Private tutor: the basics
What the job involves
Tutors teach one-to-one or in small groups at your home, theirs, a tuition centre or online, usually weekly in term time, with more sessions before exams. Many are current or former teachers; others are subject specialists or students.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Say the subject, level and what the pupil finds difficult, and whether you want in-person or online. Ask about qualifications and teaching experience, how they assess progress, the hourly rate and cancellation policy, and whether they hold a recent enhanced DBS certificate they can show you.
Safety and good to know
There is no licensing for tutors in the UK, so references and a DBS certificate matter; for a child, stay in the house during home sessions. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.
Good to know
a tutor should assess the pupil first and set clear goals, then report progress to you. Online tutoring can work well for older pupils; younger children often do better in person. Ask about availability through exam season, when good tutors are in demand.

How do I check a tutor's DBS?
Ask to see the certificate (it shows the date and level) and whether they are on the DBS Update Service, which lets them share an up-to-date status check. Agencies usually handle this for their tutors.
