Why Private Tuition?

2012-01-09T09:40:00.002Z

As a parent you may choose private tuition for your children to enable a child who has fallen behind to catch up, to learn a subjectof interest outside the school environment, or to stretch your child further or give closer attention to the needs of your child than is possible in the classroom. Tutoring can raise levels of school performance, help a child to increase their confidence, enjoyment and motivation in a subject and develop study skills and discipline that can be applied across a number of subjects.

If you are curious to see whether there are tutors available in your area, simply take a look at the student form on our website. It is very easy to use -- you will be prompted to enter your postcode and by selecting the subject and level of tuition you are looking for, you will be provided with a list of profiles for local tutors we have available and where they are based in your area. We cover the whole of mainland Britain.

If you feel any of these tutors meet with your requirements, select them by ticking the relevant boxes (you may select and receive information for upto 6 tutors) and after confirming your contact details you may submit your enquiry. You will then receive the tutors full contact details and will be able to contact them, or them you, to discuss the specifics of the tuition required.

We cover the following subjects at all levels; primary, lower secondary, GCSE, AS level and A level and beyond

Maths
English
General Science
Combined Science
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
French
German
Computer Studies/Information Technology
Geography
History

Now is the time of year where we start to receive an ever increasing number of enquiries from potential pupils - the holiday season is over, GCSE, A level and SATs results have been assimilated and children are back in school or at university. There will be a great demand for tutors in all subjects and at all levels.

If pupils are looking for a tutor online via our website, it is advisable to select more than one tutor. As we get further into the term the tutors will have less hours available for new pupils. The most popular subjects, at all levels from primary through to lower secodary, GCSE, A level and even University level are; Maths, English, Basic skills (maths, English and reading), Combined Science, General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, I.T. or I.C.T, French, German, Geography and History.

You can carry out an initial search for tutors starting here and, by submitting the form and completing your contact details, you will receive complete information for all the tutors you have chosen. Only the tutors chosen by you will receive yours.

Tutors, if you wish to maximise the number of enquiries, then please make sure we know you are keen and we have your up to date contact information. You should also check your tutor profile - is all the information still relevant? Can you offer more subjects, or would you prefer to specialise in one? Keep in touch!

Our Great Tutors!

When an introduction to a tutor is made we always hope the outcome will be a satifactory and productive one. We often receive praise from happy parents and pupils following a course of tuition with one of our tutors. Below are just a few of the comments we have received recently:

"Just a short note to let you know that I am absolutely delighted with your recommendation of a French tutor in Colchester. Miss ****** is the ideal tutor for all levels and I find her very helpful and encouraging."

"I would like to thank you for your excellent tutor finding service. My daughter has attended almost weekly maths sessions since early this year with Ms ****** of Heaton Moor. We have found her to be an experienced and thorough tutor."

"I contacted your website in August last year as I was looking for a tutor for my son. I chose Mr ****** and he has been coming to the house every weekend to tutor my son on Physics and I would like to thank you for putting me in touch with him. My son found him very approachable, patient and good at explaining. He continually checked my son's understanding of whatever he was going over. He is now facing the exam with more confidence than he ever would have without him and has his best chance at succeeding and gaining a good qualification. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr ****** in the future."

About our company...

2011-04-01T12:42:00.004+01:00

We thought that you might like to know some details of how we work, the way that we select tutors for our register and how we ensure that you will receive the best possible service.

Personal Tutors has been in business since 1970. We are proud to display our address and full contact details on our site. Other companies may hide behind P.O. Box numbers and email addresses.

We only recruit tutors who can satisfy our strict requirements in terms of qualification and character. We only accept tutors whose minimum qualification is a degree and most are teachers, lecturers or professional tutors.

All new tutors who join us must have an Enhanced CRB Disclosure. If they do not have one, as a Registered Body with the CRB, we can obtain one for them. If a tutor already has a Disclosure we insist on seeing the original document. Remember, anyone can obtain a CRB Disclosure. It is the checking of the security features and contents of the document (not to mention any additional information provided by the police but not contained in the disclosure) by a responsible company which is important. Some other businesses do not bother to check.

When applying to register as a tutor we insist that all new tutors supply details of two referees who can vouch for their moral character and their qualifications. The referees must be people in positions of responsibility, e.g. employers, head teachers, heads of department, etc, and we contact these referees by post as emailed references can easily be fraudulent. Some other companies either take no references at all or rely on pre-written ones which could have been composed by the tutor themself.

In order to supply our pupils with the best possible service, we continuously monitor the performance of our tutors and any that do not satisfy our exacting standards are removed from our Register. When a pupil begins tuition, we do not ask that they pay in advance for a set number of lessons but simply work on a lesson to lesson basis in co-operation with the tutor.

Registering as a Tutor

2009-08-06T18:29:00.002+01:00

The service is FREE to tutors.

We are the oldest and largest of the UK tuition agencies and we receive many requests for tutors from past clients as well as current advertising.
As we spend much more on advertising than any other agency, our tutors receive many more introductions. In fact, last year tutors received an average of more than 50 introductions each and those offering popular subjects such as Maths and English got substantially more.
If you do not have a CRB Enhanced Disclosure, then as a Registered Body with the CRB we can obtain one for you. Also, as we are in urgent need of more tutors, we are not currently charging our normal £25 administration fee.
To maintain the excellent reputation of the agency, Personal Tutors only accept applications from tutors who are graduates or teachers.
