Become a West Lancs Tutor

Join our network of experienced, qualified teachers and connect with families seeking high-quality tuition across West Lancashire, Southport and surrounding areas.

Offer tuition in person, online or both, with the freedom to decide which opportunities suit your experience, location and availability.

Keep 80% of the Lesson Price

Tutors receive 80% of the lesson price paid by the family. West Lancs Tutors collects and administers payments as part of its agency service and pays tutors monthly.

Choose the Opportunities That Suit You

You decide whether to accept or decline each proposed arrangement, with no minimum commitment or guaranteed hours.

Teach as a Qualified Professional

You retain professional control over how you plan and deliver effective tuition for each child.

Administration and Ongoing Support

We advertise for tuition enquiries, handle family requests, consider suitable matches, introduce tutors and families, administer payments and remain available to support both parties.

There is no joining or registration fee. Tuition opportunities depend on requests from families and are not guaranteed.

We welcome applications from qualified teachers with experience across Primary, KS3, GCSE and A Level.

 

Applicants should:

  • Hold QTS, QTLS or another appropriate recognised teaching qualification

  • Have relevant teaching and subject knowledge

  • Communicate reliably and professionally with families

  • Be appropriately prepared for every agreed lesson

  • Work as a self-employed independent professional

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the West Lancs Tutors agency network or any introductions to families or tuition opportunities.
