Tutor

Tutors are individuals who are highly educated and specialised in a particular subject. Tutors often have a teaching background and are able to assist students academically by means of providing extra tuition on a one to one basis. A tutor may be employed by a family to assist with a student's homework after school in a variety of subjects such as Maths, English and Science, provide extra support in the acquisition of English as a Second Language, or concentrate on preparing the student for an important test or exam such as SATs and GCSEs.
