Week-by-Week Launch Plan (Days 1–30)

Week-by-Week Launch Plan (Days 1–30)

Week-by-Week Launch Plan (Days 1–30)

Week 1 - Niche, offer, and setup (Days 1–7)

Pick one niche you can teach well and enjoy. Examples: high school Algebra II, AP Biology, SAT Reading, English writing, ESL.
Define your one-line offer: “I help 9–12 graders raise Algebra II grades from C to B in 6 weeks.”

Decide your format. Online tutoring, in-person, or evidence-based tutoring pods (2–4 students).
Create two packages:

  • Starter: 4 × 60-min sessions + progress check.

  • Intensive: 8 × 60-min sessions + quiz review + parent summary.

Policies (write once): cancellations (24 hours), payment due (before session), make-ups (within 7 days), communication (email/Text).

Set your stack (fast wins):

  • Scheduling & billing: Use a single tool to book, invoice, and track payments → /features/scheduling-billing.

  • Lesson content: Slides, Google Docs, PDF.

  • Video & whiteboard: Zoom + a simple board.

  • Assessment support: Auto-generate quick quizzes to check understanding → /features/ai-quiz-generator.

Subtle note: Many tutors use VEGA AI for two jobs that eat time - generating practice questions and handling scheduling/billing—so they spend more minutes teaching, fewer on admin.

Week 2 - Pricing, scripts, and first outreach (Days 8–14)

Pricing that fits your market

Level

Typical hourly range (USD)

When to charge more

Elementary/Middle

$25–$45

Special needs, bilingual support

High school core

$35–$60

Honors/AP, test weeks

Test prep (SAT/ACT/GRE)

$50–$120

Proven score gains

Group pod (2–4 students)

1.5× solo rate

Example: $60 solo → $90 pod

Add travel (if in-person) and a first-time package discount (10%). Keep it simple.

Outreach scripts (copy/paste)

  1. Parent DM (local groups)

“Hi! I tutor Algebra II for 9–12 graders. I run 60-min sessions with short quizzes, and parents get a simple progress note each week. I have 2 evening slots open this month. Want details?”

  1. Student DM (high school/college)

Hey-if you want a quick grade bump in [subject], I’m doing 4-session sprints. Short lessons, a custom quiz, and study plan. First session is a low-cost diagnostic. Want the link?”

  1. Referral ask (past classmates/teachers)


    “I’m starting a small tutoring service for [niche]. If a student needs help before exams, can I send them a booking link? I’ll take great care and share progress notes.”


  2. Discovery call flow (10 minutes)

Goal → current grade/test date → two pain points → schedule/availability → offer package → send link and policy.

Week 3 -Scheduling and your first three clients (Days 15–21)

Block your calendar for 6–10 hours per week: 2 weekdays (evenings) + 1 weekend block.
Use pods when content is similar (e.g., Algebra problem-solving). You earn more without extra hours.

Mini website or profile:

  • One page: niche, results you target, packages, testimonials (when you have them), Book Now link.

  • Add a simple FAQ: rates, location/online, cancellation policy.

Get the first three clients:

  • Post in two local parent groups and one alumni network.

  • Message five teachers/counselors.

  • Claim a profile on one marketplace (Wyzant/Upwork) for early leads; move clients to your own system later.

  • Name + one-line offer.


    Pick something you can say in five seconds.
    Example: “Math Lift -I help grades 8–12 jump a letter grade in 6 weeks.”


  • Two colors + one font.


    Choose one dark (text) and one accent (buttons). Keep it simple so everything matches.
    Example: Navy + teal, system font (Inter/Arial).


  • Headshot that feels friendly.


    Face in natural light, neutral background, slight smile. This builds trust fast on profiles and flyers.


  • Tiny template set


    • Invoice with date, session count, and payment link.

    • Policy (cancellations, late arrivals, refunds).

    • Progress note (1 win, 1 focus, next step).

    • Testimonial request (2 lines + permission to use first name).


  • “Start tutoring” sticky note by your desk.


    Mic check • Quiet room • Whiteboard open • Timer ready • Water nearby.
    A 10-second checklist prevents most tech hiccups.

Safety, trust, and simple compliance

  • See-through sessions.


    If in person, meet in a public space or with a parent at home. Online, keep the door open policy.


  • Put decisions in writing.


    Confirm time, price, and homework on email or text after calls. It avoids confusion later.


  • Basic vetting if you travel.


    A low-cost background check and proof of insurance can reassure families and schools.


  • Promise the process, not the outcome.


    Don’t guarantee admissions or score jumps. Promise clear goals, regular feedback, and honest updates.

Session resources: make learning stick

  • Short, targeted quizzes.


    End each lesson with 5 quick questions on today’s skill. It shows gaps immediately and guides the next session.


  • Spaced practice for high schoolers.


    Teach a 2-1-0 schedule: review 2 days later, then 1 week later, then move on if solid. Small repeats beat marathon cramming.


  • Error log → warm-ups.


    Keep a running list of common mistakes (your “error bank”). Start the next session with 2–3 of those as warm-ups so progress is visible.


  • One living notes doc per student.


    Write steps in the student’s words, paste quiz items and answers, and highlight “things to say out loud.” It becomes their study guide.

Save weeks of manual work—generate complete syllabus, question banks, and assessments in minutes with VEGA AI.

FAQS

  1. How many hours per week should I start with?

    Six to ten hours per week is sustainable for a tutoring side hustle while you work full time elsewhere.


  2. Do I need a certification?

    No. Clear policies, great communication, and results matter more. Credentials help trust.


  3. What should I charge?

    Use the table above. Start mid-range; raise for specialty topics or rush demand.


  4. How do I keep parents happy?

    Send a short progress note every week. Be on time. Show a plan.

Copy-ready assets

  1. First Facebook/WhatsApp post:

    “I’m opening two spots for online tutoring in [subject] for [grade range]. 60-min sessions, weekly quiz, simple parent update. DM ‘INFO’ and I’ll send the booking link.”


  2. Review request after 4th session:

    “Hi [Name], could you share 1–2 lines on what changed since we started? It helps other families decide quickly. Thanks for trusting me with [Student]’s learning.”


  3. Referral line for teachers/counselors:

    “If a student struggles with [topic], I can start with a diagnostic this week and share a progress note back to you.”

What makes VEGA AI useful

You don’t need a huge “tutoring business” stack. But two jobs slow new tutors down: admin and assessments.
VEGA AI keeps both light-clients book and pay in one place, and you can generate quizzes and practice from your notes in minutes. That way, each tutoring service hour stays focused on teaching, not typing.

Conclusion

Tutoring as a side works when you keep it simple. One niche, clear packages, fair pricing, and a plan you can repeat each week. Start with three clients, track results, and adjust. If it feels easy to run and students improve, keep going. If not, cut steps until it does.

VEGA AI keeps both light-clients book and pay in one place, and you can generate quizzes and practice from your notes in minutes. That way, each tutoring service hour stays focused on teaching, not typing.

Conclusion

Tutoring as a side works when you keep it simple. One niche, clear packages, fair pricing, and a plan you can repeat each week. Start with three clients, track results, and adjust. If it feels easy to run and students improve, keep going. If not, cut steps until it does.
