Jane Ross Tutoring

Your Investment Making a Rewarding Difference

About Us

In 1979, company founder Jane Ross began tutoring students in her living room in Memphis, Tennessee. She left her teaching position at the age of 29 to devote her career to improving post-secondary opportunities for all students, particularly those who were underserved in area schools. She developed a business that provided private tutoring and workshops for students who were preparing for college admissions tests such as the ACT, PSAT, and SAT. Over time, the business grew tremendously and today, we are looking for devoted and passionate franchisees looking to make a difference in their community through guidance and leadership. 

What Sets Us Apart

For most people, the word tutoring conjures up an image of a teacher working with a student in a one-on-one setting. That type of training is certainly one of the services offered by Jane Ross Tutoring; however, private tutoring is only a fraction of our annual revenue. The unique factor in our business model is that we sell test prep services not only to parents and students but also to schools and districts. That additional level of services sets Jane Ross Tutoring apart from other test prep and tutoring agencies. Additional services include:

• Valuable partnerships with area school leaders that result in onsite workshops and online training ranging from 25- 400+ students
• School-based services such as teacher professional development
• Educational consulting
• Practice testing for students

Training and Support

Jane Ross Tutoring will provide franchisees with approximately one week of initial training at our home office in Memphis, Tennessee. The training will cover administrative, operational, sales, and marketing topics. It will also include the necessary modeling that demonstrates how to deliver the proprietary Jane Ross student workshops. This training will be provided for the franchisee and up to two other team members.

After the initial training, on-site training typically takes place when the franchisee commences operations of the franchise. An experienced representative from Jane Ross Tutoring will provide on-site training for a period of up to three days to assist the franchisee in opening the new location. On-site training and support from a Jane Ross Tutoring staff member will continue beyond the location’s opening; the franchisee can count on frequent visits in the first couple of years in operation.

If schedules allow, Jane Ross Tutoring will even send an experienced instructor to the franchisee’s new location to teach the first workshop. This will allow the franchisee and other team members to see the workshop presentation first-hand with student participants.

In addition to the initial training, franchisees will attend up to two sessions per year, which will include refresher training and ideas for improving various aspects of the business operations. We will provide the opportunity for franchisees to send additional personnel to refresher training. This training will be provided at no cost, with the exception of applicable travel expenses.
