COVID-19 UPDATE

Whilst backing Government action, the Association recognises that many parents are now facing the challenge of an indefinite period of home schooling. We acknowledge the great work that schools are already doing in helping provide material and lesson plans for their students, and are keen to complement this work in the most effective way possible. Tutors are in a strong position to assist parents not just with the delivery of content (should they deem that necessary), but in assisting with the creation of a balanced programme of academic and non-academic activities to maintain the focus of students in a planned and low-stress way. This is important not just for the children, but for the sanity of parents attempting to balance the competing priorities of their childrens’ and their own workloads.


We would encourage parents and guardians to use Tutor Association Members; all TTA members possess a valid DBS check and have signed up to a rigorous Code of Conduct and robust Child Safeguarding protocols.

 Parents can check who is a member here.

WELCOME

The Tutors' Association (TTA) is the only professional membership body for tutoring and the wider supplementary education sector in the UK. Becoming a member The Tutors' Association signifies becoming part of the UK government recognised professional body.  

As well as supporting our Members we inform the public on all things to do with tuition and supplementary education in the UK. 


Schools, pupils and parents are increasingly working more closely with tutors to help raise pupils’ attainment and confidence. Yet the role of tutors and supplementary educators has gone largely unrecognised. The Tutors' Association seeks to change that and raise the sector’s profile by promoting tutoring as a viable profession and encouraging professional development. 


If you are part of an industry or profession that needs to get its voice heard, consider joining a professional body – even if there is nothing you want out of it personally. By being a part of it you are actively contributing to the protection and well-being of the sector in which you have chosen to operate. ‘The greater good’ may not be a popular motivation – but it is one that really matters.  Through our Affiliate Partner Network, we can offer members a range of resources from discounted books to legal and accountancy services, training and more.   

 

Subscription to the Association's Code of professional practice for organisational and individual members and the Code of Ethics for Individual Tutors is a requirement of membership. Corporate members are responsible for monitoring whether tutors with whom they work honour these codes.


TTA registered tutors are required to have a DBS less than three years old. They should adhere to the Association's Child Protection Guidance and if working for a Tutoring company, sign up to and adhere to their policy.

Online Tutoring Companies should hold a Code of Conduct which should include a clause on cyber-bullying.
