“Hi Daphne and Jennyfer. I wanted to thank you for all your help. I am officially done with the statistics and I got a 99.62% grade in statistics. This is the class I feared to most. Thank you God. Jennyfer: your idea writing my last paper worked perfectly. I received all my points. You're an amazing tutor.”

“Very, very impressed with Tutor Doctor of the Central Coast. This is the place when it comes to patient one on one service. Even the most technical and difficult assignments are not beyond their ability. Daphne is the absolute best. She is so patient and runs a great business. The Tutor Doctor is also very active in the community. This is important in a local business. =)”

“Ameer is very calm, patient, and serious and he works well with Reid. They get a lot done and I completely trust Ameer's math skills. He’s also able to work on Cornell Notes and other writing tasks for math.”

“Kaitlin is a great tutor. I think she’s exceptional: smart, patient, kind, a good teacher, and she doesn’t miss anything. She “gets” my child (and she also really understood Miles) and she is very much able to support him and move him forward. She’s also very calm. I really appreciate her attention to every detail in the session: the task, the kid, any distractions, motivations/emotions about the task. challenges… I also think she’s very knowledgeable about English-Language Arts.”

Happy Customer

Tutor Doctor

“It has been a very good thing to have tutors who specialize (English versus math/science) so we can really get down to business. At least for middle/high school, I’m happy with the model of using specialty tutors.”

“We really like Ryan. He's just what we wanted. When we first called, David only had a B in math. Then he had gotten a B in language arts and now he has a B in science. I've been in Stanford a these past couple of days and I'm so glad that we got a tutor. I can't even tell you how much stress it has taken off of me. David seemed to understand the math and has a big report on the Great Wall of china. I asked Ryan if he was able to focus on that. I'm hoping David will bring up his grades back to all A's in due time. Thanks for your help!”

“Identifying exact areas the student is required to improve in for achieving their stated goal so study time is focused on highest priorities of the student which results in no time being wasted reviewing material the student has already mastered. This approach is very efficient and very effective. We appreciate the strong focus on creating full conceptual understanding of the subject being studied.”

“I am so indebted to Daphne (owner) of the Salinas Tutor Doctor office. My son is a second year student at CSUMB, and he used a math tutor for most of the year last year and again this year. On both occasions, I contacted Daphne when my son needed a tutor "yesterday" ie with urgency. She explained that it's often difficult to find the "right" tutor without adequate notice (so understandable), but she did. She absolutely went out of her way to accommodate us, and in both instances, she found awesome tutors. Although there are many options to find tutors online or from a job board, it is valuable to me that the tutors my son has worked/is working with have had backround checks and are held accountable for their professionalism, ability, and dependability. I appreciate that Daphne is accessible to me/my son to help in any way that she can. I am a business owner and verbalized to Daphne the other day that it's SO refreshing to work with her - someone who is so conscientious and in this scenario, really understands a parent's perspective/concern in wanting to have the best for the child while simultaneously running such a top notch business. I live out of the area, and although my son is in college, he is still my "child", and I feel so comforted that Daphne has his best interests in mind and is truly watching out for him by doing what she can to help him be successful in this tutoring experience. I cannot say enough "good" about our experience; 5 stars many times over!”

I do have to brag on Mr. Joey too :) He has such a drive to learn and to move forward. He'd work 24 hours a day on this if he could!! We're very proud of him. And I talked to Joey's teacher Ms. Reding to update her on our work with you guys. She loves that we have a tutor and she's ready to discuss progress and priorities anytime. Thanks!”

I made a call to Tutor Doctor told them what i needed to accomplish. They visited my office we talked and we were off and running. Long story short, it helped me at work and home. Yea Tutor Doctor.

“I have seen nothing but improvement in my daughter’s reading and comprehension skills. She has also excelled in her math. I truly believe that tutor doctor has been a huge part in her increased abilities. I hope to continue using the tutor doctor services throughout her continuing education to allow her to continue to grow in understanding, analyzing, and comprehension of all educational needs to stay ahead and not fall behind in her increasing educational needs.”

