Being able to self promote and market yourself plays a large part in being a successful tutor or mentor. This doesn't mean being boastful but rather allowing your skills to shine. Much of the potential market place is untapped. Simply meaning there are parents and students needing help with something, with no where to go.
If you stop to think about it the source of business for a tutor will never run dry. As long there are students learning, there will be students who are struggling. A good tutor is never without a market place. However, the market place may be without tutors. In the time that I have been a tutor I have been asked time and again who is out there. Parents struggle to know who is reputable, effective, trustworthy, and available.
If you are a parent you might have wondered yourself from time to time about these questions. Who teaches private piano lessons? Who is out there that teaches sports techniques? Who can I find that specializes in helping my child with reading? These are questions that I hear constantly. The common factor amongst all of them is the lack of information.
