Private tutoring represents a billion-dollar industry in the United States, serving millions of students a year. For educators, a home-based tutoring business may represent a part-time job to supplement their teaching income, a flexible career choice after having their own children or retiring from the classroom, or a uniquely fulfilling way to work one-on-one with children who need specialized help. But other people with expertise in various fields, including those with business skills, can also capitalize on this trend. In this comprehensive guide, a longtime teacher and tutor shows them how to do so. * Get paid to help kids succeed * Make parents your ally * Build trust with students * Set your own schedule * Market your expertise * Become the tutor everybody wants!

Whether you're looking to teach from home, online or in a tuition centre, this book will give you the foundation you need to get started building a business that makes a difference not just in your own life, but in the lives of others.
If you are wondering how to start an online tutoring business, then you probably want to know how much it really costs to start an online tutoring business. I started my online tutoring business in January 2018, and I break down my actual start-up costs in the first few months of starting my tutoring business. If you really want to become an online tutor, it’s important to know what you can expect in terms of business expenses. Of course, you can try to do everything for free when you want to start a tutoring business from home, but it will take you a lot longer to see success. If you want to learn how to tutor online and get paid, this online tutoring business book will help you make a plan to get started.
In 2017, I made almost 6 figures through my test-prep tutoring work ($90,189, according to my tax return). In 2018, I'm on track for comfortably over 6 figures. More importantly, I choose my own work schedule, I choose what I want to work on, and my well over 100 clients have been, by and large, delighted to work with me and pay me on my own terms. Let me rewind a bit. I started trying to support myself solely with independent tutoring a couple years ago, at the beginning of 2016. Before that, I had been working as a tutor and test prep instructor with company in Singapore, and before that I worked as a part-time tutor in college. When I started, I had a fair amount of experience teaching (although it turned out I still had a lot to learn), but I had very little experience running a business. This book explains what I learned through hard work and a lot of trial-and-error. Essentially, it's a shortcut. If you read and follow the lessons of this book, you won't have to go through all the painful learning processes that I did. You can make the right decisions when you're first setting up your tutoring business, and immediately begin reaping the rewards. Now, I didn't create this book to portray myself as a guru, or to try to pretend that the whole world should become tutors. My income, although comfortable, is not anything compared to a doctor's (as my mom, who is a doctor, likes to remind me). Also, this is far from a get-rich-quick scheme: tutoring is still a job, with cliental expectations and its own forms of drudgery. Lastly, before I was a tutor, I was still academically smart, reasonably social, and a natural teacher. Those were big advantages for me out of the gate, and they won't necessarily be true for everyone. However, if you are someone like I was, interested in tutoring but having trouble making the leap to a business owner (which is really what you're trying to become), this book is for you. This book presents tutoring as a business, and tells you how to structure that business to achieve success. So, that means you'll learn how to: 1. Design a tutoring website that makes people want to hire you 2. Get potential tutoring clients to look at your website in the first place 3. Convert a tentative email from a potential student into a check 4. Structure your interactions with a student to make them happy to work with you and pay you for a long time 5. Handle paying taxes, getting a website and professional email address, finding a place to work, and all the other annoying practicalities of working on your own. Essentially, it's a collection of what I've learned to give me the success that I've had. It's what I wish I knew before I started on my journey, and the knowledge that I won through hard work and a lot of failure. I hope you find it worthwhile.Sincerely,Trevor Klee
