Launch An Online Tuition Platform

Online tuition platforms provide a channel for teaching students one-on-one. The tutoring platforms enable students to learn and study online at their chosen schedule, choose a tutor and pay for the courses they can afford.

Examples of online learning platforms include Coursera, codecademy, Udemy and Pluralsight.

To start an online tutoring platform, choose a niche and create a website. You can offer the lessons yourself or keep the online learning platform open for other tutors to signup and list their lessons.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a online tuition platform:

1. Third Space Learning ($9.96M/year)

Tom Hooper, the founder of Third Space Learning, came up with the idea for his business after selling his previous online tutoring company, BrightSpark, to TES Global. He recognized the importance of market focus and decided to launch Third Space as a second venture, with a specific focus on making one-to-one tuition accessible to primary school students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This market-oriented approach, combined with valuable feedback from teachers, allowed Third Space to gain traction and establish itself as the largest online tutoring company in the UK schools market.

How much they make: $9.96M/year
How much did it cost to start: $100K
