If you are successful at interview, you will be invited to attend our programme of training. This may either be face-to-face on your university campus and last two-and-a-half days, or, training may be delivered online, in which case it will be for approximately 10 hours. If online, you will watch content via Thinqi – our learning platform – and attend live sessions too.

All our training covers Safeguarding, high-quality tutoring and lesson planning to enable all tutors to plan and deliver fantastic tutoring.  

We give our tutors subject specific training in either Secondary English, Maths or Science, or Primary Maths and English, so that you are confident with the relevant curriculum and tutoring techniques for your subject and age range of preference. Attendance at face-to-face training – or the online training – is compulsory before you can take on an assignment as a tutor with us.

If you have completed a teaching training qualification, we offer a fast-track training programme. This allows you to move through the training process more quickly, with tailored support from our team of qualified teachers. The training consists of a general online induction, an online safeguarding course, and a lesson-planning task. Our Quality Team mark these elements.

Please ensure you are available on the following dates for training: 

General Training (all tutors are required to attend): 

Block 2: Pedagogy (live session): Wednesday 24th March 5pm - 6pm 

Block 3: Subject Specific Training (live session). Tutors only attend the subjects in which you are training for:

If you are unable to attend any of the relevant dates (which we will share at interview) unfortunately you will not be able to take on any assignments with us.  We are a registered charity and, as we cover all training costs – at up to £200 per tutor, we cannot afford to pay for training if you are unable to attend the complete programme.

Training is led by qualified teacher trainers who will equip you with the skills you need to plan engaging tutoring sessions whilst thoroughly briefing you on the national curriculum and the difficulties pupils may have with the subject.
