Tutoring businesses are booming as entrepreneurs take advantage of an expanding market in the UK. Education Franchises are a growing business as parents turn to one-on-one tutors as a solution to dropping education standards. A new study reveals just how successful the tutor business has become.

New research show that 44% of children who live in London have received private tuition from an in-home tutor compared to 22% of those who live outside the UK capital.

This figure shows an incredible increase of 10% over the past decade, revealing that the home tutoring business continues to grow from strength to strength. A spokeswoman from the Sutton Trust who conducted the survey said: “London pupils are now twice as likely to have received private or home tuition as their peers in the rest of the country.”

This is good news for prospective tutor franchisees who can look forward to reaping the rewards from an expanding market. As competition increases for spots in good schools and in the job market, this figure is predicted to continue to rise.
