What is The Tutor Connect Hub?
Our mission is to ensure that every tutor is equipped with the necessary tools and support to excel in their profession, while providing parents with the confidence and assurance they need when choosing the best educational support for their children.
The platform ensures that all tutors are suitably qualified and have undergone safeguarding checks, which is paramount in establishing a safe and trustworthy environment for both tutors and students. This commitment to safety and professionalism not only fosters confidence among parents and schools but also enhances the reputation of the tutoring industry as a whole.
Why we need a tutoring revolution...
We appreciate the dedication shown by various tutoring platforms, agencies, and organisations. We recognise that the majority of educators are committed and work diligently to support their students while ensuring their safety.
However... the truth is that not all tutors are suitable to work with children.
Over the past 20 years in the UK, 92 private tutors have been convicted of sexual offences involving children, suggesting many more arrests, charges, and unreported incidents.
This is abhorrent.
Educational institutions and society must take a stand and implement preventive measures. However, the lack of regulation for tutors in the UK fails to provide the necessary support for parents and children.
This is where The Tutor Connect Hub steps in!
The Key Points We Want to Address...
How can parents know which tutors are suitable?
In the current tutoring landscape, parents often post a request for a tutor and then they are bombarded with a huge list of possible educators. Some of the tutors are unqualified, inexperienced, and unsuitable to work with children.
We need to make sure parents know how to find the right tutor.
Our Solution
To support parents, we have established The Tutor Connect Hub, a platform dedicated to championing and promoting suitable tutors. Parents can explore our list of vetted tutors through our tutor profiles, our exclusive Facebook group and direct marketing efforts on social media as well as in schools and colleges.
How can the right tutors connect with the right students?
The right tutors should be championed and supported to find new clients. Owing to the overwhelming increase in tutors since Covid, many excellent tutors are overlooked.
We need to make sure parents know who the best tutors are!
Our Solution
All Tutor Connect tutors will be showcased on our registered tutors list. Parents can effortlessly reach out to their selected tutor from the website, with no introductory fees and no commission taken by us. This seamless process ensures that parents have direct access to high-quality tutors, enhancing the overall educational experience for their children
