Online Tutoring
Welcome to Core Tuition!
We are here to help you find the right tutor for your child.
Parents choose to use a tutor for many reasons - you might be worried that your
child is not learning as well as you hoped in their lessons, or they may not be
having their SEND needs met. Our tutors can help whether your child needs help
to catch up, would like lessons to accompany their home tuition program or has
SEND requirements. Our tutors know how to bring your child's confidence and
knowledge up to where they need to be.
We offer high calibre online tuition for students from
primary age up to A levels and beyond. Our tutors are all DBS checked
(safety checks) and have up to date knowledge of the relevant specifications in
their field of expertise. Each tutor has their own secure online
classroom using high quality video chat and interactive whiteboards where
they deliver dynamic and high-quality lessons.
Our tutors are all committed to ensuring that the students'
learning experiences are always tailored to their individual requirements and
specific learning styles. Their targeted approach means that
they can successfully help students with a range of needs. Several
of our tutors have worked with their home educated students for all their GCSE
years and have helped them achieve really exceptional grades.
If you are worried that your child is falling behind or that
they are not going to gain the grades they need for the next step in their
educational journey, then please contact us at Core
Tuition. Students and parents / carers can search our UK based tutors and
contact them to arrange a free trial lesson.
Your child's educational success starts here!
For Students and Parents / Carers
Choosing a tutor can be daunting so we offer the chance to have a chat with our tutors to make sure they are the right fit for your child. Our tutors offer a free 30 minute session so that you can chat with them and discuss your child's needs. You can also contact Marta (site owner and tutor) to chat and she can help you to choose which tutor(s) will best suit your requirements.
Each tutor has a profile that you can take a look at to help you decide. They are skilled in helping students with a range of needs so will make sure the lessons help you reach your goals, whether that's gain extra understanding of topics, increase their confidence or catch up on missed lessons.
Our tutors know and fully understand the SATs, GCSE and A level courses so will be able to pinpoint areas that require attention to ensure that your child is able to gain their predicted grades (and, in most cases - exceed them). Plus there's the added benefit that learning online allows the students to fit lessons around their current studies and after school schedule and all from the comfort of your own home!
You can start straight away by searching through our team of highly qualified and experienced tutors. Once you've chosen a tutor, send them a message to request a free trial lesson. When it's time to start the lesson, simply login and enter the Tutor Room for your chosen tutor. There's nothing to install or setup, all you need is a computer with a webcam. After the free trial, lessons work on a flexible pay as you go basis with no commitment.
We can also offer online tuition to small groups of students as well as the original 1 to 1 sessions so, if there are two or three students wishing to share the lesson, this is very doable! Ask your tutor what they would charge for a joint session as this might vary from their usual hourly rate.
For Tutors
Please note that this site only uses UK based tutors with a current DBS (registered on the dbs update website and an Enhanced, not Basic DBS) and knowledge of the exam boards used in the UK. Please set up your tutor profile and we will message you to ask for your DBS number and photographic proof of identity. One of our team will then call you to discuss joining Core Tuition. Please be aware that if you find a student via this site you are then expected to cover all lessons with them on this site. If you choose to teach them off site we will charge you a finders fee.
Your profile will be seen by the students and parents/carers so should describe the tuition you offer and a little background information about your teaching style and ethos. You will also need to choose your hourly rate. Once approved, you’ll receive your own online Tutor Room which you can access anytime and then, when you receive a tutoring request, you can schedule lessons at times to suit you and your student. Your income from each lesson will be accrued and you will receive payment once a week.
We look forward to working with you.
More Info
Lessons are one-to-one or in small group settings and occur online in our specialist Tutor Rooms. Live video chat allows tutors and students to talk freely and interactive whiteboards allow co-viewing and co-editing of resources (e.g. diagrams, notes and questions). Share files with a single click and work through questions together, live on screen. Tutor Rooms setup automatically with a single click and run in your internet browser so there’s nothing to install. All you need is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and a good internet connection.
Free Trials
Our tutors choose to offer a free 30-minute trial lesson for new students. This allows the opportunity for tutors, students and parents/ carers to meet in the online Tutor Room to discuss tutoring requirements, ask questions and experience an online lesson. To request a free trial, simply send your chosen tutor a message.
Prices
The cost of a paid lesson depends on the tutor's hourly rate (shown on their profile) and how long the lesson lasts. Students add credit to their account before the lesson using a debit or credit card and after the lesson the correct amount of credit is automatically transferred to the tutor. Students can top up credit anytime on a pay as you go basis.
