No.
We are not a tuition agency and therefore are unable to guarantee work. We are an advertising platform specialising in home tuition. This is a one stop shop where tutors and agencies are able to advertise their services and where prospective students/ parents can search to find a suitable tutor in their area quickly and easily. The availability of work will depend on a number of factors such as your location, the subjects that you are willing to tutor, the age range and levels of achievement that you wish to cover as well as details such as the price you are going to charge, the times and days you want to work and the distance you are willing to travel.

No.
However most private tutors have a minimum of a degree or equivalent, whilst some tutors have higher degrees or PhD's. Some tutors will have a degree and a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) i.e. they are qualified to teach in schools and colleges.

The current rates for tutoring vary depending on the area of the country in which you live, if the tutor is travelling to a student, or if the tutor is supplied by an agency etc. However the hourly fee for primary tuition can begin at around £20 whilst A Level can be up to £30. Hourly Undergraduate (degree) level is in the region of £30 plus. Non-academic/vocational subjects are vary in price.

In order to keep the costs as low as possible for all our clients we regret we cannot offer refunds once an advert has been published. The price you pay covers the cost of administration and placing of your advert on the Internet. However if you do change your mind about advertising with us before the advertisement is published then it will be possible for you to be refunded less any costs incurred by us to date in processing your tuition advert.

Your advert will remain on the web site for three, six or twelve months from the date of publication, unless you request its removal. We will contact you one month prior to the renewal date and ask if you wish to renew your tuition advertisement. If we do not receive a reply from you then the advert will be removed on the due date.

If you wish to suspend your advertisement for a period of time for any reason such as you may not be able to take on any more new students, we will remove it for you without charge. You may then return it to the directory at any time, again without charge. You may suspend or return your advertisement as many times as you want within the advertising period.
