If you already have a tutoring or education business, or you want to offer sessions that are separate from Venture Kids Club electives, keep that work on your own platform and your own Step Up For Students provider account.

Venture Kids Club is not responsible for scheduling, invoicing, or billing those sessions, and we cannot guarantee that a family will be reimbursed for them. Do not bill independent sessions through Venture Kids Club.

If you will bill families through Step Up

You will need your own Business account in EMA (and a Personal account if the service requires individual credentials), a service catalog, and W-9 information: an EIN, SSN, or ITIN; your legal name as registered with the IRS; and bank information for direct deposit. A Sunbiz registration is not always required to create a Business account.

Start at Step Up’s Become a Service Provider Partner page. You can open EMA at apply.stepupforstudents.org. If you already have a parent EMA account, use a different email address for your provider account.

Independent academic tutoring is often listed as Part-Time Tutoring. Give families an itemized invoice or receipt that includes the student’s name, your name, dates or term of service, a description, the rate, the total, and proof of payment.

For credential requirements and hour limits, see the current Part-Time Tutoring guide and the Provider Handbook.

Free members can also add a listing in the VKC Business Directory.
