Have you ever wanted a business where you can make a difference and enjoy high profit
margins?
Work in the rapid-growth industry rated one of the best franchise opportunities. Tutor Doctor currently ranks #25 Fastest Growing franchise worldwide by Entrepreneur Magazine and has been continuously recognized as a leader in this recession-resistant industry. Over the past three years, consumer spending on tutoring has increased 7-10% each year.
Plenty of parents and educators are actively
looking for a way to give their children and
students an "edge up". You can help them by
offering services in the comfort of their home, it's that easy!
We are seeking leaders, not tutors.
The Tutor Doctor business model is based on
a Proven System. Your role is not to act as a
Tutor. In fact, experience in education is not a requirement. Tutor Doctor franchise owners operate this white-collar, home-based business by managing a network of tutors. Benefit from our successful one-to-one tutoring model that eliminates the need for high overhead costs associated with a traditional bricks and mortar business.
Every child can learn, given the right
structure and goals. Tutor Doctor's motto is: "Work smarter, become smarter!" Tutor Doctor provides affordable, one-to-one supplementary education across the United Kingdom, North America, the Caribbean and Latin America. Custom-tailored educational programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of children at all grade levels through one-to-one and online tutoring.
Our curriculum methodology is based on foundational learning, filling in the missing conceptual gaps that are hindering a child's success. We then consolidate current expectations and help them move ahead of their requirements.
Tutor Doctor believes in building a strong
academic foundation to help students succeed.
The Tutor Doctor methodology and programmes are tailored to bring out the best in our students by majoring on their strengths. We initially identify their abilities and challenges, and then use this data to help them learn with focus and confidence. All students learn differently; Tutor Doctor's
programmes are designed to suit each
individual's needs.
Learning shouldn't be a chore - Tutor Doctor makes it fun and rewarding!
Learn how to build your own Tutor Doctor franchise
GradePower Learning is unlike any other franchise in North America and is changing the way our children process, interpret, and organize information. It is important to understand that we do not tutor students.
Tutoring is only a temporary fix; it's focused on getting a better grade or test score. We combine academic tutoring with cognitive learning, so our focus is on improving how children learn. We use these methods in order to teach students how to think correctly. By doing so they learn real self-esteem and they won't need tutoring year after year. This will not only give students better grades, it will benefit them for the rest of their lives. We have the widest array of these programs, such as; Little Readers, Beyond Tutoring, Advantage, SAT/ACT Test Prep, College Readiness Study, ADD, ADHD, NCLB and more!
You will also have the opportunity to partner with a company that not only has 25 years dedicated to the learning and education industry, but also over 35 years experience in franchising and working with people from all walks of life to help them build a successful future for themselves and their families.
