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.
Browse verified tutors
Search by subject, level, and whether you want online or in-person lessons.
Find your match
Compare profiles, subjects, and prices to see who fits how you like to learn.
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.
Create your profile
Sign up, then add your subjects, levels, and your rates.
Get DBS-verified
Upload your DBS certificate. We verify it before your profile goes live.
Get found
Verified tutors appear in search, and students connect with you directly.
