Below is a list of subject tutors I have close working relationships with who provide a quality tutoring service. I choose to promote my fellow tutors as it provides both my clients and potential clients with options to consider that might better meet their needs.
Whilst we may operate in different ways, in order to provide consistency for our students and families, we have the following in common:
-
We are all members of The Tutors’ Association: the voluntary, not-for-profit professional body that represents the tutoring sector, a commitment to continuous personal development and enhanced DBS checks on the Update Service
-
We all write a Student Plan to focus on the knowledge, skills and exam technique required to help the student achieve their desired objective.
