About the content

This article introduces the business model and background of "Private Tutoring Share Space solve" as a new initiative to address structural issues in the cram school industry.

From the "Entrepreneurs Who Open Up the Future" section of the Japan Finance Corporation Research Institute's "Japan Finance Corporation Research Monthly Report," May 2026 issue.

Background: Structural changes amidst declining birthrate and diversification of education

The premises of the cram school industry have changed significantly due to declining birthrates, COVID-19, and work-style reforms. Traditional group-tutoring cram schools, whose business models are based on student numbers, are highly susceptible to the impact of population decline.

Furthermore, with the diversification of entrance examination systems and educational content, the demand for individualized private tutoring tailored to each student's needs is increasing.

However, private tutoring tends to rely heavily on the individual instructor's ability, leading to issues such as variability in teaching quality and difficulties in securing and training instructors.

Overview: Shared private tutoring where instructors can "excel as individuals"

"Private Tutoring Share Space solve" is a "shared private tutoring model" where instructors can teach individually without belonging to an organization, while receiving environmental, structural, and operational support. It offers a third option that balances "teaching as an individual" and "a supportive environment," rather than being affiliated with a cram school in the traditional sense or operating completely isolated.

Specifically, through features such as:

・Booth environments selectable according to teaching style ・Resident reception staff and security cameras for safety management ・Support for textbook selection and provision of operational know-how ・An educational information platform where instructors can share knowledge

solve creates an environment where instructors can concentrate on teaching.

This allows instructors to operate independently with low initial investment, enabling diverse working styles, from participating as a side job to full independence.

Features: An educational infrastructure that combines reproducibility and sustainability

solve is not merely a rental space; it emphasizes environmental design that allows instructors, students, and guardians to engage with peace of mind. Furthermore, by supporting education, which tends to rely on individuals, through environment and systems, via sharing teaching know-how and interaction among instructors, solve is working to improve the reproducibility of education.
