With your mission statement in place, your next step is to clarify how you plan to make good on your promises. How will you ensure that your study times stay flexible? How many and what kind of tutors do you need to hire in order to deliver unique, custom-designed tutorials?

For instance, let us imagine that your services target at-risk youth and students with special needs. You will likely need to draw from a pool of tutors who display great patience and are willing to work flexible hours. Your tutors will also need to have strong interpersonal skills and be able to read people well. Skilled tutors who specialize in working with people who have special needs would be particularly helpful. Lastly, your employees (or contractors) need to be able to think on their feet. They should be able to quickly and accurately assess a student’s needs, abilities, and goals, and be able to create a tutorial plan that matches the student’s profile.
