How to Earn Top Marks in the Tutoring Business

How to Earn Top Marks in the Tutoring Business

1. Have a vision. Founder Eileen Huntington, while working as a teacher, saw students struggle with basic writing, reading, and math skills. She wanted to make a difference—and has. Franchise owners enjoy that same emotional reward.

2. Tap an excellent track record: The company started strong and has stayed strong. Established in 1977, Huntington Learning Center grew steadily. By 1985, it had established 18 locations in the New York metropolitan area. Today it has more than 300 locations nationwide.

3. Enjoy repeat business: Huntington tutors students from kindergarten through high school. During those years, they’re likely to need help with different subjects and various standardized tests.

4. Be confident of success: Huntington students increase one or more grade levels in reading and math, respectively, after three months.

5. Defy economic downturns: The New York Times labeled tutoring “immune to recession” because parents always make spending on kids’ education a top priority. During its 42-year history, Huntington has weathered multiple recessions.
