Rate of Pay for the Tutor Search database
Rates of pay are negotiable, but £18 per tutor hour or £7 per learner hour is in line with the national average. As self employed individuals, tutors need to decide whether they are in agreement with the terms and conditions laid out in the contract.
Self-employed tutors may find it advisable to obtain professional indemnity insurance. Whilst this is not essential, any person who gives advice, designs, or offers similar services in a professional capacity is seen by clients as an expert, and many believe that in these times of high consumer awareness, clients will not hesitate to pursue a claim if they feel that they have received sub-standard service. Without insurance, the financial security of a business is threatened.
Tutors must be aware that registration with the learndirect Tutor Search is not a guarantee or promise of work. The likelihood of tutors being offered work will depend on their skills and experience as well as the level of demand across the network for the courses they are offering to support.
