What we do

The Reading Doctor’s mission is to unlock the potential in struggling readers by removing barriers and building learning pathways.

As a Reading Doctor branch owner, you will have your very own territory, a comprehensive setup of your home teaching hub, complete with bespoke resources and full training. Reading Doctor branch owners work in school hubs and from home, 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.

The Reading Doctor Franchises

Deborah Salsbury – Founder

The Reading Doctor is a tuition and school intervention service, founded by Deborah Salsbury in 2012. Deborah, a qualified primary school teacher, initially began her career as a teacher in Bromley, Greater London. Over time, her role evolved into specialised group intervention teaching, focusing on providing access to learning for all students.

Her dedication to ensuring reading success for all learners led her to become an Intervention Lead and then to train with The Institute of Education in London as a Reading Recovery Teacher. With this additional expertise, Deborah recognised the importance of reading as the key to becoming a successful learner. In 2012, she decided to fully commit to teaching reading, and thus, The Reading Doctor was born.
