Tutor Doctor

Anyone got any experience of them?

Got a quote from Tutor Doctor. They want the best part of £900 for 24 hours worth of tutoring. This was just a little more than we were expecting!

Also...I can't find really find any independent reviews of them online. If they are worth it that's one thing but that's a lot of money if they aren't up to scratch!

Personally I wouldn't go anywhere those asking for money upfront for tutoring. Try and find a school teacher who is up-to-date with the new curriculum and won't force up on your child a strict number of hours of tutoring.
The quote you received is on a fixed 24hrs contract: 24hrs X 1 hour per week, take away half-term holidays, bank holidays, etc and your child will be tutored the entire academic year! Is this what your child really need?

Try an independent tutor group, most of TH goes to the middleman, the tutors do not get much so this can affect motivation. You could get a better deal with Tutor Hunt for example

We use Tutor Doctor. You can pay for a variable number of hours upfront, cheaper the more you pay for. We then use them as and when. So we don’t use ours in holidays. We were sent the CVs of a few tutors and then chose which one was most suited. She is a current teacher and is good with the kids and clearly does prep before the classes. It is really expensive though and I am sure if I put the donkey work in that I could find a tutor of a similar quality without paying over the odds. However it works for us at the moment.
