Questions teachers ask
Am I employed by you?
No. You tutor as a self-employed teacher: you choose your hours, you can turn a lesson down, and you pay your own tax. We send a statement of your lessons each month and pay it by bank transfer.
Can I do this alongside my school job?
Yes. Most lessons are on weekday evenings and at weekends, which suits teachers working full time.
Do I need a DBS check?
Yes, an enhanced DBS with a barred list check. If you are on the DBS Update Service we can check it online; if not, we will talk you through getting one.
What do I need at home?
A laptop or computer with a webcam, reliable broadband and a quiet space. A pen tablet or visualiser helps for subjects with a lot of written working, but is not essential.
How soon could I start?
As soon as your checks are done. How quickly we match you depends on your subject, the levels you teach and the hours you give us.
