Tutoring Plus

What Tutoring Plus does

Tutoring Plus is a sole-proprietor private tutoring business founded and operated by Sharon Klafter, a retired Seminole County elementary school teacher with 30+ years of classroom experience and 10+ years of private tutoring. The company delivers personalized one-on-one instruction primarily to elementary school students in grades 1-5, with reading and math as the core subjects, and also serves older students seeking support in reading comprehension and creative writing. Cursive handwriting and study/organization skills are offered across grade levels. Sessions are delivered either in-person in Seminole and Orange Counties in Central Florida or virtually via an online tutoring channel, and pricing is not publicly disclosed but is negotiated on direct inquiry by phone or email.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer service with no institutional customers, no partnerships, no external funding, and no additional staff. Customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth referrals, ongoing connections with local schools, and direct contact via phone and email rather than paid marketing channels. There is no proprietary technology platform beyond the basic online session delivery; the underlying "product" is the founder's teaching expertise, credentials (BS with Distinction from Nova University, M.Ed. from University of Central Florida), and 2002 Teacher of the Year recognition at Partin Elementary. Tutoring Plus is a lifestyle-scale individual practice rather than a scalable enterprise, with revenue entirely dependent on the personal availability of the founder.
