How it works

From application to your first student

1

Apply in 3 minutes

Your subjects, grades, when you could teach and a photo of your DBS certificate. Your next-step link arrives on WhatsApp and email straight away.

2

Quick guide check

A short read of how we work and ten questions. About 10 minutes, no trick questions.

3

A 2–3 minute teaching clip

Film yourself teaching one topic on your phone and attach it. No editing, no interview to book.

4

Sign & start

Sign your agreement online (adding referees is optional), then get matched to students who fit your subjects.

Who we're looking for

Know your subject. Help someone master it.

Online & flexible

Teach from anywhere, around your studies. You choose the hours that work for you.

One-to-one teaching

Every session is personalised to a single student — real impact, not a lecture to a class.

Students matched to you

We match you to students by subject and level, so you're teaching what you achieved top grades in.

Questions

Before you apply

Do I need teaching or tutoring experience?

No. Strong subject knowledge and the ability to explain things clearly are what count. Experience helps, but it isn't required.

How many hours can I work?

You set your own availability, so it fits around your timetable. Tell us the days and hours that suit you in the application.

Do I need a DBS check?

Yes. You'll need a copy of a DBS certificate (Basic, Standard or Enhanced) to apply, and you upload a photo or PDF of it on step 1. If you don't have one yet, you can apply for a Basic DBS at gov.uk/request-copy-criminal-record.

Is it fully online?

Yes. All sessions are one-to-one online lessons on Exceed Prep, so you can teach from wherever you are.

When can I start?

Once you've finished the short online onboarding (guide check, teaching clip and agreement), we match you to your first students.
