but you can succeed just having one or the other.

If it is required that a specialized program be used, The ATS Tutoring Operations Franchise Manual will list educational publishers, help you choose quality programs, as well as find the best deals on all texts and materials.
