Am thinking of starting a holistic tutoring business for children (Y 1-6) struggling academically (and in other areas if needed) that focuses on incorporating a range of inclusive whole-child focused strategies rather than just focusing on the academic gap (family involvement, goal setting, relationship building etc gains better results usually). My question is, would anyone be interested in this approach, or is academic achievement the only thing parents are interested in?
