Who looks for private tutoring in the UK?

Private tutoring is a normal part of school life in the UK, especially around GCSEs, A-levels and the 11+. Families look for tutors who know the exam board, the specification and the kind of questions that come up.

On WantATutor you create a free profile, list the subjects and levels you teach and set an hourly rate. Students and parents message you directly, and you can answer requests posted to the request pool. Lessons can be online, or in person in your own area.

Maths, sciences, English and languages, usually with a specific exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and a target grade.
11+ and entrance exams
Parents preparing children for grammar school or independent school entrance tests.
Adult learners

Working as a tutor in the UK

Tutors in the UK usually work as self-employed and report income to HMRC through Self Assessment. A £1,000 trading allowance applies to small amounts of self-employment income.

Parents of younger children often ask for a DBS check. Mentioning that you have one, if you do, makes a profile more trusted.

General information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change; check the official source or an adviser for your situation.
