Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

What qualifications do I need?

A minimum 2:1 degree (or international equivalent) in your subject area, plus at least one year of tutoring or teaching experience. Qualified teachers (PGCE, QTS, or equivalent) are also welcome.

How does the application process work?

There are 5 stages: application review, document verification, a 30-minute teaching assessment, profile setup, and ongoing quality monitoring. The full process typically takes 2–3 weeks from application to first lesson.

How much can I earn?

You set your own hourly rate. Most tutors on our platform earn £35–80/hr (or local equivalent), depending on subject, level, and location. GCSE subjects typically command £35–50/hr; A-Level and specialist subjects £50–80/hr.

Do I need a DBS check?

Yes, for UK-based tutors offering in-person lessons an Enhanced DBS check is mandatory. We help you arrange this if you do not already have one. Online-only tutors outside the UK undergo equivalent background checks.

Can I teach online?

Absolutely. All sessions on our platform are supported online via video call. Many tutors teach exclusively online, which lets you work from anywhere and accept students across the country (or internationally).

How do I get students?

Once your profile is live, our matching system connects you with families whose requirements align with your subjects, availability, and location. You are never required to do your own marketing — we handle student acquisition.
