For the past four years, NextDoor Tutoring has been dedicated to helping students thrive academically while building confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.
Founded in 2022 by local educator Nicole Spence, NextDoor Tutoring was created with a simple mission: provide high-quality, individualized tutoring that is accessible, supportive, and tailored to each student’s unique needs. Today, the company proudly serves families throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties and has grown into a team of more than 38 highly qualified tutors.
What sets NextDoor Tutoring apart is its exceptional team. Every tutor is either a certified teacher, retired educator, or experienced subject area expert who is passionate about helping students succeed. The company offers both in-person and online tutoring services for students of all ages, from Pre-K learners developing foundational skills to college students tackling advanced coursework.
Families can receive support in a wide variety of subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, SAT and ACT preparation, college coursework, and test preparation for exams such as the FTCE, GED, PERT, FAST, and more. Specialized support is also available for students with dyslexia, ADHD, IEPs, 504 Plans, and other diverse learning needs.
“We believe every child deserves individualized support and the opportunity to feel successful,” said founder Nicole Spence. “Our goal is not only to improve grades but to help students gain the confidence and skills they need to become independent learners.”
NextDoor Tutoring has become a trusted educational resource for local families, earning more than 75 five-star Google reviews and being voted Lakewood Ranch’s Best Local Tutoring Company in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
The company currently offers in-person tutoring throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties, with services available in libraries, homes, and community locations. Online tutoring is also available for families seeking additional flexibility.
