- How are tutors matched with students?With care and experience! Firstly, we'll filter by tutors who can help with the subject and level you've requested. Then, we'll take into consideration any details you've provided in your quotation request. This can include tutor background, gender, age or other preferences. You're welcome to be as specific as you'd like when requesting a tutor. It's important that the student feels comfortable with the tutor they've been matched with.

- What is your tutoring approach/methodology?We only take on experienced tutors, and as such, we leave that to them. We don't impose restrictions on tutors, but usually, it's a blend of visual and verbal communication. Many of our tutors utilise graphics tablets and touch screens to interact with the student on a whiteboard. This is especially useful for questions, allowing the tutor to go through worked examples on screen. By default, we send Microsoft Teams links to parents/guardians and tutors before lessons but you're welcome to agree on another meeting medium if you or the tutor prefer a different way to interact. Even though we don't enforce rules on how our tutors engage with the student, you're welcome to mention this when making your quotation request and we'll take this into consideration.

- Do you offer in-person tutoring, online tutoring, or both?Our service is online only at the moment, but if you and the tutor happen to be close by, we don't mind in-person!

- Are there any discounts or packages available for multiple sessions?You would be best speaking to your tutor about this one, we can't make agreements on packages of lessons (due to our legal position as an Employment Agency, rather than the tuition provider). Each tutor controls their own rate, so should you fancy striking up a rate-based deal, best to contact them, and they'll inform us if any accounting amendments are due.

- What is your cancellation policy?Latimer Tutors generally enforce a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you wish to cancel, reschedule, or edit a lesson's date or time, please provide the tutor with as much notice as possible. It is recommended to make such requests in writing for future reference.Cancellation notices are considered effective from the moment they are sent. If you receive any lesson reminders for a lesson you’ve already cancelled but have not yet received a reply from the tutor, please ignore those reminders.Please note that Latimer Tutors are self-employed contractors. This means you will need to discuss cancellations, rescheduling, or refunds directly with your tutor, as not all tutors enforce the same policies. Since tutors operate independently, Latimer Tuition cannot override their discretion regarding refunds or cancellations. If you are dissatisfied with your tutor’s cancellation policy, please contact us for assistance.
