Tutor Doctor Phoenix, Avondale

Now an international franchise of in-home education, Tutor Doctor was founded about 10 years ago on the principle of pupil-tailored programs that remove the classroom's barriers to success. Twenty-five-year education veteran and pastor Bill Davies heads the Phoenix division. By prioritizing a student's unique struggles over any particular curriculum and adopting an exclusively one-on-one approach, the house-callers help kids from grade school to college with math, the language arts, and standardized-test preparation. Whether demystifying the sciences or providing advanced abacus skills, the tutors take a personalized approach more efficacious than classroom environs. Specialists on staff pay equal attention to the needs of special-needs learners, including those with ADHD, autism, or bipolar disorder.
