How it works

How Tutor Island works

Two simple journeys. One for finding a tutor, one for becoming one. Here is how each works, from first step to first lesson.

For students and parents

Finding a tutor

Find the right DBS-verified tutor and arrange lessons directly.

  1. Browse verified tutors

    Search by subject, level, and whether you want online or in-person lessons.

  2. Find your match

    Compare profiles, subjects, and prices to see who fits how you like to learn.

  3. Connect

    Message a tutor. Once they accept, pay a one-off fee to connect and unlock their contact details.

For tutors

Becoming a tutor

Set up your profile, get verified, and start receiving enquiries.

  1. Create your profile

    Sign up, then add your subjects, levels, and your rates.

  2. Get DBS-verified

    Upload your DBS certificate. We verify it before your profile goes live.

  3. Get found

    Verified tutors appear in search, and students connect with you directly.