“Tutor Doctor’s flexibility and timely feedback along with their excellent tutors is why we’ve remained with them. By the way, Walker is the best. Ali and I love him; he is a great teacher. Professional tutors and great results I'm my student's academics.”

Joy M.

Tutor Doctor

“The tutors are prepared at each lesson, they got detailed information into exactly what was needed to accomplish their end goal and every week I get a detailed summary as to what they worked on and where they will be focusing their attention in the following week. They were able to identify my son's weaknesses and help him to understand why he was having difficulty in that specific area. I have seen a dramatic improvement in his ability to move through all of the SAT practice tests and He continues to make improvements in all areas. Both tutors have given him strategies not only for the SAT, but to apply to all of his tests and essays. This has been a wonderful experience and my son looks forward to each session! She provided him with strategies on how to take the test and manage his time in order to complete the test with the best possible score. Her encouragement helped him feel prepared and confident about taking the SAT. I think that confidence is what helped him succeed. We were overjoyed with his results! Kara's lessons did not end with the SAT. Though we no longer used Kara on a weekly basis, we noticed that my son's writing improved dramatically in his English class throughout the following semester. During the summer, my son needed to write his personal statements for his college applications and was having a difficult time expressing himself within the parameters given. He had to describe life experiences in 2500 characters or less. Again, we called upon Kara to help guide him in refining his essays. Through Kara's guidance, my son's confidence in his ability to express himself was greatly increased; this also prepared him to communicate those life experiences in interviews. Writing is a fundamental skill that my son will need throughout his life to be successful and with just one day a week Kara has turned my son into a confident writer. I can't thank her enough for all that she has done! She has been a blessing to our family! Respectfully, Richelle D.”

Mandy A.

“We appreciate the high quality of your tutor. Not only was she able to teach the subject but she was able to connect with Brian. He did not like math and did not think he was good at it. He is now confident and likes math. He is excited to take more math classes. She brought his grade from failing to a B+. I wish we had done this sooner.”

“As a result of Bella's tutor, she now has a solid foundation in math. Ms. Kaitlyn always comes extremely prepared with manipulatives that she has made in order to relate to Bella's learning style. Bella is building confidence in math and always looks forward to her tutor sessions. In addition, my daughter's teacher provides Ms. Kaitlyn with math concepts prior to her teaching them in class, allowing Bella an opportunity to work with her tutor to grasp the concept in a learning style that is beneficial to her. Kaitlyn is an excellent tutor! Thank you!”

Mother of 2nd grader

“We are very happy with Daryl. He is a wonderful tutor and relates to Matt very well. He is able to explain things in a way that Matt can understand. When Matt doesn't understand something at first, Daryl is very patient and uses another method to help Matt work through a problem. Matt is doing so much better in Algebra, because of his time with Daryl. He actually understands what he is learning now and is much less frustrated. I'm sure that Matt would have failed Algebra, as he had a 47 average. I am fairly confident that in this relatively short amount of time he will pull his grade up to a C or better by the end of January. Thanks for your help.”

“We hired Steve and we had our first tutoring session today. It was fantastic. Steve handled the whole process beautifully and the tutor was on time, and more important... my son thinks she's fantastic. If you have a student struggling in a subject, PLEASE save your marriage and your sanity and call Steve. And I swear, this is an unsolicited testimonial.”

“We just received her report card & had parent-teacher interviews this morning. Her teachers have said in the past few weeks she has done a complete turnaround! They can't believe it's the same little girl that started the year off with them. We are SO very PROUD of her. Tiyana has built some confidence in her which in turn has caused her to begin to interact in class discussions. Thank you for this. Her report card this term was the BEST one she has EVER had in her 3 1/2 years of school. Again, thank you. This is just what our little girl needed.”

Patrick's sessions with Tyler have given our grandson a new sense of confidence in his abilities and a more solid foundation in math and language in the classroom. We tried several other programs and have found yours to be far and away the best. We thank you and Patrick and look forward to continued improvement in Tyler's work over the coming months.”

