Why do tutors need insurance?
As a tutor, you're tasked with preparing students for the SAT, Advanced Placement (AP) exams, and other tests that can determine a student's future. Your clients have high expectations, and might sue over disappointing results. Business insurance can help pay for legal expenses, medical bills, and other unexpected costs that could devastate a small tutoring company.
