This is because some students wanted some extra help regarding their studies. So therefore, we have come up with a tutoring service called All Is Well, which can help to fulfil the needs of students. All Is Well tutor service is a new innovative business which will be introduced in an existing market. It is considered as an eligible and trustworthy business as it is a registered organization. We have planned to do some marketing activities, such as giving out brochures, participate in educational exhibitions and putting out advertisement at school, in order to increase awareness among the people so that they will realized the existence of our tutoring services. All Is Well tutor service is not just an ordinary tutor service, it also provides a system that approaches all topics that students encounter at school and this is where the tutors play its role by teaching and guiding them to solve any problems that they face. Not only that, but students will also have the opportunity to know their progress and they are given a chance to choose their favourable tutor. All Is Well tutor service is a Partnership type of business. It is run by 7 dedicated young tutors. By opening this type of small business, it can help them to earn some extra income in order to pay for their studies expenses. 3 Name of Business: ALL IS WELL TUTOR SERVICE A. SELF ASSESSMENT AND BUSINESS CHOICE Evaluate your strength and weakness We use SWOT Matrix model to evaluate the strength and weakness of All Is Well Tutor Service. Adding to it will be opportunities and threats too. This model helps us to identify and come out with an effective tutor service business plan. The main strengths of All Is Well Tutor Service lies in the power of our team; our workforce. We have a team of seven people that has successfully run a standard tutorial college, for many types of group students mainly Public Examination students such as PT3, SPM and STPM, college and with same batch university students. It is a team with excellent qualifications and experience in education as all of us had taught in tuition centres before as a part time job while waiting for our results. Trust and competence are key factors in this line of business and we can boast of having healthy dose of both. We are well positioned in a community with the right demography and we know we will attract loads of students from the first day we open our doors for business. As a new tutor service provider in Kota Samarahan and Kuching, thus it might take some time for our organization to break into the market and gain acceptance in the already saturated tutorial / education industry; that is perhaps our major weakness. 4 The opportunities in this tutorial / education industry is massive considering the number of parents who would want their wards to perform excellently well in their education and also adults who would want to learn how to read and write and also obtain high school diplomas. As a standard tutorial services provider, we are ready to take advantage of any opportunity that comes our way. Every business faces a threat or challenge at any part of the life cycle of the business. These threats can be external or internal. This shows the importance of a business plan, because most threats or challenges are to be anticipated and plans put in place to cushion what effect they might bring to the tutorial school. Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a tutorial services provider operating in the Sarawak are unfavorable government policies that might affect tutorial services, the arrival of a competitor within our location of operations and global economic downturn which usually affects spending / purchasing power. There is hardly anything we can do as regards these threats other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good. Why should you be in business for yourself Successful businesses don't happen overnight. So often we only see the finished product or hear the story of a successful entrepreneur, we don't hear about the blood, sweat and tears it took to get them were they are today. It takes a lot of planning to get an idea off the ground and actually turn it into a profitable business, but it can be done and it can be very rewarding. So, seeing all the success stories of entrepreneurs and businessman we wanted to experience that for ourselves which will be a great opportunity in expanding the network around us and most importantly in giving back to the society. Apart from that, we wanted to create our own career opportunity. As this is possible because in today's world with a generation of young entrepreneurs it's very easy to create a job for ourselves. If we don't have the means to do what we have truly want to in our day job then why not create a job that let us learn new skills and do what we love. In this case, opening a tutor service create careers such as a tutor or educator, an administrator, secretary and etc as this will be an important aspect for us as we will be able to sharpen and our molt our skills and able to be an experienced educator in future. 