Going into business with a spouse has a whole host of benefits. It can make for a great working dynamic and allows both parties to leverage their strengths in particular areas of the business.
Eleanor and Matthew Fox launched their Bedford-based franchise in July after they both realised there was a growing demand for tutoring in their local community.
“Many of our friends and colleagues have used tutors for their children,” said Eleanor, “and a common theme was how difficult it is to find a tutor that inspires them, builds confidence and is reliable. It was clear that Tutor Doctor gave us the chance to work together, whilst providing a solution to the problems faced. Going into business, we already knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how we complement each other - it has certainly brought us closer together.”
Like many Tutor Doctor franchisees, Eleanor and Matthew had the desire to change the trajectory of student’s lives through their learning. As part of their initial consultation, the pair thoroughly assess a child’s needs and match them with a suitable tutor to deliver the in-home session. Learning styles, personalities and even hobbies are considered in the hopes of creating a strong relationship between student and tutor which subsequently makes a lasting impact on their education.
Despite his career in the corporate world, Matthew says he always dreamed of being his own boss. Eleanor worked for 13 years at Bedford Girls’ School before leaving to start her new life as a business owner. Her professional experience, as well as having two children of their own, made the opportunity to make an impact in the community a no-brainer.