“This is just a note to let you know how pleased we are with your services. Tutor Doctor matched our daughter with one of their professional tutors perfectly. This tutor has helped our 15 year old daughter to use principles created for her specific learning style, that will not only carry her through high school & college, but well into life as an adult. We appreciate the integrity and knowledge that Tutor Doctor and our tutor has brought into our weekly sessions. I don't know how our daughter would have been able to continue on in the 9th. grade without the assistance she has received because she was missing many concepts that would allow her to successfully continue. Now with all the knowledge she has received, I know that she is going to be successful in all she tries to accomplish. Thank you Tutor Doctor and our tutor for all you have done for our family.”

“As far as some feedback regarding Jeff tutoring, I will say that it is going very well! Olivia has warmed up to Jeff a lot. I was so afraid that things would be really difficult because the very first session was a nightmare!! Olivia was very unreceptive of the idea of being tutored but after that first initial meeting all has gone VERY smoothly! Jeff seems to be a very patient teacher and he and Olivia work very well together. I do think that you found us a good match with Jeff and he's been doing great work with Olivia. I look forward to the tutoring sessions because I know that Olivia is getting very good help in the areas that she struggles with. The extra help has made an improvement on Olivia's overall attitude towards her school work and I am very pleased. Thanks so much Jerry and hope you have a great day!! -Michelle, Parent of Olivia, North York, Ontario We got his report card yesterday. Second quarter two Bs and 2 Cs and really wonderful comments!!! I will make a copy for Katie and she can share it with you. Just beautiful.”

“I looked at various tutoring companies, but one that stood out the most was Tutor Doctor. With its great reputation and friendly franchise representatives, it wasn't a very hard choice. Tutoring has been a great experience for me, and in many different ways. I have really enjoyed meeting an assortment of different people, both parents and children, and getting welcomed into their homes with smiles and excitement. I have greatly benefited from the extensive traveling to different students as it gave me a chance to get to know the city more. The extra income has been very beneficial, especially for someone living away from parents and the financial security they can sometimes provide. However, most importantly, I feel that I have really grown as a human being. I have developed an extremely strong level of patience, and have greatly fine-tuned my communication skills. I am confident that the wisdom that I garnered from being a tutor for Tutor Doctor will follow me for the rest of my days.”

I knew that my son needed help in preparing for the SAT, but I wasn't really sure what a tutor could do with one day a week. Kara took that one day a week to review and discuss writing prompts and samples that she would assign my son to write during the week. She provided him with strategies on how to take the test and manage his time in order to complete the test with the best possible score.

Morgan was very excited and pleased but also said that she would like to take it again and try to bring her Math score up. Tony, thank you so much for teaching and encouraging Morgan. You really pushed her and she was very dedicated and motivated. We may be calling you again. Kara, thank you for all the insight you provided with reading, writing and vocabulary. Your knowledge and pointers were very helpful. Fortunately for Morgan, she has always excelled in reading and writing and it shows in these scores. Daphne, I am so pleased that Richelle recommended Tutor Doctor. I am pleased with your program and your tutors. You may be hearing from me again soon. Best to you all and thank you once again for all the help you provided to Morgan! Morgan will be taking the SAT subject tests on June 1st.”

“We like the initial meeting of the program administrator and her evaluation of our student. We feel this is critical to get a good match with a tutor who has the interpersonal and tutorial skills to connect our student who has special education needs. The tutor we had for U.S. History and Biology courses had a wealth of other educational resources online for these subjects. She also helped our student organize his materials so he was able to access his notes and study guides. We believe Tutor Doctor hires well-qualified and professional individuals to be tutors.”

Claire R.