5 Next, there is a demand for the service that we are providing. In this case, learning never stops for a person. Thus, the need of tutor especially for students who are pursuing their education will always have trouble in coping up. So, that is where they need someone who is experienced to teach and make them understand. As only a true educator able to solve a students’ problem. Not only that, we want to help others. This is because there’s nothing like the satisfaction of knowing that we are responsible for the success of our employees. Our ideas on opening All Is Well tutor service will provide them especially my co-workers the opportunity to earn a living, provide for their family and full fill their own dreams. Thus, in a way it is an interdepending process that never ends. Moreover, we want to make a difference. Wanting to change the world (one small step at a time) is a great reason to go into business for ourselves. If we have a solution to a problem and it helps other people or makes the world a better place at the same time why wouldn't we do it. Being self - employed is hard work, but it can also be very satisfying to know that every single day we accomplish something, help others and do what we love. As for All Is Well tutor service the main focus will be in helping students as they are the backbone of the country and they play important roles in future. Last but not least, we want to make money. We always kept that as a last option because first of all we want to simplify peoples’ work done by solving their problems. That is our main goal. It always been that way. As an example, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are Billionaires now not because they aimed in making money but they are who are they now because they have solved peoples’ problem. But money may be one reason why people go into business for themselves. It's hard work, but one will reap the rewards if one stay cash flow positive, spend wisely and grow at a steady rate. As for All Is Well tutor service earning is just one part of our life and the earned profit will be equally shared among us. If this is a success means we will also expand our service in all over Malaysia collaborating with other university students there as well. 6 Why open a new business rather than acquire an existing one / become a member of a franchise restaurant There are few reasons on why we wanted to open our own business which is the tutor service rather than collaborating with other tutor service. This is because by opening a tutor service we will be able to work for ourselves. In a way to be our own boss. Secondly, we want to be more hands on. Starting a small business like a tutor service is right for us is the fact that we will be able to build something from scratch. Thirdly, we want to earn money. As you can see All Is Well tutor service is a collaboration of seven people who wanted to earn a side income to pay for their study expenses. By this they will be able to earn extra income and this job seems like it will pay a better salary almost always wins out over the lower-paying one. Not only that we want to take on additional roles. All of us have our own talent and experience in educational field that don’t fit into one job description. As we are multi-talented and don’t want to be pigeon-holed as just being a student who only learns and teachers students. Apart from that, we also reluctant to become a member of a franchise business because as per us for franchise the initial investment is usually high. We are just students who wants to own a business that give us a side income but for franchise the initial investment can be hefty, especially for big-name franchises plus with the monthly royalty fees that some franchisors charge their franchisees which will be a barrier for us from earning a good profit. Moreover, this limits our creativity because franchises already have a predetermined brand, there are creative limitations for franchisees who are looking to explore, alter or make additions to their company’s business model or brand. There are also restrictions placed on where we can operate, what products we can sell, and the suppliers we can use because of the predetermined business model. 7 Describe the type of retail business that fits the strengths and desires All Is Well tutor service is the type of retail business that fits our strengths and desires because we tutors are confident that we will be able to connect and communicate with prospective students to help them learn. We have natural desire to help people and be patient enough to teach them. As a university student we are knowledgeable in the area that we wish to tutor in. It is possible to tutor in multiple disciplines, depending on our knowledge, skills, and abilities. As we pick subjects and grade levels that we have knowledge and comfortable in teaching. Moreover, the location at which is at Kota Samarahan will be key for attracting clients. Parents will want to ensure that their children are safe and in an environment conducive to learning. So, the listed strengths and desires of our tutor service able to fulfil the expectations of parents. Adding to it, will be individualized service, based on personalized evaluation of each client and his or her specific needs and strengths. This takes into account the recognition that students learn in various ways, some students learn visually, others orally. All Is Well tutor service first evaluates each student and their best way of learning and tailors the tutoring to most effective serve each student. The option of one-on-one tutoring or review sessions offered to small groups (enough students so they can learn from each other, but not so many that it becomes confusing and distracting in the session). Specialized handouts prepared over several years of tutoring. Experience explaining difficult concepts and knowledge of what works best with certain types of students with Smart Art chart. The use of Systematic Analysis Framework (SAF) will be applied to all teachings. SAF is a system where each student is taught to properly approach any type of problem with a systematic method that provides them with the tools of handling problems with a formal problem solving technique, empowering the student to be able to learn more on their own. This is in contrast with most other tutor centres which assist the student with specific problems or questions. This is short sighted as it only addresses the difficulty at hand, it does not assist the student with problem solving techniques that provide students with tools to assist them in the future with unforseen problems. Our service is all about work closely with the different professors. This will help All Is Well tutor centre in getting a steady stream of referrals from the professors. 