The qualifications of the tutors vary, some are qualified teachers and GCSE examiners with a whole range of qualifications, some are teaching assistants, one is a civil servant, another a trainee doctor. We have always found that the personality of the tutor often is more important than the qualifications. I’ve got a mum who works with me, who prior to joining, her experience was working with her own children. She has been with me for several years now and is one of the best tutors I have. Having said that they are all amazing.
I have made mistakes in the past. I had a lady work with me who had been travelling the world teaching English for over 30 years. But she didn’t fit with the families that we support. Sadly, none of them wanted her back, her CV and experience teaching was second to none, her ability to adapt to the individual that she was working with after so long teaching in a classroom wasn’t.
Sadly, we had to part ways. It’s taken a long time to build up our reputation and so I ensure that every tutor I recommend, now I do so with confidence.
