Ask the CommunityA tutoring franchise where you can aim for profit even without experience. Many classrooms have annual sales exceeding 10 million yen.
For tutoring businesses, instructor salaries are a major expense. However, the franchise tutoring school "SELMO" employs a computer-based multimedia study system. Since instructors are not needed and the AI-powered SELMO learning system acts as the instructor, the owner can manage the business alone!
Estimated Startup Cost:Up to ¥5,000,000
Industry:Cram School/School
In typical private tutoring centers, hiring, training, and managing instructors often incurs significant annual costs exceeding 3 million yen. Selmo, however, utilizes ICT-based learning materials and operates with zero personnel costs, as it does not rely on hiring part-time instructors.
Depending on factors such as classroom size and student numbers, it's possible to operate with just one owner in a small 15-tsubo (approximately 50 square meter) classroom in a residential area. This structure makes it easy to minimize fixed costs related to personnel management and property.
Our patented and award-winning e-learning ICT learning system is compatible with major textbooks nationwide and supports personalized learning, including review and advanced learning tailored to each student's understanding level.
The owner focuses on learning planning, progress monitoring, encouragement, and motivation, rather than simply lecturing. We cultivate the ability to "think for oneself, solve problems independently, and learn independently."
While adhering to brand standards, you can devise creative classroom layouts and approaches to engaging with the local community.
Before opening, we provide support with market area and property consultations, financial planning, training, and student recruitment. Even after opening, we continuously support those new to the education industry in managing their classrooms through consultations with supervisors, training sessions, and support for sales promotion and operational improvements.
