Starting a tutoring business — what are some things to know?

College Tutoring
Being a college faculty member and administrator, I have access to LOTS of college students and a lot of parents at my daughter’s grade school ask me to find someone to tutor their kids.
I probably could turn this into a real business if I put ads in the paper.
Would it be ethical for me to use students at the university I work for and take a cut of their fees to pay my expenses?
How would I ensure that these students wouldn’t just branch off on their own once they are hooked up with families and skip my commission?
I guess I could just use a different college to get my tutors if there’s a conflict of interest.

For a while, I was the sole proprietor of One on One Tutoring Services. My service area consisted of a couple of small towns & I would make house calls. The students were mainly from about 2nd grade to about 10th grade. Meaning there was only about 4 hours a day during the school year to work. Not enough to make a living or hire additional help. And of course, it was a once a week visit, with instructions to the parents on how to effectively work with their children in my absence.
Now, working with college students would seem to be a bit different, though funding might be a problem for some. And too, there could also arise the specter of conflict of interest, in that you’re profiting from your association with students, while involved with your jub.
On the matter of hiring help, how would ascertain their qualifications? It takes more than book smarts to teach. And sometimes, the smartest people have trouble relating to those who are stuck on just past stupid.
Good luck with the endeavor.
