Experience the Education Boom with Tutor Doctor

The tutoring landscape in the UK presents massive opportunities for Tutor Doctor franchisees. There is plenty of business to be generated by tapping into the unique opportunity to work with schools and local authorities through extensive funding from government grants. As a brand, we have already worked with more than 500 schools and 5,300 students.

We’ve helped countless franchisees in the UK launch profitable businesses. Our tools, processes and unparalleled support have helped our franchisees in the UK build and grow their businesses. You always have the support of the Head Office team and our wider network of fellow franchisees around the globe for guidance and help.

We are an active Corporate Member of The Tutors’ Association, working closely with them to further the tutoring profession and standards in the UK. We are very proud that 2 out of the 29 National Tutoring Programme (NTP) approved tuition partners are Tutor Doctor franchisees!

At Tutor Doctor, we believe that freedom shouldn’t come with unbearable risks. Our franchise owners, representing over 600 units in 13 countries, get the career freedom they crave without the enormous weight of going out on their own. In the UK, we started operations in 2008, and have grown to over 133 territories. A study conducted by the Sutton Trust found that over a third of pupils in the UK receive private tuition, and that nearly 60% of secondary school students in the UK have received private tuition at some point in their academic career.

According to research into the private tutoring market, carried out by Cairneagle on behalf of Supporting Education Group in January 2022, demand is projected to translate into strong growth in the next few years, and forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 7% for the tutoring market until 2025.

So, what sets Tutor Doctor apart?

Our service is highly personalised. A one-size-fits-all strategy isn’t what we do. We carefully match tutors to students and have a creative approach tailored to each child.
We are local. Our franchise owners build partnerships, support local schools and positively impact their local communities.
More than tutoring. As a Tutor Doctor franchisee, no two days are ever the same. Your day is filled with diverse tasks that keep you engaged and connected with your community.
Award-Winning: We're the #1 education franchise in the UK. Featured in Elite Franchise Top 100 every year since its inception. Highly Commended by the Best Children’s Services & Education Franchise at the 2021 Global Franchise Awards.

Training & Support Provided:

We’ve spent the past two decades perfecting a comprehensive onboarding process to help our franchisees get their businesses up and tutoring as quickly as possible. We go above and beyond to prepare our franchisees for business ownership, assigning each franchisee a Launch Support Specialist who works closely with you throughout your first year in all aspects of the business.

After your first year of business, you can choose the type of ongoing support that fits your needs best. Get help when and where you need it with Specialist Support or participate in our Active Coaching Program, which will give you access to one-to-one coaching to guide you through your next year of operation.

The Financial Info:

The Tutor Doctor franchise fee starts at £38,000, but if you have at least £13,500 in available liquid capital Tutor Doctor has a number of financial partners who can help you finance your investment; alternatively, you may qualify for the Government backed Business Start-Up Scheme which allows you to borrow up to £25,000 without investing any money of your own. (This figure doubles if the business has two Directors.)

Working from home your overheads will remain low as there are no premises, equipment, leases or inventory involved. Tutor Doctor will assist you in generating leads, and can also connect you to its lead generation partners who can help you get your business off the ground.

Expected returns after two years vary, however, Tutor Doctor insists that it is its priority to give you as much support as you need to turn your franchise into a profitable and successful business. Moreover, field research has revealed that franchisees following its proven model consistently have enjoyed high, and early returns, as well as compounding recurring revenues.

Back to school boost for Tutor Doctor franchisees

September 26, 2023

As the UK’s leading tutoring franchise, the business is celebrating the start of a new school year following months of record-breaking accomplishments, robust growth, and innovative contributions to personalised education solutions. From franchise network expansions to pioneering work with schools, Tutor Doctor has solidified its position at the forefront of the tutoring industry, fulfilling its mission to provide tailored, accessible support to all students.

From the start of 2023, Tutor Doctor has continued to bridge the gap to meet the educational needs of students and now works closely with over 500 schools and 5,300 students across the UK. Franchisees are now reaping the benefits of this additional business-to-business revenue stream, increasing turnover for the first half of the year by up to 114% compared to 2022.

Tutor Doctor’s Schools Partnership Programme continues to be a progressive route to market as a result of a collaboration between the team at Tutor Doctor head office and an executive team of franchisees. Together they hosted their first ‘kick-off’ event in July to fully prepare the network for the new school year starting in September. The meeting was a two-day training course, with a focus on the franchise’s work with local schools and local authorities, and it was well attended by the majority of the network who collectively rated the training with a 95% satisfaction rate. As well as offering support to franchisees, they also launched a new bespoke Resource Library as a one stop shop for all 60 franchisees in the UK network to get all the information, resources, support and updates they need to capitalise on the growing revenue stream.

Tutor Doctor is equally making a mark for itself in the wider education industry with a tutoring award win at this year’s National Tutoring Awards 2023. Tutor Doctor Cambridge & Norwich took home the award for ‘Best Tuition Delivery to Schools’ as part of the Department of Education’s National Tutoring Programme, while Tutor Doctor Birmingham & Solihull were finalists for the ‘Best Tuition Provider for Evaluating Impact’ award. These accolades are indicative of Tutor Doctor’s commitment and dedication towards delivering quality tuition at scale, as well as showcasing the quality of its tutors and how they have made a transformative difference to students’ academic careers and life chances.

Working with schools has been a huge contributing factor to many Tutor Doctor franchisees and something the entire network is now able to benefit from. One franchisee in particular who has made a significant impact on his partnerships with schools is Piyush Gupta of Tutor Doctor Peterborough. In the last academic year alone, he delivered over 11,000 hours of education and is now a trusted, reliable partner having established a close relationship with the local authorities. His business has also seen him become the main education provider to children in care or not in education.

Another franchisee who has made a mark on the network by capitalising on Tutor Doctor’s bespoke schools programme is Neil and Melodie Watson of Tutor Doctor Newcastle Upon Tyne. In less than a year since launching their business, the pair have become leading lights in their local education system. Thanks to the additional revenue stream, they’re successfully hitting their growth and financial targets, and the focus on the schools’ market is really complementing their private client activity – helping them to grow a meaningful business with a high turnover.

“We’re incredibly proud of the achievements of all of our franchisees,” said Frank Milner, Global President of Tutor Doctor. “Year on year, we continue to be impressed by their commitment, their values, and the exceptional service they provide to their communities. Starting the new school year in such a strong position feels great, particularly given the disruptions caused to education with the pandemic, industrial action and staffing shortages. We’re seeing tutoring becoming more relied upon to supplement mainstream education, thanks to additional government funding being made available. This ongoing impact we’re having in the schools’ market really confirms our collective mission to change the trajectory of students’ lives.”
