Business Insurance for Tutors
Insurance Canopy helps tutors protect their businesses from the cost of liability claims with A+ rated, low-cost insurance. Insurance Canopy is rated by AM Best, a national insurance rating company. With general and professional liability coverage, our tutor insurance plan covers the majority of risks a tutor may face. With Insurance Canopy you can run your business with peace of mind!
Cover Your Needs
Tutors face a unique set of risks. As such, you need a unique combination of insurance policies to cover your business. Insurance Canopy provides you with a customized insurance plan, including general liability, professional liability, and additional insureds.
Keep Your Business Running
A single liability claim could cost your tutoring business thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses, not to mention damage your reputation as a tutor. Tutor insurance is designed to mitigate—and even eliminate—the cost of claims, so you can continue running your business.
Unlimited Additional Insureds
If you teach lessons in a rented space, or run your business at several different locations—like a school or tutoring club—you may be required to have insurance and include the locations as additional insureds.

Do Tutors Need Insurance?
Yes. As a tutor, you are susceptible to many different kinds of claims such as broken or stolen business equipment, client injuries, and clients not reaching their desired goal. These claims can often be expensive and could financially devastate your business. General and Professional Liability insurance can help mitigate or even eliminate those out-of-pocket costs.
The Ideal Private Tutor Insurance
Insurance Canopy offers a comprehensive combination of general and professional liability, creating the ideal protection against the risks your tutoring business faces. If you need more coverage, additional policy options are also available according to your business needs.
General Liability – Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from accidents involving your business. Common claims include students getting injured during a lesson or accidentally breaking something at your place of business.
Professional Liability – Protects against third-party negligence claims arising from your business operation. Common examples of claims include errors and omissions made during the teaching process or failure to help students achieve certain goals.
Need More Coverage?
Cyber Liability ($99) – Protects from first- and third-party claims arising from a cyber security breach within your business. Common claims include repairing or replacing compromised equipment, recovering lost data, and compensating for lost customer data.
Additional Insureds – Insurance Canopy offers free, unlimited AI’s to help protect your business. This extends your coverage to rented spaces and other businesses where you might teach from the cost of accidents caused by your business. It is common practice for you to include these locations as an additional insured on your insurance policy.
Questions About Tutor Insurance
