How much does a The Tutoring Center® franchise make?
The Tutoring Center® is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every child services & education brand that discloses earnings in the Child care & education franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
The Tutoring Center® franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a The Tutoring Center® franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "The Tutoring Center® franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
The Tutoring Center® lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
The Tutoring Center®'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
The Tutoring Center® closures & failure rate
Before you sign, The Tutoring Center® will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what The Tutoring Center®'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a child services & education of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. The Tutoring Center®'s latest tables show a stable franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 6.8%, against a child services & education median of 2.5% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 73 in the latest reported year.
Who owns The Tutoring Center®?
The Tutoring Center®'s franchise is offered by The Tutoring Center Franchise Corp. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:

The Tutoring Center® franchise — frequently asked
Who owns The Tutoring Center® — who is the franchisor?
The Tutoring Center®'s most recently filed FDD (2026) names The Tutoring Center Franchise Corp. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for The Tutoring Center. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a The Tutoring Center® franchise cost?
The Tutoring Center®'s most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $86,510 – $169,475, with an initial franchise fee of $32,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against child services & education peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $134,630).
How much profit does a The Tutoring Center® franchise make?
The Tutoring Center® discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any The Tutoring Center® franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does The Tutoring Center® disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — The Tutoring Center® reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against The Tutoring Center®?
No — The Tutoring Center®'s most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
Is The Tutoring Center® a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from The Tutoring Center®'s numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against child services & education peers and against your own budget.
