ESA for Tutors in New Hampshire

Yes — Tutors can be paid with New Hampshire ESA funds

New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account (EFA) lets families spend public funds with approved vendors. As a tutoring business, you register as a vendor / service provider, get approved, and receive funds through ClassWallet. New Hampshire's EFA runs on ClassWallet for income-eligible families — a steady vendor market.

How to register as a tutoring business vendor

1. Register as an approved EFA vendor (program administered by the Children’s Scholarship Fund NH).
2. Onboard with ClassWallet for payments.
3. Confirm allowable-expense categories for your services.

Do Tutors need to be an approved ESA vendor in New Hampshire?

Yes. A tutoring business can’t be paid with Education Freedom Account funds until it’s an approved vendor / service provider and is set up on ClassWallet. Families can only spend their account on vendors the program has cleared, so registration is the gate between you and the money. The good news: once you’re approved you’re visible to every family in the program looking for a tutoring business.

What you can bill Education Freedom Account for

As a tutoring business in New Hampshire, the approved spending categories you’ll typically invoice against are:

• Tuition
• Tutoring
• Curriculum & instructional materials
• Therapies
• Supplemental instruction

Whatever the category, the line items on your invoice must name the educational subject (e.g. “Grade 4 mathematics”, not just “tutoring”) — a vague description is the single most common reason a tutoring business’s invoice is returned.

How much can a tutoring business earn from New Hampshire ESA?

New Hampshire families receive ~$5,000/student, and income-eligible families. You’re paid per service you deliver and invoice — there’s no platform cap on how many families a tutoring business can serve, so your ceiling is how many students you take and how cleanly your invoices clear ClassWallet.

How a tutoring business gets paid through ClassWallet

ClassWallet is the digital wallet most ESA states use. It charges vendors a ~2.5% service fee and pays funds into your business bank account. You deliver the service, send a compliant itemised invoice, the family approves it against their balance, and ClassWallet releases the funds. See the full New Hampshire payment walkthrough →
