Students are recruited for you. Client payments are taken care of for you - no scrambling with last minute cancellations, no-shows or crazy parents. Parent-Teacher conflicts are resolved by supportive and conscientious office staff.
Cons
Not many downsides. You might make a little less per lesson than if you taught on your own. But the office support makes this a good trade-off. I'm not good at arguing with parents over money or last minute cancellations. Not having to deal with the parents myself makes it completely worth it for me.

We're grateful to work with such incredible teaching partners! We're like a concierge for teachers, so you can focus on doing the things that you love. Thanks for being great at what you do!
Forbes Music Company provides teachers with the tools and support to build a successful studio. For me, it's worth earning a few dollars less per lesson to have someone else take over the burden of advertising, sending invoices, and securing pre-payment. It's also wonderful to have a mediator available to assist with any issues that might arise between teachers and clients. Pros include: - Competitive compensation - Helpful staff - Full compensation for last-minute student cancellations - Weekly support calls (SOS) - Flexible scheduling - Both in-home and online teaching options - Online dashboard to log teaching hours, cancellations, etc. - Bonuses for long-term student retention
Cons
It can take time to build up your studio. For example, I started with only 2 students and it took a little while to eventually build up to 19 students.
