Raising standards in tutoring, together
The Home of Certified Tutors
Through our trusted quality mark and national directory, we help families find educators they can trust—and give tutors the professional standing they deserve.
One in three UK secondary students rely on a tutor* and yet, tutoring remains unregulated.
Welcome to Qualified Tutor
We are raising standards and supporting tutors every step of the way
Tutoring is growing fast, yet remains unregulated, leaving parents unsure who to trust. Qualified Tutor solves this by providing essential certification, safeguarding training and CPD for tutors. In an era of increased demand for SEND support, emotionally based school absence (EBSA) solutions, and home education, families need tutors who are professional, safe and up to date. Qualified Tutor helps tutors build credibility through recognised credentials, continuous learning, and safeguarding standards.
By raising the bar for tutoring quality and professionalism, Qualified Tutor ensures families can confidently choose tutors who are skilled, trusted and committed to student success.
Our Members Say it Best:
A super supportive community for new tutors and established educators.
After almost twenty years in traditional secondary education, I took the leap two years ago into private tutoring. It has been amazing in many ways but until recently I lacked a sense of community, support and shared vision.
Joining Qualified Tutor has been brilliant in that regard. Julia, Odette and the community are so supportive, kind and inspiring and the range of sessions they run are practical, valuable and enjoyable!
A recent ‘Supervision Circle’ session I attended was more useful than any other CPD I’ve had in twenty years of teaching – I highly recommend QT!
Being a tutor can sometimes feel isolating, but this Qualified Tutors community has completely changed that for me. What I love most is the incredible culture of knowledge sharing—everyone is eager to help, exchange ideas, and provide insights that make us all better at what we do. Beyond that, there’s a strong sense of hand-holding and support. Whether you’re struggling with a tough student situation, looking for new strategies, or just need encouragement, there’s always someone ready to lift you up. It’s a space where you feel truly not alone in this journey, which makes all the difference with Julia and Odette making us strive for better! If you’re a tutor looking for a place to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded educators, I highly recommend joining this community!
I can’t imagine my journey as a tutor without this incredible organisation. The support, encouragement, and sense of community it provides are truly invaluable. Having a network of amazing, talented tutors just a click away, along with our weekly conversations that inspire growth and reflection, makes such a difference. The wealth of CPD opportunities available keeps us learning and evolving, and the dedication of those leading the way ensures we always feel valued, safe, and supported. I’m so grateful that QT exists—it’s more than just a platform; it’s a lifeline for tutors like me!
