Welcome to Tutor Doctor

Testimonials

We hired Tutor Doctor to help our daughter in Math. She has always struggled with Math but with the help of the tutor was able to bring her mark in Math up from a C to a B+ in just a few months. She seems to understand the Math concepts better now and is better able to work through the problems. Thanks Tutor Doctor for giving her the confidence she needs in Math to excel!

We are very pleased with the math tutoring that our daughter, Mariana, received from Natalia of Tutor Doctor.

ln a short period of time we could see an improvement in Mariana's skills as her confidence in math grew. There was an immediate improvement in her results and she ended last year strongly.

Natalia was an excellent and very capable math tutor. Mariana really enjoyed having her as a tutor. Also, we appreciated Natalia's flexibility in accommodating our schedule.

We are pleased to see Mariana happy and confident with her math studies. We do not hesitate in recommending Tutor Doctor to anyone who is looking for a tutor.

Sincerely,
Lossie Alston

Thank you Tutor Doctor!

My son Bret, had two very challenging classes during this past winter, math 30 and chemistry 30. We knew that he needed a tutor.

We were very fortunate to come across Tutor Doctor. From the very first phone call with Roxanne, we were pleased. We felt that they really cared and wanted to help.

Roxanne and the tutor that was assigned to Bret were very committed to making a difference and truly helped Bret. The assigned tutor was always on time and the convenience of someone coming to the house was very helpful with our other time commitments.

I would highly recommend tutor doctor to anyone who needs extra help with their child's studies.

Sincerely,
Jodi Bobenic

I am writing to let you know about our experience with Tutor Doctor. My son is in grade 9 and had some challenges in his English and Math classes, during the first term. My husband and I felt that he would greatly benefit with some extra help in the way of tutoring.

Once we started searching for tutoring services, we found most places were very rigid in their options. We knew we wanted to have someone come into our home, as opposed to having our son go back into a classroom setting. In my search on the internet, I discovered the Tutor Doctor website. I sent a message to find out more about their services. I was pleased to have a response by the very next day.

Todd Weagle, the franchise owner and education consultant, for the Halifax area, arranged an initial consultation. During the consultation, our son was assessed to find out where his challenges were, as well as, his personality type. This assessment helps to determine what amount of sessions would be beneficial, and more importantly, which of the available tutors would best suit our son.

The service that we have received from Tutor Doctor has been outstanding. The choice of tutor was excellent. Chris, our son's tutor, is very personable, knowledged and creative in his preparation, for each session. We have found an increase in confidence, in our son, which has been shown in his work, attitude, marks and teachers recognition.

We have been pleased with the flexibility of choosing the days and times that fit our family's hectic schedule, as well as, the personal one on one instruction in the privacy of our own home. The payment options have also been tailored to our specific needs and those of our sons. The follow up, by Todd, has ensured our happiness and satisfaction with the level of customer service. In conclusion, we have, and continue to be very pleased with all aspects of our relationship with Tutor Doctor. We have referred, friends of the family to the Tutor Doctor and would highly recommend their tutoring services to any family that is feeling the stress of school challenges with their children. - Kellie Bell.

"The service I receive from Tutor Doctor is fantastic. The tutor they have been sending to my home is professional & polite. Most importantly they are a constant resource that my daughter feels comfortable to approach to help her with homework and studying skills, which prior to working with Tutor Doctor was a constant source of stress and frustration. I have seen her confidence rebuilt and her grades steadily improve. I only wish that I found Tutor Doctor sooner!" - Marisa, parent of Jordie

