Each applicant undergoes rigorous interviewing and screening procedures. In addition detailed academic and personal references are obtained and held at The Tutors Group. All new tutors are required to attend our training programme and once tutoring, they file lesson plans and lesson diaries with us for each tutorial. In addition, tutors have access to our extensive library of past exam papers, syllabuses and teaching aids.

Experience has shown that relatively young tutors achieve the best results. Children will learn more from someone they like and hence want to please. If the child and tutor become good friends, the academic work falls into place. Since many potentially superb educators choose more lucrative careers, classrooms sadly miss out on a vast array of talent. We recruit some of these people who would love to teach and have the ability, but cannot envisage life as a conventional teacher.The majority of our tutors have taken their first degree and are involved with a professional qualification such as law or medicine. This means that they have been passing examinations twice a year for at least ten years and are extremely adept at study skills and examination technique. They understand the horrors of examinations because they are still taking them.

We also have full-time tutors, with years of experience, who undertake long-term assignments of between two months and two years. They work all over the world providing a complete education for children who are not attending school or as an addition to a mainstream school in order to maximise your child's potential. Not only are our tutors academically qualified to teach the required subjects, they also understand the crucial role of confidence in determining success.
