Bryan's Tutoring Service
Executive Summary
Opportunity
Problem
Schools are underfunded, kids need schooling, some kids need more help than others; some parents want to help more than others do. Tutoring helps kids learn.
Solution
Bryan’s Tutoring Service offers a wide range of academic subjects. Sessions can be set up as private or students may form groups for tutoring. Private sessions offer intense individual assistance, but groups sessions can also be beneficial with decreased economic costs and the use of team-based approach that the business program encourages. For The Atkinson-based courses, Bryan’s Tutoring Service offers an extensive collection of past exams which are invaluable for teaching the material and for exam preparation. For all students, Bryan’s Tutoring Service uses the Systematic Analysis Framework (SAF). This unique problem solving approach taught to students provides a system to approach all topics that they encounter in school. This system seeks to provide the student with a way in which they can better solve their own queries. This system differs from most tutors who are primarily concerned with answering the student’s immediate questions and not concerned with providing the students with basic problem solving skills for future applications.
Market
Bryan’s Tutoring Service has identified several target market segments that will be pursued. The largest segment is the Willamette business students. Bryan has close relationships with most of the professors of the business program, allowing Bryan to tailor the tutoring to the specific course material as well as receive referrals from said professors. Within this market segment there will be three subgroups: quantitative clients, non-quantitative clients, and international students. Bryan’s Tutoring Service will also serve undergraduate students from Willamette and the surrounding colleges.
Competition
Tutoring has been around as long as students. And as long as students get in over their head, they will need tutors to help them catch up and keep up with their classmates. Some materials just need to be explained in different ways for them to make sense.
However, while the need for tutoring exists, the bulk of tutoring taking place in the market is very limited and unorganized. What sets this company apart is its experience and the attention paid to individual needs of students.
