Put different tutoring offers side by side

The words “tutoring company” do not tell you what is being sold. Begin with the lesson format and the work included, then compare the practical commitment. The questions below form a comparison sheet you can use with actual quotes; they do not describe a group or membership offer from Latimer.

Teaching and individual attention
Record whether the offer is live one-to-one teaching, a group session, independent resources or a mixture. For a group, ask how many learners share the session and how individual questions are handled.
Time and feedback included
Write down session length, number of sessions and any preparation, marking or feedback included. Ask what happens between sessions and whether you will keep the same tutor.
Total commitment
Compare the cost over the same period, adding agreed extras. Check payment timing, cancellation, missed-session and stopping terms before deciding that one headline price is lower.

Compare teaching format separately from location

Check both how many learners share a session and where it takes place. For school pupils, EEF’s review of small-group tuition finds mixed results in comparisons with one-to-one teaching: group size alone does not settle which approach will suit a child.

One-to-one lessons
Ask how the tutor will choose priorities and change the pace when the learner needs more explanation or is ready to move on.
Group or centre provision
Check group size, whether learners work on the same material, and how an individual receives help when they get stuck. Ask what practice or feedback is included.
Online lessons
Confirm whether the offer is live teaching, independent resources, or a mixture. Check that the learner can join the agreed platform and work comfortably in the planned space.

Compare the teaching plan, not only the format

Give each provider the same starting task or concern and ask how teaching would address it. For example, if a pupil can follow an explanation but cannot start alone, ask what the teacher would observe, what feedback the learner would receive and how an independent attempt would be reviewed.

The EEF’s school-focused one-to-one tuition guidance emphasises identifying gaps and reviewing progress. Use those questions to compare the proposed support; neither a company label nor a busy schedule establishes that fit.

If the format suits but you need help choosing an individual tutor, read about assisted agency matching.

Compare the cost of the whole arrangement

Compare quotes over the same period and for the same amount of teaching. Check lesson length, planned sessions, included practice resources and any additional fees. For hourly tuition, a useful starting estimate is hourly rate × lesson hours × planned sessions, with any agreed extras added separately.

If another provider offers a monthly membership, ask what you can actually use during that month and what happens to missed sessions. Read the notice and cancellation terms even when an offer is described as flexible. A lower headline price is only useful if the teaching and commitment fit your needs.

At Latimer, each tutor sets the hourly rate shown on their profile. Lessons are invoiced after they take place on a pay-as-you-go basis, without requiring a long-term lesson package. Confirm cancellation and rescheduling arrangements before booking.

Checks when choosing tuition for a child

The NSPCC’s parent guidance recommends checking references and appropriate criminal-record checks before engaging a tutor. Agree that communication outside sessions goes through the parent, and keep an adult within earshot during tuition. Ask your child about their preferences and check regularly that they remain comfortable.

For parents in England, the Department for Education’s guide also recommends asking about the child-protection policy, the person responsible for safeguarding and the complaints process. It cautions that a single check cannot establish suitability. Read the arrangements and ask how they work in practice.

Start with Latimer Tuition

Latimer’s service centres on online one-to-one lessons. You can browse tutor profiles or make a free matching request. Use either route to explain your priorities and decide whether the proposed arrangement fits.

  1. Share the brief

    Give the learner’s goal, the support they need, preferred times and budget. Include any access or communication needs that affect lessons.

  2. Meet before paid lessons

    Latimer tutors offer a free introductory meeting to discuss goals, approach and arrangements. Use it to understand how you would work together; it is normally not a full teaching lesson.

  3. Agree the practical details

    After introduction, arrange lessons directly with the tutor. Confirm the schedule, practice and feedback you expect. Microsoft Teams is the default platform, but you and the tutor may agree another.

Support and clarity

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often.

Is a tutoring company better than hiring a tutor directly?

Compare the work you want help with. Ask what the company does for tutor choice, payments and concerns, and what you will arrange yourself. Then assess the individual tutor’s approach. The company’s role should be clear enough for you to decide whether its service is useful.

Can I arrange in-person lessons through Latimer?

Latimer is online-first. In-person tuition needs a separate agreement with a suitably located tutor, so confirm that arrangement before choosing on the basis of location. If travel or physical presence is essential, include it in your first enquiry.

How often should I book lessons?

Agree a schedule around the learner’s difficulty, timescale, energy and time for practice. EEF’s school-intervention evidence favours regular support over a defined period, but it does not prescribe a private-tuition timetable for every learner. Choose a feasible review point before adding more sessions.

What if my child needs additional learning support?

Describe what helps your child participate and what makes lessons difficult. Ask about relevant experience and specific changes, such as pace, breaks or how instructions are presented. DfE guidance for parents in England recommends establishing what support a provider can and cannot supply. Confirm this with the individual tutor before booking.

Does a free matching request commit me to a lesson package?

The matching request is free. Latimer’s lesson billing is pay as you go, with invoices after lessons, rather than a required long-term package. Discuss the tutor’s rate and the booking arrangements before agreeing to paid lessons.

What should I do if the lessons are not helping?

Bring a specific concern to the tutor: a task the learner still cannot start, a pace that feels wrong or practice they cannot manage. Review the agreed goal and examples of work, then discuss changing the approach. If a service issue remains unresolved, use the company’s stated contact or complaints route.
