Tutor Cowboy

I thought this close to GCSE exams, I would probably need a company with good tutor connections. Paying £47 per hour would've been good value if Tutor Doctor could actually provide tutors. I suggest the £18.57 average they offer tutors on indeed.com probably isn't sufficient.

Excellent service- no better place than here

Since Gordon started tutoring my son, his grades in Math has been above 90. He is always on time, never forgets to ask how his tests/quizzes went. Now my son’s confidence is back and he plans to do Calculus in High School. Good value for money- at the comfort of your home and most importantly seeing great improvement in short time. Tutor Doctor is the best because I had used two different agencies before them

The Best Decision

Liz has been tutoring my girls aged 8 and 5 for almost six months now and the results have been amazing. My 5 year old has a diagnosis of ASD and Liz has been able to engage her in learning through play and creativity in a way no in else has been able to. She is now testing above her peers in number and letter recognition. This is something I would not have thought possible a year ago. My 8 year old loves Liz and the one on one instruction has helped her to be more confidant in both math and literacy. Liz is both patient and reassuring and both girls routinely ask me if it’s a Liz day because they look forward to her coming. To sum it up I can’t recommend Liz and Tutor Doctor enough. Thank you!

Successful results!

I recommend Tutor doctor for their structured and effective feedback. It’s a reliable yet flexible system. We have had a great and positive experience with our tutor Jadd (Math). My son feels very confident in the subject after the sessions, he is even advanced in the course. He now enjoys Math and the smart student reputation with his teacher and peers. Great experience!

Chris Reese - Tuscaloosa Tutor Doctor is Top Notch!

Chris Reese, in charge of the Tuscaloosa Tutor Doctor branch is amazing. He works incredibly hard to understand each student, how they learn, what have been roadblocks in the past, comes up with a plan, and matches them to the perfect tutor for them. Liam and Shelby were both amazing fits for difficult upper level college Chem classes, going above and beyond!

Avoid - no work on offer

Absolutely useless at getting you any job opportunities - seen just one job going in over 2 months as a member. Pointless
There are far better agencies out there that work.

OUT OF POCKET! Scam!

I worked for Tutor Doctor Solihull. The franchise just upped and left. I was £500 out of pocket after travel expenses and tutoring. This was also after I carried on tutoring up to 36 weeks pregnant. I haven’t had a penny back over a year later and had no support from the tutor doctor company at all. Avoid!!!

New thinking

Our tutor, Jayne, has been a life send to my son. He’s always thought he wasn’t smart enough for couldn’t do something. She is firm, but patient with him, speaking truth to him, so if he doesn’t do the work he knows it’s because he doesn’t want to versus he can’t. She is great for accountability and is involved with his teachers. When she is over I know that I don’t have to worry about anything, she will take care of it. Tutoring is more than academic, it’s also a rethinking process about oneself. This is what we receive from Tutor doctor. Awesome!
