Happy World Tutor's Day! On this special occasion, we are thrilled to present our second live conversation on LinkedIn, featuring the exceptional Arthur Ponsonby from Right Tuition. Over the past few months, Arthur and I have enjoyed insightful discussions, consistently finding ourselves aligned in our views and passions for education. Today, I am eager to delve into our conversation and explore Arthur's journey and philosophy in the tutoring world.
Arthur began his career as a primary school teacher, a role that provided him with invaluable training. However, he soon realised that the traditional school setting did not align with his character and aspirations. Arthur shared, "The setting of a school is very particular, and that doesn't necessarily gel with people with lots of character flaws, such as myself. Don't respond well to authority, don't respond to a rules-based system."
Arthur's tuition centres are more than just places of learning; they are buzzing hubs of activity where pupils, parents, and teachers interact closely. The centres operate after school during the week and on weekends, creating a lively and engaging environment. Arthur emphasises the importance of social interaction and fun in learning. He believes in a balance between structured education and the freedom for teachers to teach creatively.

July 2nd marked World Tutors Day, a special occasion to celebrate the dedicated professionals who shape minds and inspire learning. This year, we had the pleasure of starting our day with Anne Morris, the founder of Yipiyap, a tutoring service that pairs near-peer tutors with students in need.
Anneβs journey to founding Yipiyap is an inspiring tale of passion and perseverance. A former secondary school maths teacher, Anne transitioned into accounting before starting her family. Her return to the workforce was driven by a desire to address the numeracy standards in the UK. She spotted an opportunity to bring tutoring into classrooms, not as private sessions but as integrated support within schools.
Her innovative idea was simple yet powerful: recruit highly academic gap-year students to serve as tutors in schools. This approach, unheard of in 2012, has grown substantially. Starting with just two tutors, Yipiyap now employs around 92 tutors, all committed to improving studentsβ academic performance.
Join us in this discussion as we share insights, success stories, the future, and how near-peer tutors can be particularly effective with students retaking their GCSEs.

This week in QT Conversations we started with this question.
The answers were as varied and relevant as ever.
So tell me: what's on your mind in tutoring today?
As we tell our stories, we find out a lot about each other, create friendships and foster development opportunities. Thank you for joining us in all of our sessions and showing up, supporting one another and sharing new insights.

In this QT Conversations session, we discussed Parents. Historically a topic we have shied away from, but one we are proud to be discussing at this important time.
How we broach those boundaries as tutors, with the closeness between parents, students, educators and teachers, and how to navigate the complexities of our relationships.

How did your students do and what does this mean for you, and what does next year look like, already - how can you set yourself up for success now in preparation? Thatβs what we discussed this week in QT Conversations.The whole group agreed that it felt βvalidating to know that their students got what they needed, if not the grades they wantedβ.This got me thinking. Of course, getting grades is what tutors are employed to do, but it might not be the whole picture. Sometimes a totally left-field result is the one that unlocks doors.My eldest son Michael did exceptionally well in his A Levels this year, but he did not get the grades for his first choice university. That week he made some big decisions. He accepted a deferred place at his second choice uni and joined an international programme in Israel for this academic year. Pausing on the hamster wheel of education to focus on social and emotional learning was the ideal result for Michael, and we are all chuffed.I donβt believe that validation comes from exam outcomes. I believe it comes from life outcomes. Ask any business leader out there who theyβd prefer to employ: the A-Grade student or the Grafter. To most itβs clear that the Grafter is the one with the resilience to really go the distance.For those of us whose students did not get the grades they need, and those of us whose students do not sit exams, as well as for those who absolutely smashed it, I would like to suggest that part of our role in supporting students is changing the narrative around exams.Letβs teach them that validation should come from effort rather than attainment. Letβs model that behaviour ourselves. And letβs be so committed from the outset, that we know we can feel proud and at peace no matter the outcome.

