Tutoring centers, learning centers (Kumon, Mathnasium, Sylvan), and test prep businesses generate revenue through recurring monthly tuition ($150–$500/month per student) and package purchases ($500–$3,000). With most parents paying by card, processing fees compound monthly.
A center with 100 students paying $250/month in tuition processes $25,000/month by card. At 3%: **$9,000/year** in processing fees.
