What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
I would like advice from other tutors about:
What knowledge I need to do the job well and what parents are likely to expect of me. Where to access information such as current grading systems and preferred teaching methods. How much work I am likely to get in an average week and how long it takes to build up a client base. How best to get new clients; where to advertise, whether agencies are worth using and if so which ones. Any pitfalls to watch out for.
About my venture
I am hoping to become a self-employed home tutor within the next few months, initially teaching maths but later branching out to sciences and perhaps other subjects. I have expertise in my subject matter but little knowledge of how to run a tutoring business. I would like to speak to someone who is currently, or has recently been a home tutor, ideally one in the UK teaching national curriculum subjects, to find out the practicalities of the job.
