Tutors who are in a class of their own
EDUCATION can be the key to a prosperous future, as much for the providers as for students.
Julian Field, 56, a former online retailer and management consultant, says: ‘As a father of two, I understand the benefits of tutoring.
‘At 15, struggling with maths, my tutor helped me go on to get two engineering degrees. I want to give others access to that support.’
As a Tutor Doctor franchisee, Julian assesses a child’s needs before selecting the best fit from his team of tutors.
‘Many families want help to prepare for entrance exams that could help young people get into college or university,’ says Julian, who has 35 tutors on his team and is expanding. Tim Morris, UK country manager for Tutor Doctor, says: ‘We look for peopleoriented individuals who want flexibility, can work from home and have control over their income.’
New franchisees get a week’s training in Toronto plus online training and business support. The franchise costs £29,700.
Andrew Green, 47, a ComputerXplorers franchisee, says: ‘We teach children in the Cambridge and Chelmsford area coding, programming, digital animation and robotics, delivering classes to more than 300 children weekly.’
ComputerXplorers franchisees market the service to head teachers, nursery owners, and holiday programme leaders, and manage a team delivering the classes.
The franchise costs £29,000.
