Local Partnerships Empower Vulnerable Students

How Tutor Doctor Franchisees Partner with Local Initiatives to Support Vulnerable Students

Tutor Doctor Cambridge is pushing the boundaries of education by offering a unique approach to support vulnerable students. In partnership with the Cambridge Sports Development Foundation, Rob and Lynne Kerrison have launched an innovative learning hub that combines personalized tutoring with sports coaching. This initiative is designed to support children who need it the most, giving them the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally.

“What we’re doing here isn’t just tutoring. It’s about building trust, developing life skills, and creating a space where children feel safe to grow, learn, and believe in themselves again,” says Rob Kerrison.

This partnership is a perfect example of Tutor Doctor's commitment to making education more accessible and effective for students from all backgrounds - and a clear demonstration of how franchisees can take the core model and adapt it to the unique opportunities and needs within their local communities.

The Role of Tutor Doctor’s Systems and Support

With Tutor Doctor’s robust systems - including marketing support and a built-in CRM - Rob and Lynne were able to streamline operations and focus their energy where it matters most: supporting their students and serving their community.

The Results

Diversified Service Offering - With the support of Tutor Doctor’s B2B model, Rob and Lynne expanded their services beyond private, in-home tutoring to include contracts with schools, charities, and local initiatives - broadening their business scope and market reach.

Stabilised & Scalable Revenue - This diversification introduced new, recurring revenue streams that complemented their core business and reduced seasonal fluctuations.

Local Market Differentiation - By tailoring their offering to meet local needs, they established a clear competitive advantage in their region and enhanced their reputation as a go-to educational partner.

Franchise Model Adaptability - Their success demonstrates how Tutor Doctor’s systems empower franchisees to adapt the model locally.

Rob and Lynne Kerrison have demonstrated exceptional vision and commitment in expanding Tutor Doctor Cambridge. Their ability to adapt the model to serve local needs stands as a powerful example of what’s possible within the Tutor Doctor network.
