In the past, my plan as a private tutor always lead me to meet with the student in their home so it would be easiest and the most comfortable learning environment for them. When planning out this new endeavor, I tried to recreate this same plan.
Because students would need to travel to a centralized location, my options were to make multiple appointments at a library conference room, pay a very high fee for community use and use a local school, or start a home-based business. Community use fees are extremely high (over $100/hour) so this option was cost prohibitive. In the past I have attempted to arrange for library space, but the limited hours and unpredictable availability of space made this option unfeasible.
This lead me to the conclusion that the best option would be to convert the lower level of my home into a converted classroom. The 900 square foot area now has a large 8' long whiteboard (that will be interactive (much like the Smartboard and Promethean Boards), 10 individual classroom desks and chairs that can be separated into even rows or brought together into groups of 2 or 4 with ease, an LCD projector, and an overhead projector. All of the elements listed will allow the converted classroom to operate with the efficiency of a high school classroom with the welcoming feel ofthe home environment.
