About Our Private Tutors.
Our tutors are experienced professionals, qualified to degree level or higher. Many also hold additional specialist teaching qualifications, including BEd, PGCE, and TESOL, and a significant number are fully qualified teachers or established experts within their respective fields.
Each tutor undergoes vetting before joining our service. This includes an Enhanced DBS check for Child Workforce and professional reference verification. Tutors’ profiles are approved only once these standards are met, and their status is subject to ongoing monitoring to ensure continued quality.
We provide flexible tuition options to accommodate individual preferences and requirements. Clients may choose between in-person tuition delivered at home, one-to-one online sessions, or, where available, a combination of both.
The benefits of private tuition are widely recognised. By tailoring lessons to the precise needs of each learner, our tutors are able to offer targeted support across a broad range of core subjects. This includes preparation and revision for examinations, resit support, catch-up and booster sessions, and comprehensive assistance for homeschooling.

We Carefully Select, Vet and Monitor Our Registered Private Tutors.
- We take great care in selecting and approving every tutor registered with us, whether they teach online, in your home, or in their own. Your concerns about safety and trust are our priority, which is why we carry out checks before a tutor’s profile is added to our website.
- Only the highest-quality tutors are accepted. In fact, more than half of applicants do not meet our standards and are rejected. We personally verify each tutor through professional and character references, along with safeguarding measures.
- All new tutors must hold an Enhanced DBS certificate for the Child Workforce (with Barred List Check) or a PVG Scotland check. Once registered, tutors are monitored, and if we identify any concerns about their suitability, we inform you without delay. This is the advantage of choosing our agency over a lone unvetted tutor.
- The free tutor list is provided at the Agency’s discretion. This service is available to parents and guardians seeking tuition for their children, as well as to adult learners over 18.
Would You Help Me Choose a Tutor?
Yes! If you’d like, we can create a tailored shortlist of home or online tutors for you. Just make a request here, and we’ll personally hand-pick private tutors who we think may match your needs based on your subject, level and preferences. You’ll receive their contact details along with information about their tutoring experience and qualifications – making it easy to find the best tutor.
Can A Tutor Visit My Home?
Yes,! Many of our tutors offer local home tuition, allowing the pupil to learn in the comfort and familiarity of their won surroundings. This flexible option makes it easy to fit lessons around your schedule. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor at a time that suits you -whether that’s during the day, in the evening, on weekends, or even throughout the school holidays.
Can I Visit A Tutor?
Yes! Many tutors welcome students into their own homes, where they’ve set up dedicated learning spaces equipped with educational materials and resources. These environments are designed to be comfortable, focused, and free from distractions – helping the student get the most out of each lesson. Parents may also be welcome to stay at the home during the session if they wish, whilst taking care to maintain a focused learning environment. .
Do Tutors Offer Online Tuition?
Absolutely. The majority of our experienced tutors also offer high-quality online lessons that are fully personalised to each student’s goals, learning style, and pace. These lessons provide the same level of attention and effectiveness as in-person tutoring – often with added flexibility.
Online tuition opens up a wider selection of tutors, making it ideal for students in rural or hard-to-reach areas, or for anyone seeking the convenience of learning from home.
How Much Does Private Tuition Cost?
The cost of private tuition varies based on the tutor’s experience, qualifications, and whether travel to your home is required. Our free tutor list offers guidance on the recommended fee range for your chosen subjects and levels. These suggested rates are designed to ensure fair value for both pupils and tutors.
