Tutor Testimonials

I am employed officially as an English teacher for the learner. However, I have come to see our work together not so much as teaching her English, but rather using English, a subject she enjoys and is good at, as a channel to access what I believe is my real purpose and focus with her: building her confidence, improving her sense of self-worth, and providing a regular form of contact with an educational professional who can gently challenge some of the deeply held negative opinions she holds about herself. I am extremely grateful for the support I have from Equal Education and that the providers place enough trust in my judgement to allow me to practise this reactive form of teaching.” 


“I​​ trained to be a teacher to make a difference to the lives of children and young people. The mainstream did not fulfil that ambition! I was forced to teach to the test and bogged down in endless admin and data collection. Working for EE allows me to use my teaching skills in a way that really engages my students and I can literally see their growth and progress. This is why I became a teacher!” 


“I have worked with Equal Education for 12 months, I have found the staff to be very supportive and encouraging. The company as a whole is very focused on improving the education of children, which is extremely important to me as a tutor. I could easily say that EE are the best agency I have ever worked for.”


“I have worked with Equal Education for over a year and they are by far my preferred tutoring organisation to work with. The communication and support is excellent and EE care deeply about their mission and students they support. As a tutor I have felt well supported and my concerns have been dealt with professionally. The staff are great and the communication is warm, helpful and professional. I have really enjoyed my work with EE.”


“Working with Equal Education as a tutor has been one of the most important decisions I have taken. The team has been wonderful and responsible. I am able to work conveniently around my family commitments and most importantly I get to work with the most amazing set of children. This is the highlight of my work. Also I need to say Equal Education has the best tutors you can find. I have been on the receiving end of 2 of these tutors for my son. At a time when his self esteem was on an all time low, his tutors went over and above tutoring to help build his self esteem and confidence. He became a completely new child. Thank you so much.”


It has been a real pleasure to work with Equal. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, to a man and woman their conduct has always been exceptional and I have felt supported and valued. I have met some fantastic young people and their families, all of whom I am sure I will remember down the road. Working for Equal has given me real satisfaction and flexibility in my own life, but now I must move onto the next chapter.”


“I want to say that both Sophie and Georgia are awesome. I cant put into words how professional and helpful they have been. They always go above and beyond, friendly, polite, excellent email etiquette and communication skills in general. I have been teaching for 13/14 years and would just like to point out these 2 are way above anyone I have had to deal with before. They put the students at the heart of everything they do and I cant thank them enough.


“I thoroughly enjoy seeing our students develop into confident and happy learners despite the significant obstacles to learning they face. I enjoy the opportunity to help raise their aspirations, encourage independent learning skills and watch them develop into successful learners progressing from one level to the next (one student with very little prior education progressing from Level 1 ICT to Level 3 with a 7 at GCSE and aspirations to go to University). This has been possible because Equal Education make it a team effort, they value and support me as a tutor and our advocacy and determination ensure that all students receive the quality of education they deserve.”
