Directory-only reminder

TuitionList is a directory only. Tutors and tuition providers listed on TuitionList are independent and are not employed by TuitionList. We do not guarantee the quality, suitability, availability, qualifications, DBS status, safeguarding arrangements, or outcomes of any tutor. Parents, carers, and students are responsible for carrying out their own checks before arranging tuition.

Where possible, TuitionList may review certain information or evidence provided by tutors and tuition providers. Badges, blue ticks, and profile labels only show what has been self-declared, seen, or confirmed by TuitionList.
