Overview

The 8,000 exam prep and tutoring service providers in the US offer preparation for standardized tests and academic tutoring programs. Some firms provide basic education and personal improvement programs. Firms may also specialize in occupation, technical, and trade professional development. The industry includes non-profit organizations, franchises, chains, and independent operators. Non-profit organizations account for 18% of all firms and about 20% of industry revenue.

Online Tutoring Disrupts Industry Model

Online tutoring and exam prep programs expand reach, but also create competition for traditional centers and independent tutors.

Slowing Demand, Heavy Competition

Weaker demand and increased competition are expected to limit revenue and profit growth for exam prep and tutoring service providers.