8 What will make it unique Using the Bloom's taxonomy pyramid in All Is Well tutorial centre provides tutor like us with a great tool that they can use to measure the complexity of homework assignments and exams. Moving students up Bloom's taxonomy pyramid and requiring them to apply, analyze, evaluate and synthesize information will result in an increased use of critical thinking skills and a greater chance for authentic learning. Bloom's Taxonomy will be also used to move students from a basic understanding of concepts to asking more complex questions like: "What happens if?" Students need to learn how to go beyond the basic facts: who, what, where and when and question the world around them. They should be able to explain their answers as to why they feel a certain way about a concept, posit changes they would make and explain why. Climbing the Bloom's Taxonomy ladder can help students do just that. Thus, for all the teaching material we apply this to increase the understanding of students who are studying in our centre. Secondly. preparing students for Industrial Revolution 4.0 with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) in teaching materials makes this tutor service centre more unique. As an example, by giving students more problem solving questions with the use of technology will boost the brain cells of students to master it and able to become as a competitive student with skills that needed in today’s globalisation. Adding to it will be music and arts which will be taught also in the centre as a stress free subjects for students to have a balanced learning. Not only that, we show students TED talk videos as a part of learning. This is because TED talks are a great way to improve students’ general knowledge. They also act as a 9 constructive form of entertainment. Part of entertainment also important for students especially students who are about to take their examination. This is because there is a saying that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Thus, good entertainment like Ted Talk will definitely boost their creativity and broaden their perspectives in becoming more confident and motivational. Hence, this type of service that we are providing will make All Is Well Tutor centre more unique for students who have never experience a proper learning method all this while and as a result this will attract more students to join our centre as parents prefer their children to be good in everything. What will the business offer customers All Is Well Tutor Service offers a wide range of academic subjects. Sessions can be set up as students can form groups for tutoring if they are not comfortable with the existing groups. For preferred groups sessions it will be beneficial with decreased economic costs and the use of team-based approach that the business program encourages. For PT3, SPM, AND STPM students All Is Well tutor service offers an extensive collection of past years exams which are invaluable for teaching the material and for exam preparation. For all students, All Is Well Tutoring Service uses the Systematic Analysis Framework (SAF). This unique problem solving approach taught to students provides a system to approach all topics that they encounter in school and also in university. This system seeks to provide the student with a way in which they can better solve their own queries. This system differs from most tutors who are primarily concerned with answering the students immediate questions and not concerned with providing the students with basic problem solving skills for future applications. 10 How will you capitalize on the weaknesses of competitors As for All Is Well tutor service will capitalize on the weaknesses of competitors by concentrating on what makes us different, worse or better than our competitors and will adjust offering and customer service accordingly. Next, we will meet our competitors. As an example during educational events or educational award ceremony we will inevitably meet some of our competitors then will approach them and get to know them. By exchanging opinions both will get benefit as this process is known as mutualism in creating a healthy competition. We will also pay attention to their methods and will ask tactful and diplomatic questions. As if our offerings are similar but complementary, we could even develop nice partnerships with them in proving knowledge for everyone. Apart from that, we will analyze every element of the competitors to maximize our performance, including market, location, facilities, operations, merchandising, and price also by updating our teaching material according to the current Malaysia Education System. Then we will also prioritize based on market demand and use the information we have to inform future decisions. Next, by implementing a new offer or strategy, the market and competition still need continuous monitoring and we will do a constant monitoring and will keep the business updated. Thus, we will continue to monitor our own sites’ performance and make adjustments accordingly, all the while keeping a sharp eye on the competition and competitor. 11 Name of Business: ALL IS WELL TUTOR SERVICE B.

One of it is by collaborating with the team members to brainstorm new ideas regarding the new skills of teaching methods.

