Franchisees have the flexibility to offer tutoring services either in-person or online. They assess each learner to match them with a carefully selected tutor.

  • Student enrollment system

  • Consultation and operations materials

  • Regular mentoring conferences

  • Tutor management and orientation system

  • Access to the Franchise Advisory Council

Since you'll work from home, you'll likely have low overhead and inventory, too. Tutor Doctor offers lead generation, connecting you to professionals through a website for tutors.
