Online Tutoring and Study Centre

Parents, including families in small towns and rural areas where in-person tutoring is hard to find, and sometimes schools or community groups.

Per-session fees or monthly packages per student. Add small-group classes, exam-prep programs and extra tutors as demand grows.

• Teaching or tutoring experience
• Comfortable with video and online tools
• Clear writing and communication
• Organizing bookings and payments

• Privacy rules for children's personal information: check PIPEDA and your provincial privacy law
• Vulnerable sector police check for yourself and any tutors, as many parents will ask for it
• Business liability or professional insurance: ask a broker what covers online teaching
• Curriculum differs by province, and Quebec families may expect French-language service
• Children's attention online is limited, so shorter and more interactive sessions often work better
• Register for GST/HST once revenue passes the small supplier threshold

Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $300 to $2,500, depending on your video platform, digital whiteboard and insurance. Ask a broker what covers online teaching before you begin.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $600 to $6,000, depending on student numbers, session pricing and any tutors you add. Treat these as estimates rather than guaranteed income.

Check privacy rules for children's personal information under PIPEDA and your provincial law, plus vulnerable sector police checks for you and any tutors. Also check insurance for online teaching, and GST/HST registration once revenue passes the small supplier threshold.
