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?

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.

Tutor Doctor reshaping the tuition landscape
Just over a year after launching their groundbreaking Schools Delivery programme, online tutoring business Tutor Doctor is reaping the rewards from heavily investing in their innovative scheme as they’ve received acclaim in both the franchise and education industries.
The programme, allowing franchisees to partner with schools to provide tailored one-to-one or small group tuition, adds another lucrative arm to their businesses while maximising student success.
“The drivers were three-fold. Firstly, we wanted to reach a higher number of children, many of whom have no other way to access our services. Secondly, supporting schools and local authorities, alleviating some of the ever-increasing burden they face. And thirdly, as an additional revenue stream for our franchisees,” said Mark Szpak, Vice President of Field Operations at Tutor Doctor.
Recently, Tutor Doctor has been announced as a finalist of the franchisor trailblazer category in this year’s BFA HSBC British Franchise Awards. Alongside this, the online tutoring business has been shortlisted for the National Tutoring Awards – both nominations no doubt influenced by the creation of their pioneering Schools Delivery programme. “We’re so proud to be recognised for our work in schools,” added Mark. “It’s the result of two years of hard work and over £150,000 of investment. The students we’re able to reach through this pathway would likely fall through the cracks in the education system if not for our franchisees. This really is a win-win for all parties, and we’re delighted to be in the running for these awards.”
A little over 12 months on from the launch, the scheme has delivered some headline results for Tutor Doctor and their franchise network. These include:
- 570+ school partners
- 5,900+ students reached through schools
- 65,145 tuition hours delivered for schools this academic year
- 87% growth in the scheme in 2023 and an additional 83% growth in 2024
- Network turnover up 114%.
These results have predictably produced massive positives for Tutor Doctor’s franchisees, who can capitalise on this lucrative new revenue stream from day one. Three pilot franchisees were chosen when developing the scheme, all of which exceeded £1 million turnover.
Mark Szpak added: “The programme has become the number-one way that our franchisees do business – accounting for more than half of all work – 66% of all work is now through schools and local authorities. This standout figure illustrates the dramatic effect the Schools Delivery programme has had on turnover for our network.”
Unsurprisingly, Tutor Doctor continues to be the fastest-growing in-home tutoring franchise globally. Franchisees oversee a team of tutors and collaborate closely with families to determine a students’ needs. As successful business owners central to the local community, franchisees assist children in reaching their potential and positively impact their lives. Tutors visit students at their homes or engage with them one-on-one through an online platform, providing a truly customised, person-centred service.
