How people actually choose a tutor.

Tutoring is mostly bought by parents, and they buy at predictable moments of worry: a poor report, a mock exam, a looming 11+ or GCSE, a child who has lost confidence in maths. They search by subject, level and place - GCSE maths tutor in their town, 11+ tutor near them - and they want to know straight away whether you cover their child's exam board, whether lessons are in person or online, and what it costs per hour. Safeguarding is a real concern even if parents do not always ask directly, so DBS checks and a professional approach matter. They want evidence of experience, often a qualified teacher, and a trial or consultation before committing. Adult learners and A-level students searching for themselves behave similarly but care more about flexibility and online options.

When demand peaks. September and January are the big starts, with a mock-exam surge in late autumn and early spring. 11+ enquiries cluster in the year before the test.

The problem

What most tutors & tuition centres websites get wrong.

Many tutors depend entirely on tutoring marketplaces, which take a cut of every lesson and own the relationship with the parent. A tutor's own site should do what the marketplace profile does - subjects, levels, availability, price - and add what it cannot: pages that rank for local subject searches, a proper explanation of approach, and direct booking without commission. The common failure is a single "I tutor all subjects" page, which ranks for nothing and convinces no one. The other is ignoring availability; good tutors are full by October, and a site that does not say so wastes everyone's time.

What it has to do

The jobs a tutor website is built for.

  1. Trial lesson or consultation booking

    Parents want to see the fit before committing to a term.

  2. Enquiry with subject, level and exam board captured

    Lets you reply with a useful answer rather than a list of questions.

  3. Waiting list for the next term

    Full tutors can fill next year's diary before the summer.

Concept build

What a tutor website could look like.

Penrose is designed like a finance app's launch page rather than a practice brochure. A light, ledger-grey hero with a faint grid carries one line in light Urbanist: 'Monthly fees, published', with the last word in Newsreader italic. Below it, a rounded window holds a Blender coin (silver rim, navy enamel, a raised pound sign), and six small dashboard cards float loosely round it: the fixed £95 fee with twelve identical monthly bars, £0.00 hourly billing, filings ticked off, the next deadline, the switching handover with the client manager's photo, and HMRC authorisation received.

Questions

Tutors & Tuition Centres: what people ask us

I get students through tutoring platforms. Why do I need my own website?
Your own website lets parents find and book you directly, without a platform taking commission on every lesson. Platforms are useful while you build a client list, but they own the relationship. A site with pages for your subjects and levels in your area can bring in local students and keep them.
Should I mention my DBS check on my tutoring website?
Yes. Parents want to know who will be alone with their child, and a short safeguarding statement mentioning your DBS check answers that without them having to ask. Self-employed tutors can apply for a basic check themselves, while an enhanced check usually goes through an agency or umbrella body - say which you hold.
Should I put my prices on my website?
Almost always yes. Hiding prices loses more enquiries than it protects, because people assume the worst and go to a competitor who publishes theirs. If your pricing genuinely varies, publish a range and explain in one sentence what moves it - that converts far better than "contact us for a quote".
