Study Doctor started in 2009 when we were both at medical school. We had started tutoring after High School, and collectively had more than a decade of experience in tutoring students of a wide variety of ages. Tired of our association with the tutoring world, with the unnecessary admin, poor pay and feeling very undervalued, we decided to start a company of our own. We felt with our experience and some new ideas, we had a lot more to offer our students than most tutoring companies. Our aim is to give students a more positive tutoring experience, by giving them exceptional tutors who can teach them subject matter, but who can also establish a relationship. This relationship is the foundation for building an environment to learn, not just about course material but about how to study, how to handle school, exams, studying, even the stress of being a teenager or getting through the first year of varsity. Having a mentor who understands where you are coming from and who can guide you through the jungle of education helps instil confidence, which is sometimes the most important thing that is needed. We decided that we would pay our tutors well above the going rate, so that we could be picky in choosing who works for us, and could attract only the best and brightest. All have at least a Matric A in the subjects they teach, and because we pay so well we can expect a little more from them. Because we find such fantastic people to tutor for us, they often end up as mentors and role models to their students. As we have grown and expanded we have taken on an outstanding manager. Paul started with the company in early 2015 and has helped the company grow from strength to strength while keeping a strong focus on building a relationship with our clients. Tutoring students is an incredibly rewarding undertaking, which is why we both continued tutoring for so many years. Study Doctor is an expression of our commitment to our students, and to helping them learn better with young, dynamic, motivated tutors who can teach and inspire them. We don’t just want our students to have more knowledge, we also want to show them how to learn properly, and encourage a passion and a responsibility towards their studies. One-on-one or group sessions teach students more efficient ways of studying, as well as how to plan their study sessions, organise their time and deal with exam stress. The sessions also help students tackle poor motivation and bad study habits. Also on offer is a personality test to help students choose the study methods most suited to their personality type. This test comes with a free online study guide if organised through Study Doctor! It teaches the student to analyse stressful situations and how to cope effectively using positive brain programming techniques. This varies from day-to-day challenging situations, but also specifies how to cope with exam stress.
