Our tutor Valerie is excellent

Our tutor Valerie is reliable, friendly and professional she has excellent communication skills in terms of arranging timings and teaching my daughter Jessica. Jessica's confidence has grown immensely in nearly 2 months of having a tutor. Which I feel is the most important thing for a 7 year old. I also receive feedback sheets from Tutor Doctor which are very useful in reminding me what we have covered and what I can do to support Jessica at home. I would definitely recommend this company.

Thank You Tutor Doctor

From the moment David discussed my daughter's needs with her, Tutor Doctor have been exceptional. The Economics tutor they matched my daughter with has been absolutely first rate, transforming her learning and enjoyment of that subject to the point where she wants to study it at university! Given that her 'A' level road has been bumpy, to say the least, this is no mean feat! And the undoubted star of the show through all of it has been Victoria, whose genuine care and thoughtful attention to detail has really made a difference to my daughter's university prospects and wellbeing. Thank you!

Knowledgeable, Helpful and Professional. I would recommend Tutor Doctor

Our son received tutoring in Maths, Physics and Chemistry in the lead up to the HSC. Maths ran for 6 months and we were lucky to have tutoring in our home to start the lessons at which time it was excellent as we would get a detailed update on progress after each lesson. Covid lockdowns forced lessons online and the updates stopped for quite some time until we realised we should be getting reports emailed to us. Had this error not occurred I would have rated 5 stars. These reports were ok but no substitute to face to face catch up. The math tutor our son was assigned was excellent and connected well with him and we could see an improvement with his results in most cases.

Physics and chemistry tutors I never met personally but they both seemed very knowledgeable and feedback from our son was excellent. These two subjects we only took 5 hours for each as our son was already receiving good marks for these subjects but wanted a good opportunity for review given months of at home learning instead of school.

I would definitely recommend Tutor Doctor

My experience with Tutor Doctor

My first experiences with the tutors was acceptable. However, when a new school year started, the Tutor Doctor, by its own admission, was unable to match my children with an appropriate tutor. They offered my a refund of the balance of my money. I gave them a second chance. They eventually sent me a young girl who had to google every calculus question my daughter asked her. When they, once again, several months later and by their own admission, could not match my children with an appropriate tutor for calculus and functions, I asked for the refund they had originally offered. However, the Tutor Doctor used the fact that I gave them a second chance against me and refused to refund me. They said that offer was no longer available. Again, when I contacted them at the start of the new school year for a tutor for my son, I learned that the particular franchise had been sold. The new owner said to me, and I quote:
"I am the new owner of the Tutor Doctor franchise that you previously had an account with. According to the details on our system, this account has not had any activity since January of 2019, which is over 2 years since the last tutoring session was held. As such, the hours were forfeited and the account was closed prior to my taking ownership of this business. The policy that refers to this (from pg.2 of the Tutor Doctor Customer Enrollment Agreement – Enrollment Terms of Service):
2.TERM: The term commences on the date both parties have signed this agreement and will terminate after the fulfillment of the block of hours(as stated on page 1) subject to renewal in accordance with paragraph 4. Upon one year of inactivity on your account with Tutor Doctor, any out­standing hours that have been funded will be forfeited and your account will be closed.
I’m sorry to inform you that I will not be able to honor any credit you feel may have been owing to you from Tutor Doctor. I would, however, be happy to discuss with you the purchase of a new educational support package for your son, so that we would be able to help him with his Gr.12 Advanced Functions course. I can be reached on the number in my email signature below during our normal business hours (10am-4:00pm M-F), cheers."
The only reason there was no activity was because they could not find me a tutor. I would never contract with this Company again. Your best bet is to find smart students in higher grades of the school your child attends to tutor your child during spares or after school and pay them directly.

Perfect match for maths

My son completely lost his way in Maths as the lessons at school made no sense to him. We discovered Tutor Doctor, which takes great care to match the ideal tutor to the student. And what a match it is. His tutor is a brilliant teacher and a fantastic person. Suddenly Maths isn't a swear word in our house anymore and my son is excited about his classes. Never imagined it would turn out this great! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Tutor Doctor Solihull

Tutor Doctor Solihull has been great for us. The service is fantastic, they took the time to get to know my sons exact needs by assessing him. This was done in detail and then matching a tutor not only to his needs but to his personality and interest. The match is perfect, Gemma is amazing with my son and the weekly improvements are very noticeable. Highly recommend.

We have had a great experience with Tutor Doctor. Fred was very engaging and showed genuine interest in getting to know our kids before choosing a tutor. He was very transparent in the importance of proper pairing and making sure that all parties felt it was a good fit. We have loved our tutor, Ms. Tanyia. She had helped our daughter catch up with her reading skills and had helped our son stay engaged over the summer. Her fun but structured approach was a perfect fit for the kids’ learning styles. I would highly recommend Tutor Doctor and Ms. Tanyia.

Prep for 11+ exams

We've got Tutor Doctor onboard when another tutor has failed to establish a good pace with my son and his rushing resulted in my son starting to despise the lesson. The Tutor Doctor matched us with a tutor who managed to establish a good contact with my son and find a suitable pace which helped him to regain his self-confidence and desire to learn.
I was also happy with the personal assistance of the administrators and the owner who helped us to prepare for a secondary interview and get accepted to the school of our choice !
A personal approach is the desire to understand your child's character and needs is what sets them apart from another companies. My only suggestion would be about the sessions reports which should be more timely and detailed.
