Our tutor selection process
Finding dedicated, high-quality tutors is at the heart of our mission. Building on over a decade of experience in successful recruitment, we've refined a comprehensive three-phase selection process designed to welcome talented individuals who share our commitment to transforming lives through tutoring. We have three key phases in the selection process:
Application
Your application form is the first step towards becoming a valued tutor with us! You will find the online application form here (LINK). The information you provide is crucial in helping us assess your suitability for an interview. Please complete all sections of the form clearly and thoroughly. Please do not send CVs, as we cannot accept them.
The personal statement section is your chance to shine and tell us why you're the right person to become a tutor with Tutor Trust! Using specific examples, please explain how your knowledge, skills, and experience align with the essential and desirable criteria outlined in the Person Specification.
Interview
If your application is successful, you'll attend a 30-minute online interview with a panel of two people. This interview is a chance for us to get to know you better and for you to learn more about the role.
During the interview, the panel will ask you a set of four questions covering key aspects of the tutor role, including your motivations for joining Tutor Trust and your interest and passion for the subject you want to tutor. You will also take part in a five-minute roleplay situation and this will be sent to you prior to the interview so that you can prepare. We ask all candidates the same set of questions to ensure a fair and consistent process.
Training
All our tutors are required to complete our comprehensive Core Tutor Training, which will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to excel in your role. The training involves approximately 10 hours of online, self-paced learning and three Live Sessions, held on Zoom, with our trainers and fellow new tutors, totalling 3.5 hours spread across these sessions.
