Get some real-world outside experience first before you jump into it on your own.

I would first try to get employed by one of the for-profit educational companies (ex,. Sylvan Learning Centers). It's not just tutoring, it's learning about how to run a business; what to charge, how to schedule, where to locate and why, what advertising works best, etc.

If you want to go faster, I think there are franchises that you can look into (Sylvan may be one of them). This may be your best bet as they have most likely answered these questions.

Good Luck
