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.

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.

Questions About Tutor Insurance

Tutor insurance from Insurance Canopy provides coverage for tutors teaching many K-12 subjects, test preparation and college-level instruction, professional or corporate trainers, and more.

Tutors are always involved with people; consequently, they run the risk of having legal action brought against them. Our coverage responds to those instances and can be your financial safety net for things you are legally liable to pay for.

If you are a private tutor you need tutor insurance. Teachers or educators who work in a school are not covered by this insurance policy. If you are a teacher who tutors privately on the side, this policy can help protect your tutoring business

Jobs that require tutor insurance are:

  • Tutors for specific tests (ACT, SAT, etc.)
  • Tutors who go to client’s homes
  • Online tutors 

An additional insured is a landlord or business owner from whom you rent a business space. They may require you to list them as an additional insured on your tutor insurance policy if you rent your business space from them. You can add an additional insured to your insurance policy at any time. 

Choosing the right insurance is critical.
You can’t afford gaps in your coverage that could put you out of business.
