Why a Qualified Teacher Makes the Best Tutor
While many platforms list undergraduates and part-time tutors, working with a QTS-qualified teacher gives you:
-
Proven classroom experience
-
Up-to-date curriculum knowledge
-
Professional safeguarding training
-
Clear communication with schools (if needed)
-
A deeper understanding of behaviour, SEN, and differentiation
That’s why our directory will only feature tutors with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or the equivalent.

Should I Choose Online or Local?
Online tutoring offers flexibility, especially for secondary or older learners.
Face-to-face tutoring is ideal for younger children, SEN learners, or families who value in-person interaction.
The Yum Yum Mama directory will allow you to filter by tutors near your postcode or those available online — so you can choose what works best.
