The starting numbers and the monthly pattern are an example for a tutoring center. Adjust them to your own history.
A slow-season plan for a tutoring center
- Sell summer programs and test prep for fall exams.
- Set aside part of each spring month's surplus for July and August.
- Offer packages that families can use through the summer.
How cash moves in a tutoring center
- Prepaid packages bring cash in before the sessions are taught.
- Tutor pay follows the sessions, so payroll rises and falls with demand.
