Semi-Absentee Tutoring Franchise in South Suburbs–$350K+ Revenue
Business Description
Comes with a strong center director or option to owner/operator for more SDE!
This is an exceptional opportunity to own a well-established supplemental education business that has been serving its local community for over 15 years. As part of a nationally recognized franchise network with over 45 years of experience in K–12 education, this center is known for delivering high-impact, personalized academic support.
The business offers a full range of academic services for grades K–12, including reading, math, writing, study skills, homework support, and test preparation. Programs are delivered through a combination of proven curriculum, engaging technology, and certified educators, creating individualized learning experiences that drive real results for students.
Strategically located in a well-maintained retail center with excellent visibility on a high-traffic street, the facility is easily accessible and surrounded by a solid middle-class customer base. The location is professionally outfitted and provides a welcoming, productive environment for students and families.
A major strength of the business is its experienced and dependable Center Director, who manages daily operations and staff. This allows the current owner to work fewer than 20 hours per week, primarily in an oversight and strategic role. For a buyer interested in a semi-absentee model, this structure is already in place.
However, for a buyer who chooses to owner/operate the business, there's significant upside: Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) can exceed $100,000 annually, based on current performance and cost structure.
Despite broader economic fluctuations, the business has maintained consistent annual revenues of over $350,000 for the past three years, underscoring its strong market position and steady demand.
Business Highlights:
15+ years of success in a growing, education-focused market
Proven track record with $350K+ annual revenue
Full range of K–12 tutoring and test prep services
Certified instructors and personalized learning programs
Prime location in a high-traffic, well-kept retail center
Reliable Center Director allows for limited owner involvement

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 8
- Franchise
- This business is an established franchise
- Market Outlook / Competition
- This particular brand offers a broad footprint in the city and suburbs with a mix of tutoring & enrichment. These center-based brands lean on walk-in visibility, recurring memberships, and younger-grade traffic. A tremendous amount of strategic partnerships can be formed within the community. We're only seeing three other centers in a 30 minute driving range, but this location is in a highly populated area.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Currently there is less oversight on this location which means with a semi-full time owner or at least 20 hours a week, there are additional efficiencies that can help to optimize the business. Also, some centers within this franchise brand are doing between $500k+ with a lot of room to grow.
