Tutor Doctor Celebrating 7 years of Tutor Doctor in Reading Mark and Jo Butler of Tutor Doctor have been providing tutors for families and schools in Reading since 2014. In May this year they marked 7 years in business. detailed consultations we offer to families, we are able to ensure that the right tutor is in place each and every time. Jo adds: ‘High quality professional tuition can be the key to better grades in school. Results are vital of course, but it’s the added confidence and enjoyment of learning we see in the children we teach that gives us the greatest thrill.’
Nominated for a prestigious British Franchise Award Mark and Jo Butler launched their Reading based tutoring business in May 2014. In those seven years they have been nominated for national awards, have been recognised as the largest franchise in the company’s network and are known as Reading’s number one tutoring company.
Mark, Jo and their team provide excellent tutors for our children. We have used them for 6 years now with both our children, from age 12-18 and 11-15 years old. They provide prompt service when you are looking for a tutor and listen carefully to you to help match the right tutor for your child's needs. I really recommend them.
Mark was previously in the creative and media industry while Jo had been a State Registered Podiatrist. Mark says: ‘This was a dramatic change in direction for both of us. We wanted to create a business that would make a difference in the local community. It’s been an amazing seven years and the number of lives we have impacted in that time has been incredible.’ To put this into numbers, Mark and Jo have tutored close to 1,600 students since they began and have provided work for over 900 tutors locally.
I have been using Tutor Doctor Reading for over 3 years. Mark visited us and had a long chat with my son about his educational needs and since then his team have been providing teachers for various subjects. The matching has been excellent and the teachers have all been very good. Most importantly the tutoring has improved my son's scores and made him more confident. Money well spent – Kudos to Mark and his team; will recommend them any time.
And there is more to come, as Jo explains: ‘The company has expanded into Surrey and now covers Reading, Maidenhead, Wokingham, Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and Kingston. We have an excellent track record as our students achieve great marks in SATS, GCSEs and A-Levels, and we have supported many students as they prepare for 11+ and School Entrance Exams.’ Additionally, Jo is very excited by the Tutor Doctor Bursary. ‘We created this to support less able and disadvantaged students. The bursary funds tuition for three post-16 students as they continue their education into the sixth form, hopefully providing a platform for them to go to university or find an excellent apprenticeship as they begin their career.’ Happy seventh birthday to Mark and Jo and their Tutor Doctor business. They have supported many local families in their first seven years and are keen to multiply that number in the next seven. Find them at tutordoctor.co.uk or call 0118 449 2191.

This is achieved by carefully recruiting every single tutor so we know their specific skills and approach to teaching. Coupled with the Please mention rg10 when responding to advertisements
