I'm Mark Kronenberg, founder and CEO of Math 1-2-3, Inc. We regularly research our competition. Today I found a Help Wanted ad on Craigslist. The ad was from a learning center that has 3 students for 1 tutor. The total amount they bill the 3 students is about $165/hr. ($55/hr./student). The "tutor" (actually a teacher because not a private instructor) is paid $12-$16/hr. which is less than 10% of what the teacher is billed out for. Not only is this an insult to the tutor, the quality of the instructor is statistically likely to be poor because the wage is too close to the neighborhood of McDonald's wages. Math 1-2-3® pays its tutors the lion's share of the billable amount. We seek to attract and retain top talent so we pay an amount that is as much as (or sometimes more than) what they could net on their own after marketing expenses. Our tutors are the highest paid in the industry.
We invest in our tutors because they are our top resource. We charge accordingly. For our clientele, price is not part of the equation. They shop solely on quality and demand the best. For the last 16 years, we have fulfilled this mission with our top 1% talent math specialists.
