Of course, this model of education is nothing new. For decades, tutoring has been the norm in Asian countries and the results are obvious when you see their meteoric rise to the top of world education rankings.

Patricia Hughes, Tutor Doctor franchise owner explains: “I taught in Gwangju, South Korea.  In Korea, tutoring outside of the school day is commonplace for students of all ages and ‘hogwans’ abound. They tend to be subject-specific tutoring centers. Many are established for improving English language skills and many are music studios, but others feature the core subjects.”

This kind of tutoring business is growing in popularity as some parents are choosing to enhance their child’s education with one-on-one private in-home tutoring rather than sending them to more expensive private schools.

After her experience in Korea, Patricia decided to purchase a tutor franchise of her own and it was Tutor Doctor she settled on. “I’m impressed with the corporate culture and the commitment to training and, as we say in education, the professional development of the franchisees. It has been a good experience. I can’t imagine what a better one would look like!” she says.

While Patricia did have experience as an educator, she had never owned her own education franchise.

 “They have helped in every way. Regional representatives, business coaches, mentors, ongoing communication with the training department, wonderful tech support. I know they all have my back!”

Not only is Patricia the proud owner of a profitable tutoring franchise, she also has the satisfaction of knowing that she is making a difference in the lives of students and their families. The ability to make up for the shortcomings of the education system and to give students every possible opportunity to succeed is one that educational franchise owners like Patricia, find rewarding.
