Tutor Accreditation

Build confidence with parents. Demonstrate your professionalism. A framework designed for private tutors committed to delivering safe, effective and high-quality tutoring.

Accreditation recognises tutors who demonstrate safe, professional and high-quality practice. It gives parents and carers greater confidence when choosing a tutor, and supports tutors to evidence their commitment to safeguarding, quality and continuous professional development.

Accreditation is not mandatory. It exists so that tutors who want to evidence quality can, and interest has already been strong since launch.
