Private tutor safety guide
Private tuition arrangements are made directly between families and tutors. TuitionList helps with discovery, but families should make their own checks before lessons begin.
How TuitionList uses profile labels
Safety considerations may include identity, DBS details where relevant, references, safeguarding arrangements, lesson setting, online platform choice, supervision, and communication boundaries.
What families should check
Agree lesson location, who will be present, how online sessions will be supervised, how concerns can be raised, how payments are handled directly, and what records or updates will be shared.
Directory-only reminder
TuitionList is an online directory only. Tutors and tuition providers are independent providers, and parents, carers, and students remain responsible for making their own checks before arranging tuition.
