Where should I locate my tutoring franchise?

What kind of location is ideal for a tutoring franchise?

Because of how we structure Clara James Tutoring your preparation can be done from home and many of your lessons will take place online. The lessons which aren’t online will take place in the child’s home.

Although this will mean that you will need to travel for those lessons, you won’t have the expense of renting or buying a venue for carrying out your lessons.

Prior to lockdown I was a firm believer that lessons needed to take place in an environment where the child felt confident and at ease. This was commonly the child’s home. In addition, it also meant that the parents didn’t have the inconvenience of having to travel: most parents are busy and there are often other siblings which would have to be dragged along as well.

From the perspective of the parent looking for a tutor, this seemed like the most logical option.

However, then we had lockdown and the business had to make a quick and dramatic change.

We started offering online lessons as otherwise there wouldn’t be a business.

With the facilities available on zoom this was more practical than I initially imagined. We were still able to share the screen and annotate it meaning we were still able to play games and access all the resources relevant to that particular individual. It also meant we were able to offer a more cost-effective option to parents.

So, as we came out of lockdown it meant that we were now able to offer a two-teared approach.

Online lessons, or lessons where we would travel to the individual depending on what worked better for the family.

Offering this two-teared approach has helped the business grow and meant that we are able to offer support to more and more children and students.

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
