Before you consider the Tutor Doctor franchise opportunity, it’s important to understand what franchising actually is. We’ve answered your questions about how franchising works and why it’s a popular entrepreneurial choice, but now let’s dig deeper into the big, exciting world of franchising!

How Franchising Works

In the simplest terms, franchising is an agreement between a franchisor and a franchisee where the franchisee agrees to sell certain products and services using the franchisor’s methods, systems, brand name, and operations. A franchising relationship is officially solidified with a franchise agreement, a contract granted to the franchisee from the franchisor.

A franchise agreement outlines the terms of the franchising relationship, including the length of the contract, franchise fees, the exclusive territory, and the proprietary systems the franchisee will have access to. It also includes rules and guidelines that a franchisee must adhere to.

The Tutor Doctor Franchise

Tutor Doctor is a great example of a franchise model. After years perfecting our in-home tutoring business, we realized that students around the world could benefit from the excellent tutoring we’re known for. So, in 2003, we partnered with our first franchisees and for the past 17 years, we have brought our proven model to students and Tutor Doctor owners across the globe. Today, Tutor Doctor franchisees are making a difference in the lives of children and their families in 16 countries through more than 680 offices.

Why People Choose It Over a Traditional Model

There are a lot of reasons to choose a franchise versus opening a traditional, independent business. Check out a few good ones below.

Experience

When you franchise, you aren’t just getting a business. You’re also getting access to all of the experience and expertise your franchisor has gained over the years. It gives you access to an entirely new world of information. For example, maybe you have a background in business but not in tutoring or education. The Tutor Doctor franchise will make sure you have all the information you need to thrive as a franchisee.

Freedom

Any entrepreneur will tell you that starting your own business is a lot of hard work, especially during the early days. Many independent business owners have to put in long hours to get their business off of the ground.

Although starting a franchise business does require time and effort, proven systems are already in place. You just have to follow them. This gives franchise owners the freedom to set their own hours, and take a break from the business whenever they want, all while being their own boss. It’s a win-win!

Tutor Doctor franchisees have complete flexibility to set their own hours, work from home, and  take some time when other parts of life get busy.

Proven

The biggest reason people choose a franchise versus the traditional model is that the franchisor’s system has been tested — and proven! Every entrepreneur wants to open a business that will succeed. And while there are no guarantees, franchise systems have a history of success. Tutor Doctor has been perfecting our methods and operations for decades and we pass on our knowledge to each and every franchisee.
