Some tutors get their start while in college. Others, whether retired teachers, home-school parents or stay-at-home moms, work for a Tutoring company. If you are willing to market, contract, collect payments and provide a tutoring space, you can open your own tutoring business. In this case you name your price, charging by the session or by the hour.

Collect payment directly from the parents at each visit or once per month, according to your agreement.
