When Jon-Anthony Lui was growing up, he watched closely as his father achieved success in franchising, selling products such as real estate and insurance. But, as he tells Multi-Unit Franchise Magazine, Lui found his niche when he began working for Tutor Doctor.

Lui, who owns 10 Tutor Doctor franchises, with 350 tutors who serve 850 families in 10 territories in Greater Toronto speaks to the publication about why he loves the Tutor Doctor franchise model, and how it has helped him make a difference.

 “Making a difference with young ones has always been a passion of mine. We all remember who made an impact on our lives at some point—a teacher, friend, relative, or mentor—and I liked the idea of capturing that magic and releasing it upon the masses in an organized, structured way. That’s a beautiful thing.”

Lui, whose parents died when he was 21, opened his ­ first franchise territory, Tutor Doctor Vaughan, in 2009. In 2013, he became the brand’s ­ first franchisee to reach $1 million in sales. In 2014 Lui, the brand’s largest franchisee, was named Franchisee of the Year.
