How Easy is Home Tutoring Agency to Start Up
Starting up is relatively straightforward and won’t involve you having to spend oodles of cash before you see a return on your investment. Here’s a brief outline of what’s involved:
1. Decide to start your own home-based tutoring agency.
2. Carry out some initial market research which should include checking out what is already available in your neighbourhood, speaking to head teachers at local schools, and checking notices in your local paper, libraries, school noticeboards, and so on.
3. Decide on a name for your business. Never underestimate the pulling power of a well thought-out name. Remember, you’re selling private one-to-one education. So you really need a name that’s going to create an image of a quality, trusting learning environment.
4. From your initial research you should get an idea of how much to charge per hour. Your earnings with this business will be similar to those of any other agency which supplies staff or labour. For example, a recruitment agency will charge a percentage of a staff member’s salary for every hour they work in a business on a temporary contract. When deciding on a rate for your tutors, you’ll need to take into account an attractive enough hourly rate for them, plus any travelling expenses, plus your commission on every hour they work. And your commission will not simply be profits in your bank account. From this commission, you’ll need to cover advertising costs (which can be relatively high) as well as administration costs, for example taking and making bookings for tutors, running a tutoring schedule, sending out information packs on your service, and so on. All of these costs must be covered before you can make any profit.