Details like gender, age, demographics and psychographics are all important, but so are their interests, other brands they like, publications they read and so on. Talking to them and running a survey will be the best way about their own words, although that does come with biases. Solving the 13 problems that customers face on a daily basis will resonate with them much better than shouting about a shiny new feature. Focus on how we can make their life easier and more enjoyable. This will obviously be reflected in the marketing, but this insights can help sales and product development of “All is well Tutor service”, tightening our focus to better match our customers needs. Research your market location and market size There are two types of market segmentation dimensions which are demographic and geographic. All Is Well Tutor Service is available for all PT3, SPM and STPM students, as it offers a wide range of academic subjects. The target market for this tutoring service is for those who are interested in having a tutoring session and for those who needed some extra help regarding their studies. Students are given a chance to set up their own tutoring group for any sessions according to their comfortability if they are not comfortable with the current group. All Is Well Tutor Service is located at Kota Samarahan. Based on the survey that we have conducted recently, 75% of those parents who hire a tutor to their child have monthly household income above RM5000. So therefor, we have created packages according to customer requirements at affordable rate. Student Package 1 (SP1) is the most premium package, which is created for high income earners who wants to give a private one-to-one tutor session for their child without having any peers. Next is SP2, which is the affordable student package (SP2). Students can form a group where they can just share the total fee among themselves. However, based on our survey, we found out that there is 26% of the students who go for tuition said that they have a tutor and 46% said they take tuition as groups. We expected that there might be changes in target customer needs, buying behavior, perceptions and attitudes. We found out that customers prefer a professional organization which provides tutor service to their doorsteps. This is because it is hard for the students and parents to know how well they have performed and what kind of progress that they are achieving if they have tuition classes away from home. Due to these high demands, new registered mobile tutorial centres like All Is Well Tutor Centre will enter into the market and also, the existing registered tuition centers might also bring up a service by targeting this type of customers. 14 We realized that competition in the market will be tough in future as this business is not new in the market. That is why, we started by serving all types of segments in the market, which are the primary and secondary school students, because we wanted to know whether we have the right number of tutors or not. We are also considering on targeting new segments in the future like A Level, and disabled children. However, our marketing strategy is target marketing.

The primary purpose of a this business is to generate sufficient income from its activities to pay its expenses, provide a profit to its students, and increase the intrinsic value of the business as an income-generating asset. Tutors accomplish this goal by performing specific functions. 36 First of all, the primary day-to-day activities of a home tutoring business involve conducting previously-scheduled tutoring sessions. In-between sessions, you will spend time reviewing client emails, brushing up on student progress between sessions, and corresponding with potential clients. You should also spend time seeking out online learning tools that you can show to your clients as a supplement to what they are learning from you and what they may be learning at school. Finally, time between sessions can be a great time to work on advertising for your business. Review the risk you face and how you plan to cope with them 1. Lack of motivation of students Tutoring is usually about studying on top of full-time studying. For many students, that may be just too much. It's not easy for them to motivate themselves and make acquiring new knowledge fun. However, it is the responsibility of the educator to motivate the student to learn. One way to motivate a student is to learn about their interests outside of the classroom. Once you know what we students likes, we can apply their interests to the learning process. It's smart to provide real-world situations that translate the learning content to the topic the student is interested in. For example, if our student is interested in learning thorough visuals, we can ask them to visualize an area of knowledge they are studying in the form of a short comic or a beautiful visual mind map and through the whole period the lessons will be taught using video presentations. This is also where parents can help by communicating with the tutor and letting them know what their child's interests are and methods of their studying. 2. Stress and Anxiety in adapting to environment for students It's likely that students who enter tutoring sessions have experienced a problem with learning in a traditional classroom setting. Their parents might be putting additional pressure on the student to make the most of their time during tutoring. This students feel that they are coming to a tutor because of their failure. If they associate learning with failure, they will never consider it as improving their potential for success. That's why we as tutors will first talk to the students and understand the student's learning style fully. Connecting learning and adventure is a smart move. It's critical that anxious or stressed students approach their work 37 with a sense of excitement. As we tutors usually will experiment with various methods that align with the individual needs of the student. This is easier in a one-to- one setting. If we don't see any progress, we will quickly adjust our teaching methods and instruction style. This is because when we become more knowledgeable about our students needs, we will be able to anticipate problems in the existing knowledge and address them as soon as possible. As a result, this boost students results and their performance. 3.Problems in acquiring new knowledge for students It is common for tutors like us to be dealing with a student who needs extra time to practice and master new knowledge before using it as a building block for further learning. That is why we classify students into slow learner and fast learner. By this we will be able to teach to their level of understanding and students will be able to cope up easily. As an example, if we are teaching a new idea, the best way to introduce that type of knowledge is through educational games to make students understand better. These will provide an environment for students to practice skills and learn new things. The students will not only learn a new concept or skill but also have a way to practice it instantly. 4. High utility bills In order to provide a condusive and comfortable place for students to learn thus we face risk such as in paying high utility bills. Electricity Air conditioning and water will always be been used. Apart from that we are also providing free Wi-Fi for our students to utilise in searching study materials. To overcome this we charge price including this expenses as fee to cover the bills and also limit the use of the Wi-Fi by blocking visiting entertainment sites. 38 REFERENCES Berman, C. (2012).
