How to start your own tutoring company in 2024 (online + at home)

I own an Old Schoolhouse My question is that would it be best to open a Trade school or to Rent it out hourly to Tutors that do not want to do on line tutoring.

Why would you do that? 😢 Thanks

I wanna be one a math tutor please help me start!!

How much could we delegate this business? what happen when we have a lot of customers? When hiring how much should we pay?

Thank you so much for this. Can you do a step by step tutorial please?

Lots of necessary things in one video.

I started my online tutoring for english classes to spain people online. i live in India and one of my friend (lives in spain)gives me the spanish people contact who ever needs english classes and I shall teach them. We prepared an AD and my friend sent it to his native people. I got a student but he quit after one class.I came across your master class and i have signed in . please kidly reply what shall i make the next move and how will your masterclass can be helpful?

Do you need to pay TAX with your tutoring company ?

My problem in pricing is that in my country we suffer economically from the increasing in prices in everything but parents do the exception in prices for tutoring, they think that we are aliens 😂and not living in the same country, they start complaining for the prices, you can read about this we are in Syria so imagine that they give for an hour less than a dollar!
They start say Ooh that's too much..
In this case what can I do? and how will I charge them more?
If I am teaching one in one but more than one hour because I am teaching for siblings, would that effect my pricing too?
Thanks so much

This is was SUPER helpful, I’ve been wanting to start a tutoring busing for quite some time now and honestly, even after writing my plan out, these were still some of the burning questions I had especially about the free trials/sessions so thank you so much, I’ll be looking into the Free MasterClass

How do you go about hiring the right tutors so that you don't hire some woman that's going to get you sued because she ends up sleeping with the students. Or how do you insulate your self from the legal actions

I don't know why but every time you snap your fingers, I get nervous and my eyes get big. lol childhood flashback.
Love your content and information.

Hi! I am an online arts tutor working through a company. I am looking to become more independent. It’s a journey and there is a lot to learn. Thanks, Lynda

Hello. Do you have any videos on how to do a lesson plan? xx

Very impressive bio. For your inquiry about self-limiting beliefs, I know one of mine is about old tapes that I haven’t been able to change, being told I couldn’t run my own business. That being said I am trying to start a business in videography. Recording and editing in 6K.
Meanwhile I have a BA in math and find if you don’t use it, it gets very rusty, and a MA in Transformational Leadership. ADHD is also a challenge through all of this.

I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel. Not sure if it’s something to pursue at this time because being a 7 on the enneagram, I have a lot of irons in the fire and currently feeling overwhelmed. Yet still going to hold this idea in the background.

I've just subscribed. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions in the comments sometimes.

Nailed it completely: ‘ A fool knows the price of everything and the value of nothing’ Always be expensive because that means quality . Then you attract really good committed clients.

Can you share the math of 26 students in a year yielding $52,000 a year? Thank you!

Business :
---start free
---word of mouth to your friends and family... They could tell others.

✅ Leverage local communities
E.g libraries e.t.c, anywhere you can deposit.

🖋️ Online... Facebook groups e.t.c

✅Pricing
One on one

it would be nice if you can add time stamps in your future video, thanks for the useful info though!

My limiting mindset is how the education sector in aus has treated me and I’ve lost all confidence in classroom teaching. I’m over it.

I have the confidence and value I'm just concerned alot of the potential leads I am talking to are from poor countries and can't afford the lessons

My self limiting belief is that I need to learn more before I can charge more formy services

Very cool video! i also want to add that if you teach minors, when someone pays for them you need a relationship wit sponsor and student both. I think that customer experience is important here too. For me helps have a contract+tutoring summary report each month - i take mine from etsy, from cortadowitch shop.

Hi Im Sandy from India...my self limiting beliefs regards to pricing are these parents who weigh yr potential onli if yr a teacher working in a school thy doubt a teachers standard without acknowledging his or her worth and expertise n Indian parents love it when u give loads of homework thy feel that makes a great coaching class..bargaining is in their blood😅n im shocked when giving a good foundation with a reputed tutor is compromised with bargaining 😂..they shud learn by now that education is an investment for the future ❤

i think trial sessions only make sense when you sign long term contracts, as is lowers the entering barrier, but when you're booked solid anyway, you have no need to do it

I have tutored math and science for many years and I think a tutoring business is not easy to establish full-time. Unless you live somewhere where people have money and willing to pay and there is plenty of demand. Where I live there are too many tutors and parents are just not willing to pay anything more than $25 an hour. I'd like to learn more about marketing a tutoring business...

