Online tutoring work with room for your own way of teaching.

Why learners use Tutorium

What does online tutor work on Tutorium mean?

Tutorium is a tutoring marketplace and technology platform. Tutors remain independent providers: they decide whether to apply, what they teach, which availability they publish and whether a particular lesson is suitable. Approval is not employment, a promise of work or a guarantee of earnings.

The platform is designed to make a good tutoring conversation easier to start. A learner or adult customer can understand your subject offer, ask about fit and request a lesson through the normal Tutorium workflow.

• Online one-to-one lessons and group options where the published lesson supports them
• Subjects from school and college learning through adult and professional goals
• Tutor-controlled availability and a clear profile preview before application
• A review route that keeps DBS and qualification evidence private
• No claim of guaranteed students, earnings, grades or future work

Who might join the founding tutor cohort?

The early cohort can include qualified teachers, teaching assistants, university students, graduates, musicians, language specialists, coders and subject experts who can explain a real area of knowledge clearly. What matters is an accurate offer and a responsible approach to the learners you may support.

You do not need to teach every subject or accept every learner. A specific offer—such as GCSE Maths exam practice, A-level Chemistry, beginner piano or adult English—gives a future learner a better starting point.

• Choose the subjects and levels you are confident teaching
• Explain your experience, approach and preferred lesson format
• State realistic availability and keep it current
• Prepare the DBS and qualification evidence requested for your offer
• Keep communication professional and follow the safeguarding policy

How the application and review route works

Start with a profile preview so you can see the information a learner needs. Create an adult tutor account, accept the current Tutor Agreement and safeguarding documents, complete the application and upload the evidence requested for your subject offer.

An authorised administrator reviews the application. A public profile is intended to appear only after the required legal acceptances, approval decision, DBS evidence decision and qualification evidence decision are complete. Private certificates and DBS information are not public profile content.

• Draft your profile
• Create an adult account
• Submit the requested review evidence
• Wait for a human approval decision
• Review payment, cancellation, tax and insurance responsibilities before accepting lessons

Questions to answer before accepting a lesson

Before teaching, read the current Tutor Agreement and payment policy. Make sure the lesson, learner, delivery mode, price, timing, supervision and safeguarding arrangements are suitable for you. Keep your own tax, insurance and professional records; Tutorium is not a tax adviser, insurer or employer.

If a learner is under 18, communication must remain on approved channels and the adult account holder must stay in control. Report a concern promptly rather than trying to handle it privately.

• Is the subject and level within your genuine expertise?
• Are the timetable, equipment, venue and accessibility arrangements workable?
• Have you read the cancellation, payment and refund route?
• Do your insurance and professional arrangements fit the work?
• Would you be comfortable explaining the lesson plan to the adult account holder?
