Latimer Tuition
How it Works
Direct tutor contact, pay-as-you-go pricing, and a simple four-step journey from search to first lesson.
Browse tutors, message the one you like, and we'll introduce you by email so you can decide whether the fit feels right before lessons begin.
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 silly fees or starting fees
- You only pay for the lessons you arrange with the tutor, with no packages or long-term tie-in.
- 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.
£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.
Billing and payments
Latimer Tuition invoices after lessons have taken place. That keeps the model pay-as-you-go and avoids advance lesson charges.
- Add a card when you're ready
- On the Billing page, you can choose Add new card to keep a payment method on file for future invoices.
- 48 hours' notice before a saved card is charged
- Invoices are emailed as soon as the tutor marks the lesson complete and submits a lesson report. If you have a card on file, we wait 2 days after that invoice email before taking payment.
- Manual payments still work
- If no card is saved, you can pay the invoice from the email you receive. Tutors may decide to pause future lessons if earlier invoices are still outstanding when the next lesson begins.
- Bank transfer option
- Once an invoice has been raised, open it from the Billing page and choose pay by bank transfer. Use the unique transfer reference shown there rather than the invoice number.
- Billing support
- If something does not look right on the billing side, please contact us.
Joining lessons and reminders
Microsoft Teams is the default lesson platform, but you and the tutor can agree another meeting method if that suits you better.
- 1. Choose the lesson platform
- Teams is the default, but Google Meet, Zoom, or another agreed option is fine. If you arrange a different platform with the tutor, you can ignore the Latimer-generated Teams links.
- 2. 24 hours before the session
- We send an email reminder before the lesson. If WhatsApp reminders are enabled on the account, we may also send a WhatsApp version of that reminder.
- 3. 1 hour and 10 minutes before
- One hour before the lesson we send an email with the joining link, and we send a final email reminder 10 minutes before the session starts. The 1-hour reminder can also be sent by WhatsApp when enabled.
- 4. Optional WhatsApp reminders
- To enable WhatsApp reminders for your own account, update the Extra Fields section in your profile. If you would also like the student to receive reminders directly, go to My Students, open the student record, choose Actions, then Edit, add their details, and enable the same WhatsApp reminders option there too.
Cancellations and who to contact
The fastest route depends on the type of issue. Lesson scheduling stays primarily between you and the tutor, while Latimer handles account and billing support.
- Cancel through your account or the tutor
- You can cancel a booking in your account by opening the lesson and selecting cancel, or you can contact the tutor directly.
- Why contacting the tutor is preferred
- Messaging the tutor directly lets you explain the reason for the cancellation and suggest alternative times if you want to rearrange.
- Lessons within 24 hours
- Whether a lesson can be refunded or rescheduled within 24 hours is at the tutor's discretion.
- Who to contact for what
- For payments, booking sessions, rescheduling, cancellations, curriculum help, and general lesson support, contact the tutor directly. For billing concerns, account issues, or anything else administrative, please contact Latimer Tuition.
