Tutor agencies come in all shapes and sizes – and so do the type of services they offer.
A traditional tutor agency will provide you with a full service by carrying out every step required to help you to find a tutor, including selecting the tutor, checking references and carrying out a Criminal Records Check. They are usually also on hand should any issues arise. They usually charge a fee for this, which is recouped from the tutor.
Under this category are often grouped certain other types of tutor finding services that are not quite tutor agencies but offer similar types of services. Some of these provide a service that will match you to a tutor and then leave you to work out the arrangements between you. And there are others still who will provide you with a list of tutors in your area for you to contact yourself.
When choosing a tutor agency you should think carefully about what you want from them so that you can choose the type that is right for you. See below for a list of tutor agencies. Some have more detailed profiles with information about the services they offer.
