Getting into 11+ tutoring?

I'm wondering about whether I would realistically stand any chance as a self-employed 11+ tutor, and would welcome opinions. I'm not qualified to teach in primary or secondary school. However, I'm qualified to teach English as a foreign language and have many years of experience in doing that. I focus on teaching children and they usually stay with me for years. I get great feedback from parents and get on very well with children. I design my own lesson materials.
My DC took the 11+ exams for all the Devon grammar schools and was offered places at all those schools. I tutored my DC for those exams, teaching myself the material as I went. I tend to learn quickly and I'm good at explaining things to children.
I love teaching English, but it isn't at all well paid. I also enjoy new challenges. Would I be wasting my time advertising myself as available to teach 11+ online? Obviously, I would start off offering a lower rate than is offered by established teachers. I'd have to think carefully about where to advertise.

You could try but there are so many qualified primary teachers already offering this service.
