The Perfect Time To Start Your Tutoring Business

One of the best parts of starting a tutoring business is tutoring will never go out of demand.

Parents are constantly on the lookout for a qualified teacher to tutor their child. Whether it’s for remediation or enrichment, the possibilities are endless for you as a tutoring business owner. As a classroom teacher, you have a wide range of students to choose from to get your business off the ground. You know I’m a big fan of asking former students to be your tutoring clients. If you want the exact email template I use, read this blog post.

The perfect time to start your tutoring business is before school is out

The truth is you can start your tutoring business anytime. The most ideal time is a few months before school is out for the summer. Many parents will be looking for extra help and enrichment for their kids over the summer. In my experience, parents might not even know they want the help until you reach out to them. When you first start your business, you might feel like you’re being salesy or pushy if you email parents. I promise you aren’t! If you’re a classroom teacher, chances are, former parents will LOVE hearing from you. They’ll be chomping at the bit to work with you again.

Start by sending former students’ parents an email letting them know about your business

I mentioned this earlier, so go ahead and grab this email template from my blog post How To Get Your First Tutoring Client. Even if you’re a veteran tutoring business owner, the template is a tried and true method to get new clients anytime of year. The email template provides a personal touch that lets the parent know you remember details about their child, explains your business method and model and pitches yourself to them to build your client list. If you’re not willing to talk about your business, no one else will. You have to be your own hype person and part of that means sending emails to people you already know and talking about your tutoring business on social media.

Talk about your tutoring business on social media every day

What if I told you that the more you talk about your business, the faster it will grow? One of the main reasons tutors aren’t getting clients is because they’re afraid of being salesy so they assume that having a clickable link to sign up for tutoring will automatically get them more clients. You might get a client here and there from that method, but those clients will likely be people who already know you. You have to start talking about your tutoring business every day on social media. This can be with testimonials, solving problems for your ideal client, talking about what a tutoring session looks like. The possibilities are endless! That’s why I created Tutorpreneur Promo Kit®, a mini course to take the guesswork out of posting on social media. With over 25 editable templates and lessons on how to use them, you’ll start getting noticed right away! It’s my lowest priced offer with high value so you can make a splash right out the gate with your tutoring business. Click here to get all the details and start building your tutoring client list!
