Tutor Doctor welcomes nine new franchisees nationwide
Published: 19 October 2018
Tutor Doctor is celebrating the arrival of nine new franchisees to the brand’s growing network.
These nine business owners have opened offices across the UK, serving families, employing local tutors and helping students achieve their full potential.
Tutor Doctor’s mission is to make a difference in people’s lives – franchisees, clients, their families and the tutors they work with. The brand’s industry-leading training programme ensures franchisees are in safe hands throughout every step of the process – from signing on the dotted line to securing their first client, recruiting their first tutor and beyond.
Kelly Couling, who has invested in a franchise with her husband Matt, says: “Tutor Doctor has a sincere drive to change the trajectory of student’s lives. It combined our business and education experience to give us a real boost when starting out. It’s always been a dream to give back to our community and Tutor Doctor allows us to do that.”
After intensive training, including a week in Toronto, the couple launched their Windsor-based franchise in August. Together with their new colleagues, they now form part of the 60-strong UK network.
Tutor Doctor caught the eye of the business-minded couple as they embarked on their franchising journey together. From his own previous experience, Matt knew only too well the pressures of running a business alone, and so the couple felt that investing in a franchise was a perfect solution. Becoming a Tutor Doctor franchisee gave them the stability and support they sought, as well as a personal preference of a flexible home-office environment.
Matt says: “After a career in the military, I started an outdoor education business six years ago, which now has a purpose-built centre. Kelly was a PE teacher and head of year at a local private school, so our skillsets just worked. Our backgrounds meant that we could direct our expertise into making the business thrive.”
Matt and Kelly have grand plans for the future as their passion for success grows.
Kelly adds: “The first month has been difficult for us, as you’d expect with any new business, but, like they say, it’s a marathon and not a sprint. We are most looking forward to achieving a great work-life balance and income to support our family.”
Out of all global Tutor Doctor territories, the UK has shown the fastest growth in like-for-like sales since Alex Scotchbrook opened the first Tutor Doctor in the UK in 2009.
