Frequently Asked Questions about our Tuition Agency
What is a tuition agency?
A tuition agency connects families and students with vetted, trusted tutors. Instead of browsing endless profiles, Principal Tutors matches you with the right teacher quickly and efficiently.
Why should I use a tuition agency instead of finding a tutor directly?
We remove the risk and guesswork. All our tutors are UK Qualified Teachers with typically 10 years’ classroom experience. We handle the vetting and matching for you, saving time and ensuring quality.
How do you select and vet your tutors?
We have a rigorous selection process and reject around 98% of applicants. Every Approved Tutor must:
Be a fully UK Qualified Teacher
Provide proof of qualifications
Supply professional references
Pass our interview and selection process
This means you don’t have to worry about screening or vetting—we’ve done it all for you.
Do your tutors have Enhanced DBS checks?
Yes. All tutors working with Principal Tutors hold a current Enhanced DBS certificate (or overseas equivalent if based abroad). We also verify references and qualifications before approving any tutor.
Do you only offer online tuition?
Yes. We are an online-only tuition agency, giving you access to the best teachers across the UK regardless of location.
How long will it take to be matched with a tutor?
We usually match you with a tutor within 24–48 hours of receiving your enquiry. Your tutor will then contact you directly.
What subjects does your tuition agency cover?
We cover all major subjects and levels: Primary, KS2, KS3, GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, and 11+. Specialist tutors are available in Maths, English, Science, Languages and more.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. We offer flexible, pay-as-you-go tuition with no contracts or tie-ins. You can stop anytime or request a new tutor if needed. However, you would need to agree a minimum of 1 hour per week with your tutor to guarantee a fixed slot in their weekly schedule.
How do payments work?
Payments are simple and transparent. You only pay for the lessons you take, with no hidden costs or membership fees.
Can I change tutors if it’s not working out?
Yes, absolutely. If you’d prefer a different tutor, we’ll arrange one at no extra cost.
Is online tuition effective?
Yes. Online tuition is flexible, convenient and highly effective. Lessons use interactive tools such as digital whiteboards, and parents tell us their children progress quickly with our online tutors.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that things come up. If you cancel a lesson with at least 24 hours’ notice, there’s no charge. If a lesson is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, it will be chargeable, as the tutor has already reserved that time for your child.
Can we reschedule a lesson instead of cancelling?
Yes. If you know in advance that a time won’t work, simply let us or your tutor know with at least 24 hours’ notice, and we’ll do our best to arrange an alternative time that suits you. This way, your child doesn’t miss out on their learning, and you don’t lose a session.
