Train to be a Tutor

Start Your Journey as a Trainee Tutor

Our Train to Be a Tutor pathway is designed for individuals who are passionate about supporting children and young people, particularly those with additional or complex needs. We look beyond qualifications to understand your aspirations, motivation, and experience.

To be considered, you’ll need one of the following:

  • A relevant degree completed within the last three years, or
  • Referenceable experience working with children and young people in an educational setting

The Trainee Tutor Journey

  • Application & Sourcing – You may come to us via an application, LinkedIn, referral, or a careers fair etc.
  • Initial Contact & Pre-Screening
  • Registration Call – Document checks, employment history verification, and tuition policy shared.
  • File Completion
  • Clearance for Work

After Clearance

  • “Train to Be a Tutor” CPD – This is a required and an intensive course that requires commitment – taking approximately 30-45 hours to complete, that is expected to be completed within 2 weeks of clearance. Is this the right time for you?
  • Specialist Review – A specialist will review your planning and preparation using an example referral.

Opportunity Matching & Placement

  • Opportunity Matching – Once training is passed, your consultant will seek suitable opportunities.
  • Opportunity Shared – Redacted referral and EHCP provided.
  • Acceptance & Introductions – You arrange the start date and introductions.
