Tutor Doctor is a leader in providing affordable, one-on-one, supplementary education to students and adults through offering in-home tutoring to families. Our experienced and highly-trained tutors are available to provide assistance to students of all ages and in every level of study, from kindergarten to graduate work, and take a compassionate, hands-on approach to learning. We proudly serve the entire Long Island area, including the communities of Huntington, Plainview, Syosset, Merrick, Bellmore, Jericho, Hicksville, Commack, etc. In addition, all our tutors undergo thorough background checks and have demonstrated high levels of success in their chosen areas of study.
We understand that although each student in the classroom may receive the same instruction, not every student learns in the same way, leaving no mystery as to why some students inevitably fall behind. Our experienced team of professionals works to correct that through the use of one-on-one learning sessions personalized for that student's educational goals, strengths, weaknesses, and style of learning.
With the help of a compassionate, friendly tutor, you can rediscover the joy in learning new skills, being introduced to new ideas, and expanding your horizons.

Testimonials
"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, Age 16
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.
Association
NTA - National Tutor Association
NTA's mission is to foster the advancement of professional and peer tutoring, support research into best practices and standards for all tutors, support tutor training, advocate for tutor certification, and uphold the NTA Code of Ethics. As such the NTA is not a private tutorial agency and does not accept students for tutorial study. The NTA is not a sanctioning or arbitration agency.
IFA - International Franchise Association
The International Franchise Association, founded in 1960, is a membership organization of franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers. The International Franchise Association Code of Ethics is intended to establish a framework for the implementation of best practices in the franchise relationships of IFA members. The Code represents the ideals to which all IFA members agree to subscribe in their franchise relationships. The Code is one component of the IFA's self-regulation program, which also includes the IFA Ombudsman and revisions to the IFA bylaws that will streamline the enforcement mechanism for the Code. The Code is not intended to anticipate the solution to every challenge that may arise in a franchise relationship, but rather to provide a set of core values that are the basis for the resolution of the challenges that may arise in franchise relationships. Also the Code is not intended to establish standards to be applied by third parties, such as the courts, but to create a framework under which IFA and its members will govern themselves. The IFA's members believe that adherence to the values expressed in the IFA Code will result in healthy, productive, and mutually beneficial franchise relationships. The Code, like franchising, is dynamic and may be revised to reflect the most current developments in structuring and maintaining franchise relationships.
CFA - Canadian Franchise Association
The Canadian Franchise Association represents over 400 franchise companies and the professionals who support the franchise industry. The CFA represents all regions of the country, and promotes a strong code of ethics as well as the mandatory use of the CFA disclosure document guide. In signing on as a CFA member, franchisors agree to give potential franchisees all the information they require to make a viable business decision.
