As we continue to reflect on the year that was 2016, one thing has become apparent - Tutor Doctor and our franchisees have had a great year in PR.

In 2016, the Tutor Doctor brand was featured in media outlets such as Fox News, Franchising.com, Entrepreneur, and many others. What’s even more exciting, however, is the publicity and attention our franchisees received in the media this year. Franchisees from across the globe were interviewed, written about, and featured everywhere from their local news organisations to international publications.

Here are just a few examples of the amazing PR opportunities Tutor Doctor has had this year:

TUTOR DOCTOR’S JESSICA BUSH SHARES HER EDUCATIONAL EXPERTISE

The Best of New Jersey put together some tips for how to reduce homework stress, reaching out to local educational experts, including Tutor Doctor’s very own Jessica Bush. Jessica, like so many educators, has a passionate desire to help young learners. That’s why she’s owned Tutor Doctor North New Jersey since 2011.  Before that, Jessica spent 25 years selling fine art and photography to collectors and galleries around the world. She credits her success to her innate ability to sense the emotional connection between artists and art lovers. She has brought this emotional intelligence to her work with Tutor Doctor, and is recognized locally for her expertise.

JEFFREY FRICHNER SPENDS 3 MINUTES ON A PARK BENCH WITH THE TEMECULA PATCH

Tutor Doctor franchise owner Jeffrey Frichner got into education franchising because of one simple thing - his children. As a father of four, he’s seen his children graduate from such illustrious institutions as Cornell University and California Polytechnic. Through his children’s education, Frichner saw the importance of studying and working hard, and he saw how Tutor Doctor could help students do that. Perhaps that’s why The Temecula Patch, a local news outlet, approached Jeffrey to talk about everything from education advice to his three favourite books (hint: one of them is a classic by Fyodor Dostoevsky).

FORMER BAY COUNTY TEACHERS HELP FILL TUTOR NEED

The year started off with a PR bang when Tutor Doctor’s own Alison Parker and Lacey Frank were interviewed in the Panama City News Herald. Frustrated by the lack of tutoring services, former teachers Alison and Lacey put their heads together and started their research into tutoring companies. The pair came across a company called Tutor Doctor, which allows people to purchase franchises and run their own business under the company's name. Tutor Doctor was special, Parker said, because of the program's commitment to building relationships between the tutor, student and family.