“2011-We have and will continue to recommend Tutor Doctor to our friends. We LOVE our tutor. Tony is brilliant, patient, and extremely thorough. Our son has always been an honor student, and Tony helps keep him on track and helps him reach his goals. His trig grade had begun to slip when we found Tutor Doctor, and in no time our son was back on track for mid-terms and aced his exam. Having a tutor come to our home at our convenience makes it easy in our busy lives and the busy, active life of our son. We are now prepping for SATs and will continue to use Tutor Doctor for the duration of our son's high school career. Thank you for all you've done for our son! 2012- Kara is great. Even above her work with Robert, what's most impressive to me about her is her off-tutor time. She put together tools for him to help him prepare. She put together models to test how he rationalizes his way through exams. She spent time (like Tony always did) looking for tools to use with his specific textbook. She made quizzes for him and taught him to HIS learning style. She had him draw diagrams to double-check what they'd learned together. She spent time with ME after their session, discussing where his strengths and weaknesses are, and how I can help him better. She is really great for him. He's a tough personality--he doesn't work well with people he thinks are slackers. He will TUNE OUT. But his BIG hot button is insincerity. He has an insincerity meter in his brain. If he thought for a moment that she wasn't all in, he would check out. He thinks she's FABULOUS. Just like he feels about Tony. We appreciate the quality of the tutors you've sent to us. Tony and Kara are truly unique individuals sincere to helping kids understand. They clearly enjoy what they do, and the kids can tell. When Robert didn't do well on his exam, Kara took it personally and has been working to understand how she can help him better. Thank you for all you've done.”

“We really do appreciate how professional and proactive you both are in supporting Brielle with her Math and in providing awesome tutoring. Brielle is really happy with Kendra and her style of teaching, which is of course, HUGE. Thanks again and we look forward to continuing with the tutoring session as they seem to be helping Brielle gain more confidence and I am sure will help with her overall retention and understanding of algebra. I would love for her to at least not fear Math and move forward with an open mind, which I am cautiously optimistic will be the end result, we will see.”

“When we met with Daphne she was very friendly and easy to talk to. She understood what we as a family were looking for our son Quintin and he also felt very comfortable with Daphne. Our tutor Doug is so amazing. Quintin thinks he is a genius! He works so well with Quintin and really helps him understand and won't move on to anything else until he feels Quintin understands that certain subject. We are very happy with the improvement of Quintin's participation in class, his work, grades and his teachers are also giving positive remarks. Thank you Tutor Doctor =)”

“Ashley is beaming with pride now that her grade has improved, and she understands the concepts being taught. She works best with the 1 on 1 support. Kendra has done an excellent job nurturing Ashley's independent personality and using her strengths to gain confidence in the math skills she does possess. When homework is complete and time allows, reviewing past concepts would benefit Ashley's memory retention skills.”

“Tutor Doctor has been a life saver for us! What I especially love about Tutor Doctor is that we've been able to get great help very quickly! The tutors are able to come to our home at our convenience. So far we've met three tutors, each one an expert in their respective subjects. At one point last year, my child was several weeks behind in Geometry and had a deadline not only to complete the work, but to prepare for the final. It was a very stressful time for us. Vivienne came to the rescue and was able to catch her up quickly...and she got a solid B on her final! This year another child of mine needed some extra help before taking the SSAT test. Elizabeth met with her for four sessions and helped her brush up for each section of the test. She gave my child confidence as well as a great review that I know helped her on test day. I have recommended Tutor Doctor to several of my friends already and have heard nothing but great success stories...so much so that they have also recommended Tutor Doctor to their friends! P.S. We are using our extra hours to get some coaching in writing. We met Jeannene this evening and at this moment, I can clearly hear how engaged my child is in her instruction. Thank you, Daphne and Tutor Doctor! A++ with bonus stickers!”

“We received Oliver's SSAT results. He did a tremendous job in Math. Please let Tony know how pleased we are with the results!! We may want to resume with tutoring in March. If you don't hear from me, please feel free to call in late February.”

