Q3. I am not a qualified teacher, does this matter?
No. Although some parents do specifically ask for a teacher because they feel a teacher is the only person that can help their child, you do not necessarily have to be a teacher to be a good private-home tutor. Parents seek extra help for their children, because for whatever reason, the pupil’s school is not providing sufficient help to their child. Therefore, tutors who are not teachers approach lessons from a different angle. An effective private home tutor is someone who knows their subject well and can explain topics in a way that the pupil understands. The only problem with not being a teacher is that you may have to sell yourself a little more when you contact the parents initially.

Q4. What exactly does private home-tutoring involve?
Conducting private home-tuition involves travelling to the pupil’s house once a week for 1-2 hours and helping the pupil through explaining and improving understanding of difficult topics, helping with assessed coursework, improving confidence by praising the pupil, improving the pupil’s exam technique by working through past exam papers.
