Michael Richmond-Coggan
After 16 years at Leeds City College, Michael Richmond-Coggan launched Tutor Doctor Harrogate to ensure every pupil receives the individual support they deserve. His extensive experience in alternative and adult education, combined with his role as governor at Leeds West SILC, means he understands the challenges families face when traditional schooling isn't working. Michael takes particular pride in helping parents navigate EHCPs, Personal Budgets, and EOTAS packages, drawing on his background managing Foundation Studies at one of the UK's largest FE colleges. Since becoming a franchisee in 2018, he's delivered over 7,000 hours of tutoring support to local families. What sets his approach apart is the personal touch — Michael meets every family himself, often over a cup of tea (milk and one sugar!), to understand each pupil's needs before carefully matching them with one of his dedicated local tutors. His commitment to changing pupils' lives through quality, personalised education has helped hundreds of local families find academic success and renewed confidence.