“Your work with Jasmine has been extremely helpful and she is doing very well! She scored a 91% and 99% on her last two cumulative tests in Language Arts. Generally, her math is very strong. I have discovered the same thing...if she misses a problem it's typically because she didn't read it carefully and not because she does not understand it. She received a score of "proficient" on her last 4 writing assignments. Overall, she is scoring proficient or advanced in every subject. I do not have any areas of "concern" for Jasmine. However, it still does take her a long time to complete assignments. From my observations, this is just the pace she works at. She is not losing time to meticulousness or distraction. The writing program this year emphasizes three things: proper capitalization (beginning of sentences and proper nouns), punctuation, and descriptive language. Our main focus has been on writing a paragraph. The students are currently writing 5 sentence paragraphs but the actual requirement is only 3 sentences. I hope this helps! Thanks again for all of the excellent work you are doing with Jasmine.”

“Brent is doing great. Tutoring has really helped. He still needs help and needs to continue to improve in math facts/speed (and probably always will) but he is getting there! His last groups of papers were definitely an improvement. Jeannene Blocker has been an excellent tutor for our son! She is always on time and prepared. He has passed his Hall of Fame math facts in his class thanks to her. His self-esteem has improved as his grades go up! I wish we had started using Tutor Doctor sooner! Thanks a lot! Great fan of your program!!!”

“I want to sincerely thank you for spending so much of your time going over your program so thoroughly with me. As an educator I can easily say that if my child was struggling in school I would have the utmost confidence with Tutor Doctor. I will also refer my neighbors, friends, and anyone else looking for a tutor to you. I truly believe it is a quality intervention that you offer. Thank you again and I wish you the best with your growing company. I know it will continue to be a success.”

“We were happy with his progress over the summer, and feel that Amy helped him improve reading comprehension, reading skills and paragraph construction. His spelling is still a problem (but we feel that it did improve) and we will continue to work on that. This year he is in third grade and his teacher is Mrs. Torres. We have already spoken to her to have Billy evaluated early in the school year so that if she feels he needs extra work, that we can come back to Tutor Doctor to continue. Thanks to Amy and Tutor Doctor for a successful summer.”

“Since we began tutoring on December 13, Dakota has improved by leaps and bounds in Algebra and Science. Her original state was running panicked from one test to the next, turning in unfinished homework as a result of procrastination, and scoring D's and occasional F's on her tests. We have made such progress in her study skills as a whole, that she now studies HERSELF on a daily basis, and feels much more confident about testing. Her improvement at test prep has even overflowed into her other classes, especially Grammar, which stressed her out significantly when we first met, and now seem simple and routine. Also, she now has the tools and understanding to OVERCOME her obstacles in Math, instead of just giving up on them. Naturally, we have also covered much actual material, from physics formulas and chemistry equations to polynomial division and trinomial factoring. But even more impressive, we have improved Dakota's METHOD of learning. She is much more self-reliant and responsible, has no fear of new Science and Algebra concepts, and tests are no longer the bane of her existence. A great improvement from my perspective. All grades are A's and B's now.”

“Paula was stressed out and afraid she'd be prevented from walking in her 8th grade ceremony as she was receiving an F in Algebra. We enrolled her the first week of April and in the first week of May received the email form her mother "Update.... Paula now has an A average in math! Thank you sooo much. Thank you so very much. You helped us turn what could have been a very horrible ending to P's middle school experience into a truly wonderful and memorable period for all. I'm certain this summer will fly right by, so we'll speak soon!”

“I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you in regards to my daughters amazing progress in school since starting with Tutor Doctor. Dakota has only been with her tutor for two months and already her test scores in grammar, science and history have gone from D's and F's to high A's. Her overall grades are now strong B's and A's. Your careful selection of matching the right tutor to the student was spot on. Dakota looks forward to her time with her tutor, Vivian. My daughter is totally engaged during her sessions and now truly understands the material of the subjects, instead of just guessing and it going in one ear and out the other. I feel she is finally retaining the information and is actually enjoying what she is learning. Her confidence level is through the roof and she feels she is very capable of achieving great success as a student. She is learning ways of studying and organization that is making her more proactive and self-motivated, skills that will follow her for a life time. As a parent I am thrilled to see my daughter thriving and blossoming, no longer do we have arguments over her test scores. What a relief. Our relationship has improved dramatically; I do not feel like I have to worry as much anymore. Yay!! It is the best money spent and we will continue to use Tutor Doctor for years to come.”

