For tutors

We fill your calendar. You just teach.

We find the students and you set your own hourly rate. No marketing yourself, no chasing payments, no admin — every session runs on our platform, so all you bring is the teaching.

Why teach with us

Tutoring, minus everything that isn't tutoring

Working alone, a tutor is also a marketer, a bookkeeper and a scheduler. With us, you're just the teacher.

No finding students

Parents come to us. We match you against confirmed demand for your subjects and levels — you never advertise, bid for work or cold-message families.

No chasing invoices

You're paid per completed session on a weekly run. No invoicing parents, no late payments, no awkward reminders.

No admin

Scheduling, reminders, cancellations and the video room are all handled for you. You turn up and teach.

No rate haggling

You set your own hourly rate when you join, and it applies to every session you teach — no bidding, no negotiating with families.

How it works

Four steps from application to first session

  1. Apply

    A short form: who you are, what you teach and to which levels. It takes a few minutes.

  2. Get vetted

    An interview with our team, plus an enhanced DBS check arranged through our clearance team.

  3. Get matched

    We put confirmed session requests in front of you. You accept the ones that suit your availability.

  4. Teach and get paid

    Run the session in the browser — nothing to install — and get paid on the weekly run.

Vetting

Vetted properly — and that's the point

Parents trust us with their children, so every tutor is cleared before they teach a single session. Passing vetting is what makes a CTS tutor worth booking.

Enhanced DBS check

Arranged through our clearance team. You don't need one already — we sort it with you.

Identity and right to work

We verify who you are and your right to work in the UK before anything else moves forward.

Reference checks

We take up references before you teach your first session.

Safeguarding interview

A conversation with our staffing team covering safeguarding, subject knowledge and how you teach.

Ongoing monitoring

Clearances are re-checked while you're with us. A lapsed DBS takes a tutor off the platform automatically.

Honestly: it takes time

There's no instant sign-up, and you can't teach until you're cleared. DBS turnaround isn't in our hands, so we won't pretend otherwise. That thoroughness is exactly why parents choose us.

Pay

Your rate, set by you

No bidding, no sliding scales, no surprises on payday.

Your hourly rate

You set it

You choose your rate when you join, based on your subjects and experience, and it applies to every session you complete.

  • You set it

    You choose your own hourly rate when you join, based on your subjects and experience.

  • The same every session

    Your rate applies to every completed session you teach. It doesn't vary by family or by week.

  • Paid weekly

    By bank transfer, on the weekly run, for the sessions you completed.

  • No commission

    We don't advertise one rate and pay another. The rate we agree is the rate you're paid.

FAQ

Questions tutors ask us

How long does vetting take?
We don't promise a timeframe, because a lot of it depends on DBS turnaround, which is outside our control. We'll keep you posted at each stage — but you can't teach until every check has cleared.
Do I need a DBS check already?
No. We arrange an enhanced DBS check through our clearance team as part of vetting.
Do I need QTS?
No. Qualified teacher status is welcome but not required. Your subject knowledge and teaching experience are assessed at interview.
Can I choose my own hours?
Yes. You set your weekly availability, and you accept or decline each session request individually. There's no minimum commitment.
What happens if I need to cancel a session?
Tell us through the platform as early as you can and we'll handle rearranging with the family — you never negotiate with parents directly. Families plan around their sessions, so repeated late cancellations are reviewed.
Are sessions recorded?
Yes — every session is recorded for safeguarding. Recordings can only be viewed by our safeguarding staff. They're not shared with other tutors, published or used for marketing.
Do I need to bring my own students?
No. That's the point of the platform: parents come to us, and we bring confirmed session requests to you.
Is there a joining fee?
No. There's no fee to apply or to join, and nothing is deducted from your agreed rate.

Ready to teach without the busywork?

Applying takes a few minutes. We'll take it from there.
