Use matching help to narrow the tutor search

You may know what is going wrong without knowing which specialism or tutor to choose. Describe the task and the point where help is needed, rather than trying to diagnose the problem yourself. Latimer’s matching request is free; you can also browse profiles if you prefer to choose whom to approach.

After an introduction, discuss the individual’s relevant experience and how they would approach the task. Make responsibilities clear before booking: a helpful match and the arrangements for ongoing lessons are related but separate questions.

What to put in the request
Include the learner’s goal, a recent difficulty, course details where relevant, budget and workable times. Add access or delivery requirements that would affect the match.
What to ask about the proposed tutor
Ask how their experience relates to that brief. Use a recent example of work to discuss teaching approach, pace and the first priority.
Who handles the next steps
Confirm scheduling, payment, changes and the contact route for concerns. With Latimer, lessons are arranged directly with the tutor after introduction; check the applicable terms before booking.

Use the introduction to assess tutor fit

Latimer offers a free introductory meeting to discuss goals, teaching approach and arrangements. Use the conversation to make the learner’s needs concrete and decide whether to arrange paid lessons.

  1. Explain the starting point

    Describe what the learner wants to achieve, what they find difficult and any relevant deadline. Ask about the tutor’s qualifications and experience with that particular goal; a strong general profile still needs to fit the person learning.

  2. Discuss how the tutor would teach

    Bring a recent piece of work or an example of a sticking point. For example, a learner may answer correctly with prompts but get stuck alone. Ask how the tutor would explain the reasoning, reduce the prompts and check a later independent attempt.

  3. Agree a first focus and review point

    Choose a manageable initial goal, useful materials and any practice between lessons. Agree how you will review progress: compare a fresh independent task with the starting work and hear the learner’s view. Use that evidence to continue or adjust the approach.

  4. Set workable lesson arrangements

    After the introduction, lessons are arranged directly with the tutor. Confirm suitable times and a frequency that fits the learner’s workload and budget. Explain any access needs before agreeing the arrangement.

Confirm the terms before the first paid lesson

Latimer tutors set the hourly rates shown on their profiles, and lessons are invoiced after they take place on a pay-as-you-go basis. Confirm the agreed session length and total charge with the tutor.

Use the questions below to clarify this arrangement. If you are still comparing one-to-one, group, centre or membership offers, the tutoring-company comparison guide covers formats and total commitment.

Lesson charge and duration
Confirm the length of each lesson and the amount you will pay. Compare like-for-like sessions rather than assuming every advertised price covers the same time.
Included work and other fees
Ask what preparation, materials or feedback the price covers, whether any additional charges apply, and when payment is due.
Changes, cancellations and stopping
Read the applicable terms before booking. Confirm how to reschedule, what happens if either side cancels, and what notice or charges apply if you stop. A pay-as-you-go billing model does not answer those questions.

Online lessons and local arrangements

Latimer’s service is online first and built around one-to-one tuition. Microsoft Teams is the default lesson platform, although you and the tutor can agree another platform. Discuss how the learner will see explanations, share work and take part comfortably.

In-person lessons depend on a separate agreement with an individual tutor. If face-to-face support is essential, confirm a workable location and arrangement before booking. Make any fixed requirement clear at the outset, such as a particular lesson time or an accessible way of sharing materials.

If you are choosing tuition for a child

Ask what checks and references support the choice of tutor, how concerns are handled, and who your safeguarding contact would be. The Department for Education’s guidance for parents in England recommends checking a provider’s child-protection policy and complaints process; it also cautions that a single check cannot establish suitability.

NSPCC advice on finding a tutor covers references and the appropriate criminal-record checks, which depend on the role and UK nation. It recommends agreeing communication boundaries, keeping contact outside lessons through the parent, and having a parent or another adult within earshot during sessions. Involve the child in the arrangement and check that they remain comfortable with it.

Start with a clear tutor brief

Tell us the learner’s goal, current difficulty, budget and workable times. Add any delivery or access requirement that matters to your choice. You can browse tutor profiles yourself or send a free matching request for help finding a tutor.

Support and clarity

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often.

Is the introductory meeting a free teaching lesson?

The free introduction is a meeting to discuss the learner’s goals, the tutor’s approach and practical arrangements. Use it to decide whether to arrange paid teaching; it should not be treated as a full free lesson.

How often should lessons take place?

Agree a frequency around the learning goal, available time, workload and budget. Leave room for any agreed practice between lessons. Set a review point with the tutor and use the learner’s progress to decide whether to keep or change the schedule.

What if the tutor does not seem right?

Describe the mismatch clearly: the explanations, pace, material or arrangements. Discuss whether a specific change would help, or whether to look for another tutor. Before booking, check whom to contact and which terms apply if you stop or switch; do not assume that an introduction includes an automatic replacement.

How should I describe additional learning needs?

Explain what helps the learner take part, such as a slower pace, breaks or accessible materials, and what has been difficult before. Ask the tutor how they would adapt lessons and what support they can provide. For a child, include their views as well as the parent’s observations.
