Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions cover my tutoring business costs?

Monthly costs ÷ contribution per session. $400 of software, marketing, and materials at $55 net per session is just 8 sessions — tutoring's low break-even is why it is such a strong side-to-full-time path.

What does a tutoring business cost to run?

Lean: scheduling/payment software ($20–60/month), website, materials and licenses, insurance if in-home, marketing. Most solo tutors run under $300/month all-in.

When should a tutor invest in paid marketing?

After referral systems are working — ask every satisfied family at report-card time. Paid ads make sense when your calendar has specific gaps to fill and your LTV per student ($1,500–3,000/year) is known.
