5 Small Business Franchises For The Teacher At Heart
5 Small Business Franchises For The Teacher At Heart
Tutoring
The more obvious of the two choices, tutoring programs are the perfect business opportunities for gifted teachers who don’t necessarily want to work a regular teaching job at the local school. Working as more of a secondary role, tutors and tutoring agencies get to use their skills and watch students develop without having to conform to the schedule and curriculum requirements that being a teacher would place on them. Two great work from home tutoring opportunities for the budding businessperson are Kumon and CompuChild.
Never to be overlooked, Kumon is one of the world leaders in professional tutoring, having excelled in the field for the last 50 years. Developed by a father in Japan who hoped to get his son ahead of the learning curve, the Kumon learning system has proven to be successful at centers in 44 different nations. The basic principle is simple and effective: practice makes perfect. Tutees are not just helped in-house, but are sent out the doors with assignments to be completed at home throughout the week as well, ensuring a full comprehension of any subject being addressed. If you believe that all children have a wealth of untapped potential, purchasing and operating a Kumon business for sale could be just the decision for you.
CompuChild is another great opportunity. Though it isn’t your traditional tutoring operation, it is certainly a business focused on providing educational support to students. Unlike most tutoring businesses, though, this work at home franchise puts franchisees right into preschool classrooms, where, equipped with a variety of basic computer gear, they give preschool kids a jumpstart into the computer world. Though at first that may sound a little challenging, all necessary training is provided by the franchisor, who even helps get you your first clients and goes on the initial visit with you. It may be a little different, but CompuChild is an exceptional teaching opportunity.
Business Coaching
Kumon and CompuChild are clear choices for the natural educator, but teaching children is not the only kind of teaching available. Business coaching is the perfect opportunity for the man or woman who loves to educate others and has a background in business. There are many businesses in the United States facing hard times because their leadership has made some errors that have either weakened or crippled the business. The demand is high for businesspeople who can come alongside them and help work them out of their tight spots.
One opportunity to do just that is with a home based business called Estrada Strategies. Whether you’re keenly aware of all the industries in your area or are just interested in helping CEOs succeed in business, Estrada Strategies can help you learn how to mentor your clients through whatever business pitfalls may befall them. All they require of you is that you have at least spent 3 years in the area you’re looking to start your business in. With an already proven system, constant help from your franchisor, and weekly conference calls with other franchisees across the country, your skill set and the success of your clients will be always increasing.
The Growth Coach and CEO Focus are two other business coaching franchise that are perfect for the person with the innate desire to teach. In many regards, these work from home businesses are similar to Estrada Strategies, but there are some subtle differences. The Growth Coach for instance notes that they are as much concerned with helping business owners get their lives in order as they are with getting businesses up and running successfully again. Instead of simply meeting with clients to give them bullet-point lists of things to do to get the company in the black again, franchisees work with clients to help them manage their life in general, developing balance that will eventually turn into profit for both owner and company. And CEO Focus takes the one-on-one coaching model a step further, providing clients with a monthly group discussion, so that CEOs can learn from one another and compare business successes and shortcomings amongst themselves. The support and advice that CEO Focus clients receive is therefore twofold, coming from both the franchisee and from other clients. Both of these businesses understand that business is more than money; it’s people.
Whatever your interests or experience may be, there is always a way to use your knack for education in the real world without having to be a school teacher. As you explore your desires and options, pay attention to your level of excitement as you look at each, because whatever you are excited about is what you’ll be able to get others excited about and ultimately find the most success.

Do you love the thrill of teaching people something new? Do you enjoy watching people’s expressions change when they do something they have never done before? If so, then you may have the instinctive heart of a teacher, wanting nothing more than to share your knowledge with others and see them succeed in new areas of life. Though the general assumption for such people is that they will go to work teaching at a school, the career possibilities for a natural teacher are far more plentiful than that. Even in the small business world, there are a host of possibilities perfect for such a person, and two specific franchise areas come to mind: tutoring and business coaching.
