the team
Meet the team
At the heart of Emerson Tuition is a carefully selected network of tutors, including qualified teachers, exceptional graduates and industry professionals, led by three experienced educators. Every tutor has their own profile, so you can see who you might be matched with.
matching
Every family is hand matched to a tutor who suits their child and has space for them, so these profiles are here to show you the kind of people who teach for us, rather than a list to choose from.
Every tutor is chosen for their subject expertise, teaching ability and commitment to understanding individual learners. Each one is hand matched to the student, and their profile is shared with the family first. Behind our tutors is a management team bringing together many years of educational experience, so every family gets the same standard of teaching and support.
Every tutor holds an enhanced DBS check, shown on their profile, and Emerson Tuition is a member of The Tutors’ Association.
