Choosing a tutor shouldn't feel like taking a chance.
Tutoring has never been more important. Families invest significant time, money and trust in the adults who support their children. Yet, in the UK, anyone can describe themselves as a tutor.
Qualified Tutor was created to change that. Through our independent directory and Five Point Check, we help families recognise tutors who are committed to professional standards—making it easier to choose with confidence.
Why we're different
Finding a tutor shouldn't feel like guesswork.
Every year, thousands of families search for a tutor with very little to guide them beyond reviews, recommendations and impressive claims. We believe parents deserve a clearer way to choose.
Trust first
Tutoring is built on relationships. Before qualifications, before grades, parents need confidence that the person supporting their child is professional, trustworthy and committed to high standards.
Free for families
The Qualified Tutor Directory is completely free to use. Search, compare and contact tutors directly without paying a parent fee or commission.
Supporting great tutors
Independent tutors keep 100% of the fee they agree with families. Rather than taking commission, we invest in raising professional standards across tutoring.

WHY QUALIFIED TUTOR EXISTS
We believe families deserve better.
Every parent wants the same thing: someone they can trust to support their child. We created Qualified Tutor to make professional standards easier to recognise, helping families make informed choices and giving great tutors the recognition they deserve.
Parents deserve clarity.
Choosing a tutor should not rely on guesswork. Families deserve clearer information before they make one of the most important educational decisions for their child.
Professional tutors deserve recognition.
Many tutors invest in training, safeguarding and continual professional development. We believe that commitment should be visible to the families they support.
Every student deserves a great tutor.
The right tutor can change far more than grades. They can build confidence, unlock potential and help a young person rediscover the joy of learning.
