This is the right question, and almost nobody asks it. Tutor supply is the constraint in this business, not student demand. The package includes where they actually come from, a four-stage screening process, and the fifteen-minute teaching sample that predicts quality better than any CV. But it's worth being blunt: if you can't name three teachers today who might tutor for you, that's the thing to solve before anything else. Happy to talk through whether your network is strong enough.

No. You can run this from a community hall or library meeting room hired by the hour, term by term, and only during school terms. That means your fixed costs are a fraction of a lease and you break even at a handful of students instead of forty. Premises are something you grow into once you know which days and times actually fill — not something you commit to on day one with a personal guarantee attached.

A franchise charges tens of thousands upfront and then a share of every dollar you earn, for as long as you trade. You get their name, a fixed territory, their fee structure, and an agreement that usually prevents you operating independently for years after you leave. This is a one-off cost. Your name, your rates, your territory, your asset — and you can sell it to whoever you like. I'm happy to put the two side by side with real numbers for your situation.

Thirty days of support after handover, and live one-on-one training that's recorded so you can go back to it. Beyond that, ongoing support is available monthly if you'd rather not run the admin yourself — but it's optional, not a lock-in. Most people take it for the first term and drop it once the rhythm is established.

Yes, and I'd rather you did. Wee'll schedule a walkthrough demo and so you can look through every system yourself, or take you through it live on a screen share. No obligation, and if I think you'd be better off doing something else, I'll say so. That conversation costs you twenty minutes and it's the fastest way to find out whether this is right for you.
