Maths tutoring centre

Parents who want regular, structured maths help for their children, often booking a full term at a time.

Per-student weekly or term fees for small group classes. Several classes a day and extra tutors let you earn more than you could teaching alone.

• Strong maths teaching and lesson planning
• Hiring and managing tutors
• Marketing to local families and handling enrolments

• Check your state's screening rules for working with children (for example a Working with Children Check, or a Blue Card in Queensland) for you and every tutor you hire. Private tutoring generally needs no separate trading licence
• Lease terms, council zoning and fit-out requirements for the premises, so check with your local council
• Upfront premises costs such as the lease bond, rent in advance, fit-out, furniture and signage, which can take up much of your startup budget
• Public liability insurance and workers compensation once you hire staff
• Rent and wages to cover while enrolments build up, especially in school holidays

Startup costs are typically around $15,000 to $60,000, depending on the premises and fit-out. Upfront costs such as the lease bond, rent in advance, furniture and signage can take up much of the budget.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue of typically around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on enrolments and how many classes and tutors you run. Enrolments take time to build, so check you can cover rent and wages in the meantime.

Check your state's screening rules for working with children, such as a Working with Children Check or a Blue Card in Queensland, for you and every tutor you hire. Also check lease terms, council zoning, fit-out requirements and insurance.
