Last updated: 25th April 2025

1. Introduction

In these Terms and Conditions:

    • “Select Tutors” refers to the business and people running the Select Tutors website;

    • “Tutors” refers to anyone qualified and experienced to provide tuition who contacts Select Tutors to be introduced to a person or group seeking tuition, either at our Educational Centre(s) or at the client’s premises;

    • “Clients” refers to anyone using the Select Tutors website intending to enter into an agreement, written or verbal, with a tutor for tuition services.

We reserve the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting changes on the website. It is your responsibility to review them regularly to ensure you are aware of the latest version.

2. Terms and Conditions for Tutors

2.1 Service Overview

Select Tutors provides a promotional service for tutors offering private tuition or work within our Educational Centre(s). When contacted by a prospective client, Select Tutors will:

    • Contact suitable tutors by email or phone to discuss requirements and availability;

    • Upon the tutor’s agreement, share contact details with the student.

2.2 Tutor Eligibility

Tutors must:

    • Be aged 21 or over;

    • Be fully qualified to teach in the UK (holding a relevant degree, PGCE, or QTS).

2.3 Client Suitability

We endeavour to ensure, but cannot guarantee, the suitability of any client introduced. Select Tutors accepts no liability for loss, damage, or compensation arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission by a client introduced to a tutor.

2.4 Tutor Responsibilities

Tutors providing one-to-one home tuition must:

    • Notify Select Tutors immediately upon accepting a client;

    • Treat all arrangements as permanent unless otherwise specified;

    • Pay the applicable monthly commission fee to Select Tutors three working days before the end of the month.

Tutors must maintain professional conduct, including punctuality, reliability, and appropriate attire for teaching.

2.5 Commission Fees

    • Select Tutors charges a £7.50 per hour commission for each tutoring session.

    • Example: Four one-hour sessions = £30 commission for that month.

    • If teaching multiple clients, the total commission applies across all sessions.

    • Tutors who do not wish to be introduced to new clients must notify Select Tutors before the first working day of the month.
    • Tutors working with our affiliated centres are welcome to contact Select Tutors via email or post for the most up-to-date fee information.

Failure to pay commission on time constitutes a breach of these Terms and may lead to termination of registration and legal recovery of owed fees.

2.6 Tutor Status

Tutors are self-employed subcontractors, not employees of Select Tutors.
As such, tutors are responsible for:

    • Their own Tax and National Insurance contributions;

    • Providing an up-to-date Enhanced DBS Disclosure (required for teaching anyone under 17);

    • Their own insurance coverage, including vehicle use for travel to clients’ homes.
    • As you operate on a self-employed basis, statutory holiday pay does not apply, in line with the Working Time Regulation 1998, which covers employees and workers rather than self-employed individuals.

2.7 Liability

Select Tutors is not liable for losses, injury, or death resulting from the tutor’s or client’s negligence.

2.8 Privacy and Data Use

Select Tutors respects personal privacy. Information collected is used to promote tutors’ services.
