Become a tutor

We recruit experienced university students and match them with students they are genuinely right for.

Tutivate recruits experienced university-student tutors directly through university networks and reviews each tutor before they can be introduced to families. We record subject strengths, exam-board experience, availability and teaching style, so matches are made on detail rather than on a first-come basis.

Why tutor with Tutivate

Matched, not queued

You are proposed for students who fit your subjects, boards and teaching style.

Admin handled

Enquiries, matching and scheduling support sit with us, so you can teach.

Real feedback

We attend compatibility trials where appropriate and give you honest, specific feedback.

Resources and guidance

Structure and materials for the stages you teach, developed as the network grows.

What we look for

  • Current university student or recent graduate with strong subject knowledge
  • Experience teaching, mentoring or tutoring at the stage you apply for
  • Reliable internet and a quiet space for online lessons
  • Willingness to tell us how you teach, so we can match you accurately
  • Right to work in the UK and willingness to complete the checks Tutivate introduces

How it works from here

  • Register your interest

    A short form: your name, how to reach you and anything you would like us to know.

  • We get in touch

    By WhatsApp, telephone or email, whichever you asked for.

  • Informal interview

    A conversation about your subjects, exam boards, availability and how you teach.

  • Checks, then matching

    Identity and safeguarding checks are completed before you are introduced to any student.

  • Tutor questions

    Do I need formal teaching experience?

    No, but you do need real experience helping students at the level you apply for, and you need to be able to explain how you teach.

    How are lessons paid?

    Your rate and the payment schedule are agreed in writing with you before your first paid lesson. We go through this during the application process.

    How much work will I get?

    It depends on your subjects, boards and availability. We match rather than queue, so we will be honest about demand in your area of strength.

    What checks are required?

    Tutivate reviews every applicant before they can be introduced to a family. Our formal screening and safeguarding policy is in preparation, and we will tell you exactly what is required before you are matched with any student.

    Register your interest

    There is no long application form and no account to create. Send us your details and we will be in touch to arrange an informal interview.

    We use this to arrange an informal interview.

    Optional. Your university, subjects, exam boards and rough availability are all useful.

    We store what you send so we can respond properly, and we record your consent. We do not share your details with anyone else. You do not need to create an account.
