We do all the necessary checks including an enhanced DBS, along with providing support for each tutor to ensure strong teaching standards, professionalism and full safeguarding compliance, providing you with a trusted partner and reducing your administrative burden.

Every tutor is fully checked, and works to our high standards of quality and safeguarding, giving you confidence that your child is learning in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment.
For tutors
Working in partnership with us offers tutors the best of both worlds. The flexibility and independence of self employment, combined with the security of regular, high-quality teaching opportunities.
