Speed reading is something that has become very big and popular in just a short amount of time and it's easy to understand why; the possibility of reading faster and working more effectively is a very intriguing thought to most people doing e.g. office work. So it's a niche topic but what would you actually do with it? Well, the first thing that comes to mind is to teach it to other people. Before you do this, you'll have to complete a similar course so that you yourself master the art of speed reading.

Especially if you live in a large city/community with lots of wealthy families, you have a very good possibility to find many customers and people in need of help with their school work.

Your fees are something you'll have to work on and think about quite deeply because if they're too high, you'll never find enough customers, and having too low fees is just stupid in all ways... When you're starting your business, a good fee would possibly be 20-25$ per hour. If you look at statistics and average fees for tutors, this amount is more to the lower end of the scale so as you get larger and gain more customers you'll have more possiblities to modify the business into your desired form.
