About Tutor Doctor
Personalised, high-quality tuition for schools and local authorities — delivered by local teams who are accountable, responsive, and invested in every student.
Every Student Deserves the Right Support
Tutor Doctor’s mission is to change the trajectory of students’ lives. For us, that means making sure every pupil — whatever their circumstances or starting point — gets the consistent, high-quality support they need to re-engage with education and make meaningful progress.
Every referral represents a young person who needs something different. They may have stopped attending school, have a diagnosis that mainstream education hasn’t accommodated, be in care and moving between placements, or simply be a Year 11 student running out of time.
What they have in common is that standard provision hasn’t worked — or isn’t available. Schools and councils come to us because they’re trying to do right by these young people. So are we. That shared commitment is where every good partnership begins.
A Provider You Can Count On
When schools and councils commission external support, the questions are usually the same: will they handle safeguarding properly, will they communicate when something changes, and will we have visibility of whether the support is working?
Because when the processes work properly, students get the consistency and safety they need to build confidence and make meaningful progress.
Our safeguarding policy was developed in collaboration with the NSPCC.
Every tutor goes through full Safer Recruitment.
When a concern is raised — however small — someone with authority acts immediately.
Sessions are tracked in real time and attendance is reported daily.
Progress is defined and reviewed from the first session.
A Personalised Approach to Student Support
No two students require exactly the same support. Some pupils may need short-term academic intervention to close learning gaps or prepare for exams. Others may require a longer-term programme that supports confidence, engagement, or reintegration into education.
Through carefully matched tutors and a personalised approach tailored to each student, Tutor Doctor works alongside schools and local authorities to help remove barriers to learning so pupils can build confidence, re-engage with education, and make meaningful progress.
Understand
We take time to understand the student — their educational needs, circumstances, and what the school or council needs from the programme.
Plan
We develop an Individual Learning Plan (ILP), aligned to EHCP targets where applicable, and agree reporting format and cadence with you from the outset.
Match
We match the student to the right tutor based on subject knowledge, experience, and the right fit for their specific needs.
Support
We stay involved throughout, adapting the programme as needs change and keeping your team informed at every stage.
The Tutor Doctor Difference
Every school and local authority we work with has different pressures, priorities, and students. Our approach is built around one consistent commitment: a local team that stays directly involved, moves quickly when it matters, and remains invested in your students throughout.
We're Accountable.
When you work with Tutor Doctor, there's always a named person responsible for your school's programme — someone who knows your students, understands your priorities, and is directly reachable when something changes.
We're Responsive.
Schools and councils need support that moves at their pace. Enquiries are answered the same day, placements are typically arranged within days, and if a student's circumstances change mid-programme, our local teams adapt quickly.
We're Invested.
We attend reviews, adapt programmes as circumstances change, and stay involved for as long as a school needs us. Some of our partnerships have run for over a decade — because that kind of continuity makes a real difference to the students who need it most.
National Reach with Local Accountability
Tutor Doctor combines national infrastructure with locally delivered support, giving schools and local authorities direct access to responsive teams who remain involved throughout each programme.
