The Challenge
- 1
Rochester winters brutal for in-person tutoring—November through March brings frequent cancellations and snow days, reducing tutor revenue by 35-45% during coldest months
- 2
Competition from university student tutors and national chains makes differentiation difficult—Rochester independent tutors struggle to justify premium pricing without unique value
- 3
Suburban spread across Pittsford, Penfield, Webster, Fairport, Brighton fragments market—city tutors need unified brand reaching all suburbs without travel time waste

Produce 120-250+ educational videos monthly (NY Regents prep, winter study strategies, virtual learning optimization, home study techniques) maintaining Rochester presence year-round
