What is it?
Basic membership is designed for self-employed tutors who want to show their professionalism through membership of a nationwide professional association for tutors. It is perfect for those new to tutoring or for those tutors who do not use tuition as their primary source of income.
What does it include?
Tutors’ Alliance Professional Membership is valid for a year and includes:
We are constantly adding to the range of services we offer our tutors to meet their needs.
How much does it cost?
Basic Membership is available through two payment methods, one-off payment or subscription.
The one-off annual payment price is £219. The subscription price is an initial payment of £49 followed by eleven monthly charges of £20, paid by Direct Debit. Paying the one-off charge saves tutors £50 on the subscription price.
Given that most tutors earn between £20 and £40 per hour, Basic Membership offers excellent value for money. It works out at the equivalent of one hour’s earnings per month. We have found that one of the greatest benefits of Tutors' Alliance is access to our marketing service, Tutors' Alliance Connect. As Tutors' Alliance is an association for the private tuition industry, Tutors' Alliance receives calls from pupils looking for a recommended tutor. Tutors' Alliance passes these queries on to our members. Tutors’ Alliance members spend far less on marketing as pupils are being referred to them through Tutors’ Alliance.
Members of Tutors’ Alliance have also reported that they are now charging between £5 and £10 per hour extra because pupils are willing to pay more for tutors who have been professionally vetted, have an Enhanced Disclosure and Public Liability Insurance; and belong to a membership association for private tutors. It pays to be member of Tutors' Alliance.
Can I get this elsewhere?
Tutors’ Alliance is the only organisation in the UK offering the above services.
