Press Release Summary = From pre-school to pre-calculus, working teachers are in
high demand to utilize their education skills, as well as instructional techniques
to tutor children. With academic tutoring costs expected to reach over $4 billion
nationwide this year, and an annual predicted growth of 12 to 15 percent, now is the
perfect time for teachers to consider starting their own home-based tutor referral
business. Turning your knowledge into income has never been easier with the help of
the packages offered by Home Tutoring Business, http://www.hometutoringbusiness.com.
The successful entrepreneur matches instructors with children of all ages in need
of one-on-one sessions in the students' homes.


Press Release Body = Laurie Hurley, the President of Home Tutoring Business in
Newbury Park, California, is an educational consultant and mentor to small business
owners. Hurley offers a complete business package that guides teachers, or any
other entrepreneur who wants to start this type of business, step by step through
the entire process.

Hurley's program offers such incentives as a customized website, accounting program,
complete how-to book, and personal mentoring. Hurley's experience is what makes the
difference in the success rate of those who purchase her packages, as she has been
matching tutors with students since 2001, connecting over 150 qualified teachers
with pupils throughout Southern California, and successfully assisting hundreds of
students by matching them with dedicated professionals. During the peak school
months, Hurley's list of qualified instructors is extensive, while her clientele is
upwards of 200 kids being tutored every week.

Need a few tips in becoming successful in your own tutoring referral business? Here
are some recommendations from Lyn Perry of Awesome Advantage Tutoring Service in
Victorville, CA, one of Hurley's satisfied customers.
1) Know Your Competition: Knowing your competition just makes you look more informed
about your business and it reflects that you did your homework.
2) Shop Around For Price: When starting this business, it helps to shop around for
different prices to find the best rates, (i.e., telephone and newspaper ads, phone
services, fliers, and brochures to be printed). It is especially beneficial for
printing services, as the differences vary substantially between price quotes. Of
course, cheaper isn\'t always better, but there could be at least $100 difference
between some vendors.
3) Go with your gut feeling: As is mentioned in the manual, it is important to
listen to that little voice in your head. You can often save yourself wasted time
meeting with clients for interviews if it doesn't feel right.
4) Utilize Your Experience: This is a great business for anyone with either
teaching or tutoring experience along with a business background. None of them are
absolutely necessary, but it definitely helps to already be familiar with those
basics.
Hurley's offering of a complete business package comes with a six-figure income
potential and is a lucrative alternative to pricey franchises. With a Home Tutoring
Business, you receive all of the benefits of a franchise without the monthly
royalties, restrictions, and limitations. Buyers have a choice of three different
packages, ranging from approximately $2,500 to $8,000. Financing is available to
qualified buyers. Put your experience to work for you by helping students in your
community improve their grades!
