Tutor applications
Join our tutor network.
We work with a small panel of subject specialists. If you teach A-Level Sciences or Maths, IB Diploma subjects, or coach for Oxbridge admissions or the UCAT, we want to hear from you.
Who we hire
Senior specialists, not generalists.
We hire current and former Heads of Department, exam-board markers, IB examiners, and PhD holders in their subject specialism. The panel is small by design and we are selective.
We require a master's degree or doctorate in the subject you teach, a recognised teaching qualification, and a minimum of four years teaching that subject in a school. All three are requirements rather than preferences: applications without them do not proceed. Classroom teaching in a school is what counts, and the four years may be across more than one school. The teaching qualification does not have to be UK QTS: a BEd, PGCE, PGDE, iPGCE or iQTS, or the qualification recognised in the country where you trained, all count, and we check that every qualification claimed is legitimate before a tutor joins the panel.
We are particularly interested in tutors with experience of more than one exam board (Edexcel, AQA, OCR, Cambridge), IB Diploma examiners, and tutors with direct admissions-testing experience (TARA, TMUA, ESAT, UCAT, Oxbridge interviews).
The vetting process
How we vet. Same for everyone.
An interview, a check that you hold legitimate qualifications, confirmation of your teaching experience, written references requested directly from your referees, an enhanced DBS check for UK-based tutors or a police certificate for those overseas, and mandatory safeguarding training. We only engage experienced teachers, and every tutor completes our Safer Recruitment process before meeting a student.

Apply online.
The form below takes about ten minutes. You will need your CV, the names of the schools you have taught in with the years, and the full names and email addresses of two professional referees who have agreed to be contacted. We do not need your qualification certificates at this stage; if we take your application forward, we will request them as part of vetting.
If you fulfil all the stipulated criteria we will review your application and you may be invited for an interview. Unfortunately we are not able to respond to everyone, but we do thank you for taking the time to complete the application.
Before you apply, please read our Tutor Privacy Notice. It explains what we collect about you, how we handle references and vetting, how long we keep it, and your rights.
