This guide covers business setup, insurance, the practical realities of subject and exam-board specialisation, pricing per hour versus blocks of lessons, marketing in a word-of-mouth trust market, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from informal tutoring to a steady paid diary.

Made for the work
Built around the work you do every day.
Running a private tutoring business means managing lesson schedules, parent communications, and self-employed finances alongside the actual teaching. LaunchKit gives you ready-to-use business documents, financial tracking forms, a pricing calculator, and an AI copy kit — all designed for private tutors.
The pack is shaped around day-to-day situations such as:
Lesson records held in spreadsheets and screenshots, with no per-student file when a parent asks for progress evidence or a tutoring agency requests records
Per-hour vs block vs online vs group pricing inconsistent, and underlying earn-per-hour hard to read
