Imagine someone getting a masters degree, applying for jobs, and getting no good response. Now, he/she doesn't want to waste time and wants to teach the children of people in his circle (friends, acquaintaces, and relatives). They show interest in hiring him to teach their children at their homes because they acknowledge how qualified the person is. Those parents are willing to pay him/her well on a monthly basis.

Now, my question is, does this person or other people like him/her can start giving home tuition without requiring any permits from the state or local permitting office, or doesn't he/she need any permits; it's just a matter between him/her(the tutor) and the families?

The need for permits to provide home tuition varies depending on the regulations of the state or local area. It is advisable for the person to check with the state or local permitting office to determine if any permits or licenses are required to offer tutoring services.
 
The need for permits for home tutors in the United States can vary depending on local regulations. Generally speaking, private tutors working independently may not need specific permits to operate as long as they comply with tax regulations and other applicable laws. However, it's essential to consider the following factors:

Business Regulations: Some localities may require individuals running tutoring services as a business to obtain a business license.
Tax Obligations: Tutors should ensure they meet their tax obligations, such as reporting income and paying taxes on earnings.
Zoning and Home-Based Business Regulations: Local zoning laws and regulations may impact the ability to run a tutoring service from a residential property. Some areas have restrictions on home-based businesses.
Background Checks: Depending on the nature of the tutoring services, some states or local jurisdictions may have regulations related to background checks, particularly if the tutor works with minors.
 
You don't need a business permit to tutor in my area. You also don't need an education permit or anything of that nature. You might want to set your business up as an LLC, if you're really serious about making a go of it, though. Of course, you'll also need to stay on top of your taxes.

It all depends on the country the individual is resided and the rules guiding such country. Just abide by the rules governing your location.
 
Here is the thing, weather you conduct your tutoring business at home and needs a permit would depend on your local regulations and the scale of the tutoring operation . In so many areas, individuals that are offering tutorial services from their homes will need to obtain permit or licence.