“Just wanted to let you know that the girls truly like Vivian, and better fit. I really like the way Vivian took charge and knew her Spanish and helped Kaari and made corrections to Kaari's Spanish dictation. Thanks for keeping me in the loop! Good to know that the study guide was for review only...that means we more than covered it. :) Ashley said she got an A+ on her science vocab quiz we studied for! Annissa and I were thrilled!”

“Hi Daph, I can't tell you enough how excited the girls are with Joyce. I understand WHY she is so popular she is amazing!! If she can't do every week I understand but we are (the girls) are willing / eager to have her whenever her schedule can accommodate us. Just let us know who might be here next week & the girls will be ready. Joyce is so fast paced, when she sees you have it she's on to the next. Kaari was actually laughing which she never does until she's comfortable with someone. She is so VERY professional also. --"OMG she it like a 110x better (then her last tutor), I love her mom. " said Ashley, "She so cool" said Kaari. Well there you have it. Can we keep her?? Thanks Daph I know this is going to one of Ashley's best year.”

“From what Andrew is saying, he had very good sessions with Richard. He was so proud last Wednesday, came home after school with an "HONORS" award. Both Andrew and Alex received this award for the first trimester. We notice a big change with Andrew's confidence especially when working on his homework. Usually, he'd be whining about how difficult the homework is, but now he will just sit down quietly and complete them on his own with very minimal assistance from anybody at home.”

“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 the Tutor Doctor. From the very first's 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.”

“We are very happy with our experience to date with our son's tutor, Ryan. We were not sure what to expect when we signed on, but Ryan is very conscientious and relates extremely well with our son, Bryce. They have really made a connection. We notice that Bryce actually looks forward to his time with Ryan and gets his supplies together and sits down at the table as soon as Ryan comes to the door. The help Ryan has given him seems to make Bryce much more confident when working on his school assignments, and has led to achieving better grades. Previously, when working with us, Bryce usually procrastinated and avoided his homework as long as possible. He actually now stays after school to work on assignments and projects if needed something we have never seen in the past.”

“Thank you Tutor Doctor! Upon first contact with Roxanne, a Tutor Doctor Education Consultant, I was impressed with her personable and professional approach towards helping figure out how best to meet my daughter's tutoring needs. We have loved the fact that the tutor comes to our home - an absolute luxury within our hectic daily schedules. He is always punctual, professional and is an excellent listener. The tutor is clearly very knowledgeable and competent in his ability to help my daughter better grasp mathematical concepts with which she has been struggling. At the end of each session, he always provides me with a summary of the tutoring session and offers my daughter encouragement. At the end of every session my daughter has commented that, 'things make much more sense now". She has greatly appreciated the tutor's patient and creative approach! We highly recommend Tutor Doctor to anyone seeking tutoring services!”

Evelyn

Tutor Doctor

“Class studies move so quickly these days and it is sometimes difficult for kids to grasp certain concepts, especially in Math, in such short time frames. Our daughter needed an extra boost in Math and we found it challenging to help her since teaching styles and techniques have changed so much since we were in school. We decided to seek out the experts. We found Tutor Doctor at a local Health Fair. They matched our daughter with a certified teacher who is highly qualified and familiar with the current curriculum. The tutor provides summaries of what they did in each session and what to expect from the next session. Improvements were seen within two weeks when our daughter made high marks on her Math test at school. We are extremely pleased with the Tutor Doctor's services and business practices that we recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their child's academic performance.”

