“Very easy to find what I wanted - and online help available promptly when I had some technical problems in accessing the site.”

“An expensive advertising site. The Finders Fee for my tutor was £25. The references are hardly a guide to their work ethic having been written by friends and only including the first name of the peron writing it. I am astonished why First Tutors think this is a acceptable indication of a person's reliability and suitability to work with children. There is no CRB guaranteed. They do check the person's right to work in the UK which is the least of my concerns. I thought I was paying for robust background checks - but it appears not. Should I need another tutor, next time I will ask the school and other parents who they use.”

Dear Clare, We are disappointed to read your review and are sorry you feel our finder’s fee is expensive. First Tutors charge a finder’s fee to connect you with your chosen tutor, after you have used the free messaging platform to discuss your requirements with as many tutors as you like. You may like to read the information at the following link to see how our service compares to other agency services: https://www.firsttutors.com/uk/about-us/ Regarding the security checks completed on registered tutors: before we provide a tutor's contact details to you we have collected copies of certain information submitted by the tutor. References: We are legally required to collect two references for our tutors in accordance with employment agency regulations and the Information Commissioner's Office with whom we are registered. Tutors that are new to the professional may not have existing experience in the field and therefore we don't place limitations on the type of reference we receive; however all references are reviewed by our Compliance Manager to ensure suitability to use our service. We are unable to pass on the full name of referees to clients for data protection reasons. Photo Identity: Tutors must provide us with a scanned, clear copy of their photo identity. We follow the proof of identity checklist as outlined by the government. Proof Of Address: All tutors must pass an identity check to prove their residency in the UK. Private Tuition is not classed as a regulated activity under government legislation and as such a private tutor is not required to have a DBS check (unlike teachers in schools who must have this). A parent or guardian is always expected to be present when private tuition takes place. I hope that the above has provided some clarity on the checks we complete for tutors who are registered on the site. If you have any further questions please contact our Customer Support team directly. Kind regards, First Tutors

“Straightforward process and reasonably easy site to navigate. Some very odd behaviour when trying to do quite simple things to put times into messages (apparently they are mistaken for phone numbers) but the process was simple and effective.”
