Competitor analysis:
Van and sons academic coaching has critically analysed the area of
Fairfield for existing competitors that may be a threat to the business. It
has found two competitors in this area, Major competitor- Pre Uni New
College a very popular tutoring business across the state and will be a
high threat towards van and sons. It strength are it is highly established
business, numerous customers, many locations and teaches from k-12
however its weakness is quality of the teachers are quite poor being hired
on the basis of vacancy also the prices are very high and may not be
affordable to all students . Minor competitor- James An Coaching has
similar goals to Van and sons. Its strength is it has been first situated in
Fairfield and has quite well established business and many locations but it
can be seen that the weakness the business has is it doesnt have many
teachers even though it has expanded through the growth stage and
classes are too big. It also lacks attention to struggling students who are

falling behind and doesnt offer accelerated class to gifted and talented
students which doesnt let students achieve full potential

Competitive advantage:
Van and sons academic coaching competitiveness advantage is it has
highly professional teachers such from James Ruse, top ranking selective
school in NSW and the highly flawless/ professional teaching approach
they have taken to help students reach their full potential. The centre has
a comfortable learning environment and highly successful lecture notes
