Accessibility on Tutor Island
We want Tutor Island to be usable by as many people as possible, whatever device or assistive technology you use. This statement explains what we do, where we know we fall short, and how to tell us about a problem.
What we do
Reduced motion is respected. Every animation on the site, the scrolling subject strip, the fade-in sections, and the count-up figures, is gated behind your system’s reduced-motion setting. If you ask your device to reduce motion, those effects are switched off and content simply appears.
Keyboard and focus. The site can be navigated with a keyboard, and interactive elements show a visible focus outline so you can always see where you are.
Semantic structure. Pages use real headings in order and landmark regions, so screen readers and other tools can move through them predictably.
Readable contrast. Text uses a dark ink colour on a warm off-white background chosen for comfortable, legible contrast, and we try not to rely on colour alone to carry meaning.
Where we know we fall short
Tutor Island is new and built in stages, so some rough edges remain. We have not yet completed a full independent accessibility audit, and some newer interactive parts of the site, for example the swipeable card carousels on small screens, may not yet work perfectly with every assistive technology. We are working through these as the platform grows.
Reporting a problem
If something on Tutor Island is hard to use, or stops you doing what you came to do, please tell us. Email support@tutorisland.co.uk with the page and what happened, and we will do our best to put it right and to fix the underlying issue for everyone.
This statement describes our current practice. It is not a claim of conformance to a specific accessibility standard.