“We would really like to acknowledge Jill. She has been more than we could have even wished for! She is extremely good at her job, she is kind and patient, and has found a connection with Nicholas that goes beyond better grades. She has become someone that he looks forward to seeing, someone with whom he shares his good and bad moments from school. He looks up to her, and her sound advice helps him to tackle some of these issues. Basically, not only is Jillian teaching him academically, but she is also teaching him socially. She is an all-around great influence. (She has a warm spot in all of our hearts!) We are very grateful for her and your wisdom of placing her with us.”

“I want to tell you how much I appreciated all your efforts to arrange for tutors for my grandson, Matthew, a sophomore. The fact that you were able to arrange within 1 day tutors that were extremely competent in a difficult subject (Organic Chemistry), were flexible with their hours to accommodate Matthews schedule and were pleasant to work with was simply amazing. Thanks to your responsiveness and caring to Matthew, he did excellent on his finals and got a good grade for the year. Looking forward to working with you next semester.”

“Tutor Dr has helped us so much! Having 4 kids (one being a new baby) I could no longer manage homework by myself. We are now much more on top of things. So far- totally satisfied. The only reason I give it a 9 and not a 10 is because quite honestly I know that many families couldn't afford it....however, for reliability/professionalism/support it has been great.”

Melanie G.

Tutor Doctor

“The high quality of your tutor. Not only was she able to teach the subject but she was able to connect with Brian. He did not like math and did not think he was good at it. He is now confident and likes math. He is excited to take more math classes. She brought his grade from failing to a B+. I wish we had done this sooner.”

Madalyn has helped my children with their confidence in there reading. Even the teachers have noticed and asked where they can get a hold of Madalyn so they can recommend her to other parents. We will keep her as long as we can. :) Dr. Laura McCreary”

“Tutor Doctor has been a very positive experience for my son. He has been improving very rapidly as a result of the exceptional tutor chosen for him.

“The tutor's are prepared at each lesson, they got detailed information into exactly what was needed to accomplish their end goal and every week I get a detailed summary as to what they worked on and where they will be focusing there attention in the following week. They were able to identify my son's weakness' and help him to understand why he was having difficulty in that specific area. I have seen a dramatic improvement in his ability to move through all of the SAT practice tests and He continues to make improvements in all areas. Both tutors have given him strategies not only for the SAT, but to apply to all of his tests and essays. This has been a wonderful experience and my son looks forward to each session!”

Richelle D.

Tutor Doctor

“We like the initial meeting of the program administrator and her evaluation of our student. We feel this is critical to get a good match with a tutor who has the interpersonal and tutorial skills to connect our student who has special education needs. The tutor we had for U.S. History and Biology courses had a wealth of other educational resources online for these subjects. She also helped our student organize his materials so he was able to access his notes and study guides. We believe Tutor Doctor hires well-qualified and professional individuals to be tutors.”

Claire R.

“We have and will continue to recommended Tutor Doctor to our friends. We LOVE our tutor. Tony is brilliant, patient, and extremely thorough. Our son has always been an honor student, and Tony helps keep him on track and helps him reach his goals. His trig grade had begun to slip when we found Tutor Doctor, and in no time our son was back on track for mid-terms and aced his exam. Having a tutor come to our home at our convenience makes it easy in our busy lives and the busy, active life of our son. We are now prepping for SATs and will continue to use Tutor Doctor for the duration of our son's high school career. Thank you for all you've done for our son!”

“When we met with Daphne she was very friendly and easy to talk to. She understood what we as a family were looking for our son Quintin and he also felt very comfortable with Daphne. Our tutor Doug is so amazing. Quintin thinks he is a genius! He works so well with Quintin and really helps him understand and won't move on to anything else until he feels Quintin understands that certain subject. We are very happy with the improvement of Quintin's participation in class, his work,grades and his teachers are also giving positive remarks. Thank you Tutor Doctor=)”

“The Tutor Doctor has many tutors to choose from and will make the best recommondations based on the information provided about your child. If you are not completely satisfied with your tutor you may request another one. Not every child is going to mold immediately with a new tutor, which is what we found. Once we got the right person for my daughter's personality and learning style the school work was completed and a learning curve was gained.”
