TUTORIAL CENTRE—A SECRET WAY TO MAKE MONEY




A lot of persons are making money with coaching centres. If you look around carefully, you will probably see these centres. They groom students for external examinations such as WAEC, NECO, GCE, UTME, etc. It has been observed that many students who have reached SSS 3, soon stop going to their regular school and prefer attending lecture centre from home. This is the situation every year. It is a need that should be satisfied.

I have a friend that has a lecture centre at Ugbighoko, Benin City. He graduated from the University of Benin from the department of Law. When I asked him how he got the inspiration, he explained to me that he did an entrepreneurial course which sparked his interest in that direction. He opened the tutorial centre in 2013 and has been doing well ever since. Every year, he coaches more than 400 students for different exams. Indeed, this guy is making a lot of money. Just imagine each student pays 2500 naira monthly. What I admire most in this young man is his aggressive marketing strategies.

THE REQUIREMENT
You require some form of qualification to properly satisfy this need. Are you an English or Maths teacher? This is a fine opportunity to tap into this need. However, if you are good at teaching or you surround yourself with a crop of seasoned teachers you will excel greatly.

FACILITIES REQUIRED
1.       You need to locate your coaching centre in a strategic place to appeal to a wider range of students.
2.       Boards and chairs
3.       Textbooks and other teaching aids.
