Tutor Doctor named as best education franchise in the UK
Tutor Doctor, the global leader in in-home and online tutoring, is celebrating a major achievement after being named the top education franchise in the UK.

In the highly competitive Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) rankings, the brand clinched an impressive 20th place overall – a title the brand will proudly hold throughout 2025.
The EF100, launched in 2017 in collaboration with HSBC, honours the UK’s leading franchises, evaluating them based on a wide range of factors, including financial performance, heritage, community contribution and innovation.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be recognised as the number one education franchise in the UK,” said Frank Milner, President of Tutor Doctor. “We’re especially proud to have been in the top 20 every year since the EF100’s inception. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to helping children across the UK reach their full academic potential.”
This ranking highlights the success of Tutor Doctor’s latest innovation, the Schools Delivery Programme – a significant contributor to the brand’s global success in recent years. Launched in 2023 after two years of development, this initiative has driven significant growth within the franchise network.
Since its inception, Tutor Doctor franchisees have partnered with over 570 schools nationwide, supporting an additional 5,900 students. The network’s turnover has increased by an impressive 114% year-on-year, and franchisees who piloted the programme each surpassing £1 million in turnover. Currently, 66% of all franchisee work is conducted through schools and local authorities, underscoring the programme’s success and demand.
Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK and a member of this year’s judging panel, praised the resilience of Tutor Doctor and the franchise sector as a whole: “From navigating economic uncertainties to adapting to shifting consumer trends and technological advancements, franchise brands in the UK consistently rise to the occasion. This spirit of determination and creativity not only drives the evolution of the franchising industry but sets new benchmarks for excellence. It's a testament to the strong mindset and the unwavering commitment to progress that defines the British franchising community.”
“Securing our spot in the top 20 solidifies our strength and standing as a brand,” added Frank. “I’m proud to celebrate this achievement with our UK network – I thank them for their dedication and commitment to children’s education. I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring as we roll out our innovative Schools Delivery Programme to more children around the country.”
Finalists will gather at an awards ceremony on Thursday 13th March 2025 at Leonardo Royal, St Paul’s in Central London, where several additional awards will be given to brands showcasing outstanding performance – ranging from sustainability to diversity and inclusion.