I really appreciate this video because I went through this when I was a private tutor in China. At the time, I moved my day job from teaching in public/private schools to teaching at a prestigious university in Beijing. I felt embarrassed to raise my price but eventually I recalled how many Harvard graduates successfully marketed themselves because they graduated from Harvard. I solved the problem by changing the way that I charged to a subscription. Students paid a fixed cost for a certain number of classes in a month. I allowed for them to miss 1-2 classes but didn’t refund their money if they missed. This meant they were responsible for making sure they were in class because they paid for it regardless. Some of the perks that I was able to give them was bonus classes and group outings where I invited all of my students to go network/engage in fun activities at a park. My tutoring income quickly outpaced my day job. I was able to start turning down students who didn’t have the mindset that would allow me to help them improve. I would strongly suggest that tutors make a subscription package and not charge based upon the hourly rate.

Hi Lisa, I have a question, do you use an app to keep your schedule well organized? Which one? Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for the wonderful video! Really informative

Love this video. How do we contact you professionally?

If you are hiring please consider I'm i have a TEFL certification

Youre really helping me out. I'll watch more of your videos and learn more about tutoring business. Thank you so much for making this such helping videos❤

Im working on my tutoring business also and its one of my concern. I want to increase the class price but somehome this fear keeps coming to me. If people not coming to me because of the price. But im providing them with good service, even gave them ebook for free😂

Hey! Lisa! Thank you very much for this information. Do you have any videos about strategies to get more students? For example a webinar, or a free class, etc. I am a little bit lost on this. At the moment I am offering a free class to get more students, but I don´t know if a webinar would be better. I´d really appreciate your help.

I have been a teacher for over 25 years with over 5 years as the Reading Specialist in a private school. I do summer and after school tutoring with kids who need the extra help with reading. I am not sure that I could ever make it into a full time business unless I work everyday from 3:30pm to like 7:00 pm and that doesn’t sound fun, or like enough time to make good money.

Great video, thanks!

im 14, and want to start tutoring math to 5th and 6th graders. the problem im having is that how do i market my 'business', cause as you can see im wayy too young for any parent to trust me with their child. and although my fee is very low compared to anyone else, it still seems like a bit of a problem. i mainly want to attract students from towns where there arent any tuitions, because im gonna do it online obviously, so it wont be a problem. also, as my fee is so little, its easily affordable by anyone. now all i need is a way to GET to those students and pitch my business. any ideas anyone?

Hi lisa how do you open ur own tsaching company do you have the lessons on ur dash board

I enjoyed your video. I Just have a question to ask.
I am just starting my online tutoring business. I chose teaching because I love it. I made my first class free but didn't get a good turnout. I tried again by informing my friends ( the first one I made an ad). This didn't turnout well also, but got people asking me questions and I have been getting good reply still, I have not gotten any students. It makes me feel worried sometimes trying to check where I did something wrong.
Please, can you help me by telling me what you see me do wrong?

Great video

Pricing is about how much you can sell yourself and often combined with supply and demand

Hello Lisa, I really enjoyed your video. I am an online teacher working hard on them working many hours for little pay. I am looking to do something different ware I could gain more financially for my hard work I put in. Starting my own tutoring business is great idea I never realized before. Great video Lisa:)

Hello Lisa, thanks for this encouraging video. I would say that my limitations are the prices. I get alot of interested parents that want their kids to partake in online lessons but immediately I tell them the amount; they zoom off. What can I do?

My self limiting beliefs is not knowing where to run the tutoring business. My house is too far out of town.

I would take the pricing of an hour based on the experience and the level you are at. At the moment I charge £20 per hour. When I first started, it was £15 for 2 hours. I didn't have experience in this area and I was only 17 when I started (4 years ago). I started small, 1 student for 6 months and then I used to have 4. At the moment altogether I have 7 students throughout the week, and hoping to get 4 more :). This job is great as a part time during university especially. For the free consultation part, the first session is totally free, I give the students a test and get to know them better. It worked. Now I'm trying to keep up with the social media posts as that's what I'm laking at :)). A great video!!!

How do you promote your tutoring business in coffee shops ? they don't have listings at Peets. Do you randomly approach students sitting ? any more tips on free local ways to find students (university students) ? my college does not have a ton of math classes ( what I tutor )

thanks for the advices

I am a high school math teacher and have done 1-1 private tutoring for the last 7 years but I don't have enough hours in the day any more (outside of teaching fulltime) to offer enough tutoring to make a significant amount. Moving to the next step of formalizing a business, hiring tutors and scaling has felt out of my reach. (my limiting belief)
