Specialties
About 10 years ago, Tutor Doctor had a simple idea and a desire to make a difference. Here is what the Tutor Doctor difference offers:
*We come directly to the child’s home to deliver tutoring services instead of fragmenting a family’s precious time together by forcing parents to act as «taxi drivers».
*We offer flexibility in the tutor’s schedule so that tutoring time slots fit into a family’s busy schedule.
* Struggling students can get one on one attention instead of being limited to the «one-to-many» teaching models used by most extra-curricular learning centers.
* Our tutors develop personalized programs by working with the child’s existing homework and school curriculum instead of loading more standard textbook work on an already overwhelmed child.
The Tutor Doctor vision has taken shape. Now with offices internationally, the Tutor Doctor vision is becoming a reality as the lives of students and their families are being positively impacted. «We make House Calls!».
History
Established in 1999.
Tutor Doctor was founded in 1999 as an alternative to the «one-to-many» teaching model most extra-curricular learning centers offer by providing a personalized one-on-one, in-home tutoring service to students. The company quickly grew and in 2003 turned to franchising as a way of expanding the company’s impact and meeting the vast market demand. Now with offices internationally in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, the Tutor Doctor vision is becoming a reality as the lives of students and their families are being positively impacted throughout the world. Tutor Doctor is affiliated with the National Tutor Association (NTA) whose mission is to foster the advancement of professional and peer tutoring, support research into best practices and standards for all tutors, support tutor training, advocate for tutor certification, and uphold the NTA Code of Ethics. At our local office, (Tutor Doctor of San Jose) we not only provide the benefits of an International Organization
