PKW Tutoring Services LLC | Application Preview
PKW Tutoring Services LLC is seeking government grant funding to develop an online tutoring platform. The funds will be used to create a user-friendly website and an online math course tailored for students who cannot come to the physical location due to transportation issues. The goal is to expand access to tutoring services for a greater number of students, particularly in math, which is often a challenging subject.
In the business plan, the owner emphasizes the time and resources needed for both website development and course creation. They intend to handle course creation personally while outsourcing the website design to ensure professionalism. They have already begun gathering materials for the course.
The applicant highlights their extensive background in education, including 32 years of teaching experience and a doctoral degree in Child and Youth Studies. They have built a solid reputation in their community and have seen a decline in in-person tutoring since the pandemic, making the shift to online tutoring essential. Over the past decade, the tutor has grown their practice from just two students to 20 per week, primarily focusing on math for grades K-12.
In terms of competition, the owner notes a lack of significant alternatives in the area for face-to-face math tutoring, which positions them favorably. Their approach includes obtaining permission from parents to consult with teachers, allowing for a customized tutoring plan that addresses students' current classroom challenges while providing remedial support. This personalized strategy sets them apart from other tutors in the region.

Funding Usage
The funds will be used to create a website that will allow the students to work online and this will give me a chance to work with more students. I want the funds to create a math course that will be used with the students that can’t physically come into my location. There are many students that I can’t help because the parents don’t have a way to get them to my tutoring place. I want to keep my location and these funds help relieve the burden.

Business Plan
I didn’t know this question was next because I started discussing some growth in the previous question. Creating a course online takes time and creating a website takes time and they both need resources. I want to create the course myself and I want it to be focused on math because I know this for student struggle the most. Creating a website is important. However, I need to outsource an order to get it professionally done. I’ve already looked for material to start the course creation. I believe investors should invest in my work ethic and dedication. You see , I’ve been an educator for 32 years and I work now in a public high school as a testing coordinator. I have worked over the years to develop my education and I am a well k own and respected teacher in my community. I have a Ed.D in Child and Youth Studies. I won’t be working in schools for too much longer and I will retire and focus on online education of the students in my community. When I started tutoring in 2011, it was with 2 students and over the years, by word of mouth; I would have 20 students a week over a course of 10 years. Covid slowed everything down and I’ve seen how working with students online allows me to work with more kids. I tutor Math most of the time because that seems to be the biggest struggle of all time. I have students that need help from elementary to high-school Algebra 2, and Geometry.

Self Identified Competition
When looking at Individuals that tutor students from grade K-12 face-to-face in my area, the competition is minimal because most parents and students look for a good math tutor. I am different because I request that parents give me permission to contact the child’s teacher. I then create a plan that helps the student with current classroom struggle while I am remediating at the same time.
