Of course Shilpa!
To start, sign up for my How To Start An Online Tutoring Business report on the right side of this site. When you have questions, post them here.
I help tutors start their own online tutoring business after running 3 successful online tutoring companies since 2003. Others on this forum are working as online tutors + the clients I have at TutorFi.com.
Writing using the usb pen is something you'll get used to in time. Depending on the details of the subject you are tutoring, you might not have to use the usb pen at all. With any online whiteboard, you always have the option to use the mouse or t...
The key to acquiring a long term client is to show that you care by consulting with the parent on a weekly - biweekly basis. Also, you must show the student that you care and most importantly that you believe in their abilities to overcome any aca...
I don't understand your point above.
Are you saying that you are going to offer contracts? If so, what do you mean by "My aim is not for parents to walk away, but for them to have an option"?
What option are you referring to?
Testing is always the best option.
It's just my opinion that you might want to focus on maintaining your clients as opposed to having high turn over and allowing your clients to walk away from your online tutoring program. Of course they can if t...
That is not true based on my experience. Plus, you'll lose some parents right off the bat, because they won't want to sign it. If you provide an excellent service and actually the parent(s) to consult about their child's learning needs, you won't ...

I liek yourself am a certified teacher in the states. I hired a webmaster to create a professional looking online tutoring site. I have also subscibed to your publication on how to start an online tutoring business. I have read through a few articles and they are really helpful and informative. I have read through some of the board and I see you mentioned Vyew as a online whiteboard service. I sigend up for Vyew and spoke to customer service rep (days after I requested help btw) about the services. I find the website hard to navigate. I have question for you how do you upload a webpage on that site. Also does the moderateor have to invite the student and teacher through email everytime it is time for tutoring? Is there an automatic set up that an owner (moderator) can do to schedule classes? Im confused by this site. Do they have good customer support, meaning if you pay do they contact you right away if there is a problem? ALso can a session be recorded and played back to the student at a later date? Please get back to me Sorry for any misspellings:)

RESULTS ORIENTED MENTOR!! said… - Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply. Few things are not very clear which I will ask later.
However, you have not replied to my last question and that is:
If a Tutor just makes about $100 or a little more, how can the tutor
pay you $97 towards your fee?
Please do let me know this.
Regards,

- Hi Scott,
I have a couple of questions to you and it would be really helpful if you kindly answer them for me:
Following are my few questions:
1. Once a tutor finishes his/her six weeks of Training Program, he/she would
be ready to kick start Online Tutoring, my question is Where would they
get students from? Do you have any plan to advertise for the tutors in the
US?
2. I am sure you have multiple Tutors as your members, how would you
ensure they all of the Tutors get students?
3. How do you intend to advertise for the International tutors, like me, in the
US?
4. I have seen the Tutor Portal. Apart from scheduling sessions, what are
the other benefits would you provide to your members?
5. Would you also provide the Whiteboard for the tutors to teach their
students?
6. If a Tutor just makes about $100 or a little more, how can the tutor
pay you $97 towards your fee?
I would really appreciate if you kindly answer the above questions in the point
form so that I can relate all the answers to their corresponding questions.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Saurrish

- Dear Scott,
Hope all is going good at your end. I have got your mail regarding Gretchen Touchard. You wrote that she would be calling up all the TutorFi members. Do you mean Phone Call? Would she also make a phone call to me since I am from India?
Please let me know.
