The process

How it Works

Direct tutor contact, pay-as-you-go pricing, and a simple four-step journey from search to first lesson.

Why families learn with us

Latimer Tuition represents a new approach to the tuition market, placing emphasis on the personal connection between tutors and their clients.

  • Direct contact with tutors

    When we introduce you to a tutor, you receive their contact details and can message them directly from their profile on the Find a Tutor page.

  • No starting fees or packages

    You pay as lessons are completed, with no package or long-term tie-in. The employment-agency split is kept clear before lessons begin.

  • Future opportunities

    Many former Latimer Tuition students go on to tutor with us because the model is flexible, personal, and practical.

Affordable and sensible pricing

Tutors pick their own price, Latimer Tuition handles the payment process, and transparent pricing rarely changes for existing students.

£20-£30 per hour

A-Level students and graduates, university students and graduates, ex/current teaching assistants, and full-time tutors. Usually £20-£30 per hour.

£25-£50 per hour

Current and retired teachers, current and retired examiners, and current and retired lecturers. Usually £25-£50 per hour.

Quick, easy, and simple

From first search to first lesson, the process is designed to stay clear and low-pressure.

  1. Find a Tutor

    Click Find a Tutor to browse our tutors. Use the filters to narrow your search and find the tutor that best suits your needs.

  2. Message a Tutor

    Once you've found a tutor you like, send them a message and briefly explain what support you're looking for.

  3. Chat directly with your tutor

    We'll introduce you by email so you can ask questions, discuss requirements, and decide whether the fit feels right. You're welcome to communicate with tutors over email, WhatsApp, SMS, telephone calls, or video calls.

  4. Begin Lessons (or book a free intro meeting)

    If it feels like the right fit, ask the tutor to book in some lessons. If not, you can return to the directory and keep browsing. You're also welcome to ask the tutor to book a free intro meeting (usually 15 to 30 minutes) so you can set aside a time to speak with the tutor and experience the process of joining future lessons on our platform.

What families can expect

The Latimer model is designed to stay clear, flexible, and honest from the start.

Transparent pricing
The price we present is the price you pay.
Pay-as-you-go
We invoice after lessons, accept online card payments and bank transfers, and provide 48 hours' notice before charging a saved card.
No contract, no tie-in
No one should be locked into tutoring. Families continue only while the lessons feel worthwhile. Some Latimer Tutors do operate a 24-hour cancellation policy.
Stop anytime
Families return on a weekly basis because they want to, not because they have to.

After you sign up

Once you and a tutor decide to continue, your customer dashboard becomes the place to keep track of lessons, invoices, reminders, and student details without losing the direct relationship with the tutor.

  • You still arrange tutoring directly with the tutor after the introduction stage.
  • Your online account helps you review billing, student details, and lesson reminders in one place.
  • For day-to-day lesson planning, rescheduling, curriculum help, and general tutoring questions, contact your tutor directly.

Questions about billing, reminders, or cancellations?

The FAQs cover how pay-as-you-go invoicing and card or bank-transfer payments work, which platforms lessons run on, the email and WhatsApp reminders we send, and how to cancel or rearrange lessons.
