February has been a very busy month for The Tutors’ Association and the wider tuition sector; our team has been working incredibly hard on a range of initiatives, benefits and events. In particular, nominations for the National Tutoring Awards have now opened! The National Tutoring Awards, now in their third year, have proved to be incredibly popular and successful, celebrating dedication, achievement and value across the tuition sector. Many thanks to our sponsors, especially our Platinum Sponsors, Pencil Spaces; their support ensures we can make these events as affordable as possible whilst running a truly amazing event. The awards celebration on the 21st of June promises to be a spectacular showcase of tutor talent! Nominate yourself or a deserving tutor, business or supplier, here.
Many of you will no doubt have your mind cast further ahead to the eighth National Tutors’ Conference, scheduled again to be held in Church House, Westminster, on Thursday the 24th of October 2024. This is the largest event in the tuition sector that we are aware of and planning is already well underway. We’ve now published the call for speakers and we are keen to hear from you whether you are new to tuition and have interesting ideas or are an established authority in the sector with experience and knowledge to share. Click here to submit your application to speak and share ideas, innovations and experiences with other tutors and tuition businesses in the largest tuition event of the year.
On the 22nd of February, we celebrated the first in this year’s series of Regional Networking Events, in London, which was incredibly well attended and enjoyed. It was delightful to see so many of you there! Immediately prior to the London Regional Event, we held our first board meeting with the new board of directors and I’m pleased to report that we made huge amounts of progress making decisions about new and exciting benefits we will soon be able to announce to you all.
I’m very grateful to all of our directors, staff, volunteers and members for making The Tutors’ Association a manifest force for good in the sector; as a democratic, non-profit organisation, TTA exists only because of its members and we strive to offer outstanding value for money with a wide range of benefits whilst having kept our membership costs frozen for ten years.
