About Qualified Tutor
Helping tutors see themselves as professionals.
Qualified Tutor was founded in 2020 with a simple belief: tutoring is a profession, not a side hustle. But professions do not emerge by accident. They are built through shared standards, professional identity and a commitment to continual development.
Everything we do — from certification and training to community and advocacy — is designed to help tutors see themselves differently. Because when tutors see themselves as professionals, families do too.
The moment tutors recognise themselves as professionals, the profession begins to grow.

Our Principles
What makes Qualified Tutor different?
Everything we do is built around a simple belief: when tutors are trusted, supported and recognised as professionals, everyone benefits.Independent
We don't sell tutoring. Our role is to support tutors, promote high standards and help families make informed choices.
Professional
We believe tutoring is a profession. That means clear expectations, continual development and accountability.
Practical
Everything we create is designed by people who understand tutoring, education and the realities of working with families.
Collaborative
We believe tutors are colleagues, not competitors. We achieve more when we learn from one another.
Looking Ahead
The future of tutoring is professional.
More families than ever are choosing tutoring. Schools are working alongside tutors more closely. Employers are recognising the value of personalised learning.
As tutoring continues to grow, so does the need for professional standards, trusted qualifications and a strong community that supports excellent practice.
Qualified Tutor exists to help shape that future — working alongside tutors, tutoring businesses, schools and families to raise standards together.
