Good evening everyone.
I am considering renovating the 1st floor of my home and turning it into a classroom. I am hoping to teach my tutors there. I’ve heard as long as its 5 students or less, I would not need a business license, inspection, zoning etc. I could just start.
Is this true? I of course have an APRC, so there are no issues with work permit legality.
Thank you in advance
I thought it was four students. Apart from that you are good to go as far as I know.

Thank you for the reply BigDave. I think you are correct. It may be 4.
Could I also create a sign and advertise for this small studio tutoring classroom? Make it look like a class, create a storefront name etc Is that pushing it? Or all good?
No I don’t think you can openly recruit students in any way if you aren’t a licensed buxiban.

Hello All!
I have been tutoring about 9 different students ranging in age from super young (less than 2 yrs. old) to junior high school students for a few years now. During this time, I’ve traveled to their homes to teach them. I find this super tiring and not at all cost or time efficient. I’d like to open my own “classroom” (“家教班”, right?) by renting an apartment (separate from where I live now) which would just serve as a place to house my private lessons. So, basically, I would be doin…
On Monday this week our little school was paid a visit by the NTC ministry of education. It was just one lady and she was pretty nice about the whole situation. She came in and took some pictures. Afterward she took our information and told us that she would need to make sure we had the appropriate license to run a school. Unfortunately, I’m in some big trouble now.
I started this school a couple years ago without a clear vision of the future. I knew that I wanted to teach preschool-aged k…
I posted this in legal but didnt get a response:
If I want to rent an office and use it only for tutoring, do I need to get licensed the same way I would if I was opening a proper buxiban? I would have more than 4 students that I taught, though I would always be teaching one on one. I want to do it completely legally as I intend to advertise.
Thanks for any help.
