Educational Support Services

NAICS 611710 · Educational Services · SBA size standard: $24 million average annual receipts

Educational support services coordinate tutoring sessions, test prep classes, curriculum development and supplemental instruction for schools, districts and families. For an organization that books one-on-one tutoring, small group workshops and standardized test prep on recurring weekly schedules, the specialists turn inquiries into scheduled sessions, enrollment lists into instructor assignments and material orders, and session notes into progress reports and invoices. Curriculum standards, instructor qualifications and student privacy stay with the director.
