Tips for Choosing a Tutor

• Qualifications — Look for relevant subject qualifications and, ideally, teaching experience. For tuition centres, check whether they are Ofsted registered.
• DBS checks — Any tutor working one-to-one with children should hold a current enhanced DBS certificate.
• Trial lessons — Most good tutors offer an initial assessment or trial session. Use this to check their approach suits your child's learning style.
• References — Ask for references or read online reviews. Recommendations from other Jesmond parents are often the most reliable guide.
• Communication — A good tutor provides regular feedback on progress, not just a weekly lesson.
