How to choose a tutor safely
A good tutor can help you fix specific weaknesses quickly. Because tutors on this page are independent people, take a few sensible steps before you commit.
- Check who you are dealing with. Ask for identification and confirm the tutor's qualifications and experience with the level and subject you need.
- Ask for a trial lesson or a short conversation so that you can judge whether the teaching style suits you.
- Agree the details in writing. Fees, lesson length, schedule, cancellation and the place or platform should all be clear before the first paid lesson.
- Keep learners safe. For learners under 18, a parent or guardian should be involved, and lessons should take place in an open, appropriate setting or on a platform the family can observe.
- Keep payments traceable and avoid paying large amounts in advance.
- Report any concern to us through the contact page.