"Tutor doctor is the best thing that ever happened to my daughter. I only wish I had heard about them sooner my daughter's life would have been less complicated. My daughter went through a difficult period in grade 10 and during that time she missed a concept in Math. Her grades continued to slide downward from then on. She went to the mall one day with her friends; she met Tutor Doctor and brought home a brochure. We love the tutor Tutor Doctor provided. She is professional and oh so competent. Her teaching technique is the ultimate. Since her involvement my daughter's grades went from 40-60% to 90's %." - Irene, parent of Melinda "My son was very frustrated in math. He was really falling behind and he had developed quite a negative attitude towards his math. As a last resort, we decided to try a tutor. I was a little sceptical however, we have been very pleased! I wish we would have called Tutor Doctor a lot sooner. Our tutor is so patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I love how he goes through my son's math assignments and teaches him all the basics that he sees my son is missing in order to properly complete his homework. My son's math mark has improved dramatically and we only started with Tutor Doctor at the end of September. Most importantly, my son has started to enjoy math and I've heard from his teacher that he is participating in class and is very proud to share what he has learned from his tutor during math class. Thank you, Tutor Doctor!" - Annalee, Parent of Christopher

"After making the decision to sit for the GED I set about finding a tutor that would accommodate my busy lifestyle and be sympathetic to the fact that I have been out of the school system for 15 years. I am thrilled to have found Tutor Doctor and be set up with a perfect tutor, who not only takes the time to explain everything simply to me but works around my busy schedule and comes to my home! With Tutor Doctor's help I am feeling confident in reaching my academic goal." - Tracey

Our Difference

If we compare the Tutor Doctor's services to the traditional center-based tutoring operations, the superiority of the in-home, one-on-one tutoring model becomes obvious. The Tutor Doctor Platform matches a highly qualified tutor with a student in the privacy and comfort of their own home. Students prefer this stress-free approach to learning as they can progress at their own pace and are free from peer pressure and the embarrassment they often feel in traditional learning environments. By removing the intimidation and fear of failure, students suddenly become comfortable, confident and eager to learn.

Unlike many tutoring programs that require parents to bring their child to a tutoring center, at Tutor Doctor we provide students with affordable, professional, one-on-one, individualized tutoring services in the comfort of their own home. No longer is a parent's time wasted by dropping off, waiting, and picking up their children from a learning center. As well, parents and students with limited transportation are no longer precluded from enjoying the benefits of extra-curricular learning.

Today's parents also greatly value the flexibility that Tutor Doctor provides. Parents are no longer limited to the times dictated by traditional center-based tutoring companies. Lesson times can be arranged to fit into the hectic family schedule without any difficulty. For many families this also means that extra-curricular activities can be more easily coordinated while the student receives the academic support he or she needs.

Traditional tutoring centers teach through multiple student groups with a set curriculum and little time for individualized instruction or help. The one-on-one instruction provided by Tutor Doctor is superior to this approach. One-on-one learning has been proven to be the very best way to help children who are behind in their studies, discover the learning styles and methods that can help them catch up.

Our tutors also use a student's homework as the core curriculum for helping them succeed in the classrooms. Traditional tutoring centers provide very little individualization as they use set curriculum that's over and above the student's existing homework. This creates a further burden on a child who's already behind, by adding to their overall work load. Contact with a student's current teachers is also important. Traditional tutoring centers generally have no contact with classroom teachers but our tutors are often in regular contact with student's teachers, beginning with a teacher feedback assessment requested for each student. Tutors then work hand-in-hand with a student's teachers to create a tutoring program that is geared towards the student's needs.

Tutor Doctor's services cover all grade levels, from kindergarten to university, and incorporate an understanding of different student learning styles. We even provide tutoring for adults. Each in-home tutoring program is custom-designed to meet the student's specific needs and interests while addressing the underlying foundations of concepts learned. The program fills in missing bricks of academic structure, consolidates that with current expectations, and then moves the student ahead to future requirements.

By working collaboratively with students, parents and teachers, Tutor Doctor tutors provide the best supplemental, personalized instruction along with the motivation and confidence needed to help students succeed. With a growing market need, and such a superior service offering, it isn't difficult to see why parents and students find the Tutor Doctor offering so refreshing.
