Before you apply
Who is this for?
Tutors, teachers and coaches who can give a few hours a week and fund their own startup costs. Programs run after school, so you can start alongside another job. Not a fit if you want passive income or a guaranteed school.
Is this a franchise?
No. You run your own independent business under your own name. You aren't affiliated with or operating as GeniusLab.
Will you find me a school?
No. We don't provide school placements, locations, customers or introductions. Ben shows you how he approaches schools and reviews every request before you send it. Schools decide.
What kinds of programs does this work for?
Any kids' program that can run in a classroom: chess, science, art, homework help, coding, robotics, music, languages, tutoring and more.
Is this for one school or more?
You start with your first program at one school. If you want to grow later, the program includes Ben's blueprint for adding classrooms, schools and instructors.
Who does what?
Ben mentors you and reviews your work. We set up your website and sign-up. You run the business: filing, schools, hiring and families.
What if things take longer?
If your classroom isn't approved by week 12, Ben keeps meeting with you for up to 3 more months while you work on it. If we're late on something we promised, we fix it within five business days.
How much does it cost?
We go over the price on your free fit call. You don't pay anything until after that call.
How much will I make?
We don't promise income. It depends on your schools, families, prices and costs.
