How To Start An Online Tutoring Business?

Can I start a tutoring business teaching "auto mechanics" to students and give out certificate of completion?

• I am an expert auto mechanic, and would like to tutor to make some extra money. Can I open a "tutoring" business, and then give out "Certificate of completion?"

• Answer:

  You could do this, of course, but the certificate you offer will mean very little to anyone (both those that would take your course and potential employers of said people) unless you find a way to get some form of accreditation or endorsement. Look at other options people have already for this and ask yourself, "What will I offer that these other places do not? What would make them choose me over these options already out there?" For each program, you should see what sort of accreditation/endorsement each offers, then find out if it is possible for you to obtain such for your own training/tutoring business. Otherwise, you may be better off to simply offer your tutoring services via craiglist or other public announcements, as many people do want to want to learn about how their cars work and/or how to repair them, and they don't necessarily need a certificate for it :)
