Home Schooling – a big part of in-home tutoring

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Received a call today from one of my first HTB buyers in New Jersey. She had a request today from one of her clients who wants her to set up an entire home schooling program for her daughter. This is the first such call she has received. Surprising to me, since many of my clients here in California are home schooled. So, we reviewed what she could do to assist the family. Some families want the tutor broker to fill out the required paperwork, choose the curriculum for the student and, of course, provide all the tutors. Other families (most of my clients) have the curriculum and just want tutors for math and/or science. Some request tutors for English/Language Arts. Whatever my clients request, home schoolers are perfect candidates for in-home tutoring and a wonderful market to try to penetrate.

I personally have been assisting home school families for ten years, so it’s easy for me to give direction to my HTB buyers. If you are considering an HTB, do some research in your area and find out if there are home school associations. They are usually very active in their communities and welcome outside resources.
