What qualifications and skills will I need to take part?

Current guidance states that One to One tuition should only be carried out by someone who is suitably qualified.

This is normally:

• someone with qualified teacher status (QTS)
• an overseas teacher qualified to teach in schools in England
• trainee teachers in the summer before they gain QTS, or
• those with teaching and subject-specific qualifications from the higher education or further education sectors.

Tuition is aimed at supporting pupils in mathematics and/or English, and you will need to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the subject you wish to provide one-to-one tuition in. This does not necessarily mean you must have a degree in the subject and you do not have to be teaching it.

It will be at the discretion of the school to decide whether you have sufficient subject knowledge to be a tutor on the One to One Tuition Programme.

Cross-phase tutoring is allowed, so a primary teacher can tutor secondary and vice versa.
