Reading Doctor Branch Owners

As a Reading Doctor branch owner, you will have your very own territory, a comprehensive set-up of your home teaching hub, complete with bespoke resources and full training. Reading Doctor branch owners work from their homes, offering face-to-face or online tuition for struggling readers. There is also the opportunity to take the intervention into schools and run your own Reading Doctor School Hub.

This is a ‘Business in a Box’ offering. We take care of the key aspects of running your own business, such as; managing your page on our website, setting up of social media, email and GMB (Google My Business) and access to our library of design and promotional materials. We even have a virtual HQ, with our group of experienced branch owners, who are always willing to support and advise new Reading Doctors. CPD is incorporated into this network, with regular meetups online and in person.
