FAQs

Which subjects do you cover?

Our most popular subjects are Maths, English, 7+ and 11+. If you have another subject in mind let us know and we will try our best to match you with the perfect local tutor.

Which ages do you tutor?

We tutor children and adults of all ages.

Where are your tutors located?

Your Local Tutors is national and is actively recruiting tutors across the country. At the moment our biggest presence is in London, Surrey, Kent and the South West coast. If you’re in a location where we are low on tutors, you might have to be patient whilst we match you with your perfect local tutor.

How do you match my child with a tutor?

We will spend some time discussing your child’s personality and educational needs with you before the perfect local tutor pops to mind. All of our tutors are smart, patient and kind but we want to make sure they are the right fit for your family.

We always recommend an hour trial session. If you have any concerns once your tutor starts, we will be here to help and match you with someone new.

What are your tutors like?

We meet and hand pick each and every one of our tutors before they start tutoring with Your Local Tutors. Each tutor is smart, patient, kind and shares Your Local Tutors’ values.

If you have a particular type of person in mind for your child – let us know!

I don’t feel comfortable having a visitor.

That’s ok. We offer sessions in local spaces such as libraries or video sessions online!

Will my child focus during a video session?

We offer video sessions on Zoom or Google Meet. These sessions are still engaging and productive as we are able to share our screen, use an on-screen whiteboard and work from the same materials that we would face-to-face.

If your child is below the age of 6 or if you have particular concerns about your child’s focus in a video session, we recommend having an adult in the room during the video session.

My child has a special educational need.

We’ve found that one-to-one sessions can be extremely rewarding for children with special educational needs.

If you would like us to match you with a tutor who has experience working with children with similar special educational needs or, if you would like your tutor to modify their approach for your child, just let us know.

Do I have to pay a ‘finder’s fee’?

No, there is no lump sum fee. Your Local Tutors will organise a session payment plan that you’re comfortable with and will be actively supporting your tutoring journey every step of the way.
