Build a thriving business while making a meaningful impact in your community. Founded in 2000, Tutor Doctor has expanded to over 400 franchise units across five continents, making it a truly global leader in the tutoring industry.
What Makes Tutor Doctor Stand Out?
- A Proven Model for Success – Start with a low-risk, high-reward model that is both flexible and scalable. Most franchisees begin home-based, minimizing overhead costs, and quickly expand to manage a team of tutors and educational consultants. Our industry-leading systems, training, and proprietary tools allow you to focus on business growth while positively impacting students’ lives.
- Award-Winning Schools Delivery Programme – Tutor Doctor has revolutionized franchisee opportunities by partnering with over 600 schools across the UK, significantly expanding their market reach. With franchisees exceeding £1 million in turnover, this innovative approach has been recognized with prestigious accolades, including the BFA HSBC Franchisor Trailblazer Award.
- Unmatched Support & Collaborative Network – Join a franchise network built on collaboration and quality. Franchisees benefit from regional meetings, comprehensive training, peer support groups, and dedicated mentoring to foster success.
- Personalized Learning Solutions – We offer two revenue streams: direct-to-consumer tutoring for parents and students and institutional partnerships through our Schools Delivery Programme, ensuring multiple opportunities for business growth.
-
Scalable Investment Options – Choose a path that aligns with your ambitions:
- Single Territory: A protected UK territory of ~20,000 students to build a strong local presence.
- Initial Franchise Fee: £38,000 - £43,000
