We have met with Katie Jayne Tutors’ staff. In addition, 20 clients and 20 tutors have completed an online survey (sent to 42 clients and 21 tutors) and we have followed this up with additional short phone interviews with at least eight of those surveyed.

So, while other tutor agencies might offer you a med student who teaches science on the side to make a bit of extra money, Capital employs actual teachers with classroom experience to… Areas covered: Around half the tutoring happens online – these pupils mainly live in the South East, with others living all over the UK and beyond into Africa, Singapore and Dubai.
