Worthing is one of the fastest-growing tutoring markets on the West Sussex coast. The town's retiring professional demographic has been joined by a younger London-exit professional class, both groups investing heavily in education. Proximity to Brighton's universities, the West Sussex independent school sector, and Lancing College create a rich tuition market for a coastal town of its size.
