Tutor Doctor Carolyn Graham

We dive into a conversation highlighting the critical state of education post-pandemic and the unique journey of Carolyn Graham into the world of tutoring with Tutor Doctor. Carolyn starts by shedding light on a concerning statistic: only 36% of U.S. students began the school year on track, emphasizing the significant role tutoring plays in bridging this gap. Her transition from a seasoned educator to a franchise owner of Tutor Doctor is driven by a desire to stay connected to education while being closer to family in Michigan. Tutor Doctor's appeal lies in its local ownership coupled with a global presence, offering Carolyn the perfect blend of community involvement and corporate support.

The core of our discussion revolves around the Tutor Doctor's mission: to provide personalized tutoring services across all grades and subjects, including specialized exams and college-level courses. Success stories, like a fifth-grader reaching grade-level reading and a college student conquering statistics, underscore the impact of tailored tutoring. Tutor Doctor's approach is comprehensive, from hiring college-educated tutors to offering executive functioning programs that address organizational skills critical for academic success.

Carolyn also highlights the importance of community and connections, sharing her positive experiences with the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce. This network has not only supported her business but also fostered personal relationships and shared knowledge beneficial for any entrepreneur.

Also in today's pod you'll hear about Carolyn's affinity for both whiskey and wine, and how the latter led to a unique birthday celebration.
