Tutor DoctorOpiniões 

I have had tutors for my son before but have never experienced anything like this. I required an experienced alevel chemistry teacher to teach my son and for the steep price of £50 an hour I thought I would get this. Instead I received someone who had just left uni and had no idea of teaching instead he wrote down everything on his mind about a topic not asking questions not testing my son on anything. He even accidentally told my son university things and my son told him that he didn’t need to know that. He didn’t have a clue how to teach. Worse than this is the fact you pay £50 to set it up. £50 just to chat with the tutor to see if they are the right fit!! And then £50 every time you don’t give 48 hours notice. I understand this however the tutor himself cancelled a few times very short notice!! And yet nothing happened about that. And the time I did cancel was when he tried to get my son to do 3 sessions in one week when I was away and my son said he had work that day and probably couldn’t get rid of work the tutor but him down as a maybe and then on the day ( when my son found out ) he told the tutor he couldn’t get rid of his shift at work so the tutor charged me £50 even tho he told the tutor he probably couldn’t do that day! He was clearly trying to get as much money out of my son has possible as in the initial meeting I told the tutor I only wanted to pay for 1 hour a week which is all I can afford at the moment. So this £150 in one week really set me back! I thought the tutor would listen to that not try and make as many sessions as he could when I was away. PARENTS DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY THEY DO NOT EMPLOY TEACHERS JUST UNI STUDENTS!!
ITS A SCAM!!

Sevenoaks franchise didn’t bother to return calls and then not to be trusted , I wish I had read the reviews beforehand before I wasted my time in contacting this company

Steve Woolley, our tutor doctor based in Loughborough has been amazing. He worked really hard to find a solution that worked for my daughter. Can not recommend him highly enough.

We have been using Tutor Doctor who has assigned us with an excellent Tutor :- Tammy Earnshaw. She is wonderful Tutor and my son enjoys his sessions due to the variety of tasks woven into the session,

Really friendly and competent maths tuition

Highly flexible to meet the schedules of their students. Also, wide coverage in number of subjects where tutors are available.

Esther who has worked with our daughter (aged 20), who is exteremly dyslexic, for the last 2 years is an outstanding tutor. She is so much more than a tutor helping with literacy she has given her confidence, life skills and has exceeded our expectations in every way.

Very professional and qualified tutors. Highly recommend!

Mackayla is an exceptional tutor who brings knowledge and fun to our young daughter’s weekly sessions. In both math and French, our child is well ahead of her grade but most importantly, Mackayla has fostered a love of math and keeps our child engaged.

Really pleased with the tutor allocation process. After just a few weeks of receiving one to one tutoring my daughter’s confidence is growing from strength to strength, and as a parent, that’s really important. Thanks

We have had excellent support and advice from Suzie and David with home visits from them both. The tutor they have matched with our son is excellent and we are very happy. We would definitely recommend the Twickenham Tutor Doctor service run by them.

This franchise pushes tutors coming to you as a selling point. However, good tutors are often far too busy to make house calls. This is one of the reasons my students have to come to me. There's another good one. I tutor A-level maths, chemistry and physics, and have a fairly extensive library. It's not that unusual for me to pick a book off the shelf to help a student, and there's no way I could cart them all around. So, the bottom line is that, by insisting that a tutor comes to you, you are probably missing out the some of the best ones who could make a real difference to your child's exam grade.

Another thing to consider is that good, confident tutors like to work for themselves, not for a company that sponges off their hard work. You will find that the best tutors through companies like First Tutors, Tutor Hunt and UK Tutors. These will charge you a very reasonable one off introduction fee, so overall the tuition will probably cost you a lot less. You will also be free to stop or change tuition.

Finally, a couple of warnings. UK tutoring has become a little like the Wild West. I never cease to me amazed by how highly qualified some young "tutors" seem to be, with top degrees from the best universities. But think about it for a second. Why would some young person with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, from Imperial College be working as a tutor? Am I the only one who thinks this sounds too good to be true? Unfortunately there is a thriving market in fake degree certificates. And how many of those 5 star reviews are written by friends and relatives? I recall one tutor's profile where each review had nearly identical wording, including the bad English.

To begin with, the counsellor takes time to assess the individual child’s needs to conduct a teacher match. We liked the fact that feedback on the tutor was taken on board and changes made to suit our learning needs. Early days but so far so good. The rate per hour is a stretch for us financially but that seems to be the average market ask.

I was one of the franchisees and I put my heart, my soul and all of my money into this franchise and it broke me financially but most importantly emotionally. Take care, all of you out there.

It's a con. They only survive by ripping tutors and parents off.

My son has been with Tudor for about 6 months and has already been a great improvement in all his 3 subjects and as a result have introduced them to one of my work colleagues.
My questions and concerns are all answered n dealt with promptly by Ash,the coordinator.
Manisha the tutor is also marvellous.
I give them 10 out of 10 .

I’m currently working with Tameeka Rajoo for my 14 year old and 11 year old. She’s truly amazing, both my kids improved their marks instantly. I’m confident their average for the year will go up by 10%. She’s been with us since June /July 2019 . Tutor Doctor really looks at your needs and matches the right candidate for your children. I’m really happy, money well spent!

I've worked with the Milwaukee Tutor Doctor with two of my children related to ACT prep. Our assigned tutor has been nothing short of excellent at helping the kids prepare for the ACT and also helps with daily school work.

Thank you for helping our kids gain acceptance into every college they have applied while increasing their confidence.

I worked with Tutor Doctor Bristol for a year and I’ve just experienced a very upsetting and unprofessional exchange with the Education Consultant at Tutor Doctor regarding a request for a reference for a different teaching assistant role I am applying for - the interaction ended today after being asked to write my own reference, or I would be “waiting a long time”. There has also been inappropriate exchanges with perspective employers. I’m appalled at the way I have been treated and questioned about seeking a new job role separate to tutoring and have resigned resultantly. In 5 years of tutoring and 10 years of employment I have never been spoken to like this before.

Additionally, when I was approached about working for Tutor Doctor I was asked to lie about when I joined the agency to a client to make it appear I had worked for them for longer. There was another issue about lack of transparency between how much clients were paying v how much I was earning which I found to be very misleading and untrustworthy.

I would not recommend working with Tutor Doctor on any basis whatsoever.

The tutor was not a proper teacher
The lessons involved the tutor completing questions with our daughter - our daughter often finished before the tutor. She obviously hadn't prepared the lesson before hand
When we cancelled the arrangement - we were charged a £50admin fee!!
