All our tutors have created a unique profile about themselves, which showcases their expertise/ experiences. However, here are some key things you might want to consider when making your choice.
Qualifications
Experience
References
Feedback
Availability
Here are some top tip questions to ask the tutors you are in contact with:
- What qualifications do you have?
- How many years teaching experience do you have?
- Do they have experience in exams or the required curriculum?
- Do you have any references?
- How will you evaluate my learning needs?
- Can you share student feedback with me?
Nothing is more important than peace of mind, so before the first lesson, ask to see their qualifications, certificates, and give their references a call.
Tuition should take place in a quiet and calm environment to get the most benefit from the sessions.
If tuition will take place at a tutor’s home or in any other private area, please take all safety precautions to ensure that someone knows where you are.
Be prepared about what you would like to discuss with the tutor, highlighting areas of difficulties, what you like or dislike about a subject or topic.
Your child’s progress is very important, and therefore it is equally important to communicate any concerns you may have with the private tutor.
Remember, if you think that the sessions should be done in a different manner i.e. slower, faster or at a more advanced level depending on your child’s learning, this should be discussed with the tutor in order to get the best out of your child’s education.
We encourage students to give feedback about tutors they have had as this feedback helps potential students make the right choices about the most suitable tutors.
If you are experiencing any technical difficulties, you can contact us via our 24/7 online support where we will be happy to assist you.
If you have any further questions please contact us.

We encourage our tutors to respond even when they are not available at that moment. They could become available sooner rather than later. We would advise that you message 6-7 tutors so you are more likely to receive a response.
Also, try and keep an eye on a tutor’s response rate. This will give you an idea of how quickly they will respond to your message.