When we're tutoring, usually on our own in our home offices, we can find the sudden feeling of loneliness hit.
This is how Julia Silver felt in 2020, just as the world closed for many of us, she decided to open up the doors for tutors to connect, learn and support one another.
Four festivals, countless events, trainings, membership and 3 years later, here's her story for why what tutors need right now, more than ever, is a community showcasing their commitment to Responsible Tutoring.

The time has come.
After 150 episodes as Host of the Qualified Tutor Podcast, Ludo Millar is stepping away from the podcast and from Qualified Tutor.
Here, the Founder of Qualified Tutor, Julia Silver and Ludo sit back and assess their journey of the past 3 years since they began the business. Many, many highs and a few lows in there too - the community and innovation that QT has developed has brought a great deal of happiness and confidence to a great many tutors and educators.
The podcast has been the backbone of that conversation since March 2020, and will continue to be after this. Stay tuned for more details on the exciting progress of this podcast.
A huge thank you to each and every listener, and to every last guest that's come on and spoken to Ludo. This is only just the beginning ...

"The goal of our education system should be to prepare our children for a future which is uncertain" - this, along with the focus on mental health, is Emma's lasting message and the rallying cry for her book A Creative Primary Curriculum for All.
This book advocates for a new model for education in the classroom and the importance of making connections across & between subjects, rather than teaching subjects independently of one another.
Oh and it's now selling on 4 separate continents ...
In Ludo's penultimate episode as Host of this podcast, he discusses the meaning of 'creativity' and what all educators, not just classroom teachers, can understand about their choices with the curriculum.
As Dawn Woods recently wrote in The School Librarian journal, "At this moment in time, this book is very much needed".
We agree.

Holding all these roles has not been an easy task for Meera Vasudeva. But far from preventing her from flourishing in any of them, the collated learning has allowed Meera to understand, with precise detail, what makes a good educator.
In her first podcast appearance (of many, we assume), Meera provides ample insights into the life and work of a teacher, head of department and examiner and what skills and knowledge this has given her in understanding students.
Towards the end, Meera also answers Ludo's tough question: Do schools need tutors? We think this is one section you, dear listeners, cannot miss.

One of the most enlightening conversations we've ever had here on the Qualified Tutor Podcast, from two individuals who know Tourette's as well as anyone else.
Lucy Toghill is Tomβs mum, and has been a SEND teacher for over 15 years. Now, for the past 5 years, she's also been Education Manager at Tourettes Action: the leading support and research charity for people with Touretteβs and their families.
Thomas Toghill, Lucyβs 16-year-old son, was diagnosed with Touretteβs about 10 years ago (first realising the condition in him during the first Lego movie of all places) and has a wonderful tale to tell that will greatly help educators, parents and fellow students understand this condition and be able to support it best.

Over the past year, here in the UK, there have been some fundamental changes in legislation around tutoring and the structure of agencies. Leading the way in support for the industry has been Law Hound, one half of which is the wonderful Steph Barber.
Law Hound was set up by Steph and co-founder Sue Edwards in 2009 and since then, has built a wide-ranging practice that supports small businesses in their growth.
When the legislation changes came through in 2021, Steph and Sue found themselves in the enviable position of having built up considerable expertise in this particular area, and hundreds of tutoring agency leaders leant on them for support and guidance.
Now, more important than ever, we got to speak to Steph about why she does what she does and what kind of support tutoring agencies can get from Law Hound.

Welcome to the Level Up Teaching Summit 2022 Co-Organisers, Crystal Weber and Tim Gascoigne. One returning and one debut guest combine to discuss ESL teaching and why it matters for all tutors.
Tim and Crystal have known each other for a long time, both with long and storied careers in the online and 'bricks-and-mortar' teaching set-ups. Their work has allowed them both to experience a huge range of teaching environments and create their own businesses that thrive, and help others do the same.
They came together this year to create a special online event to celebrate the lives and work of online tutors, to create positive momentum heading into 2023 and to provide high-quality, year-end CPD for educators.
The result is the Level Up Teaching Summit, held all day (on US Eastern time) on Friday 2nd December.
See you there!

The story of how one educator and founder developed and built a tutoring platform that has the tutor-student right at its core. This is The Tutor Index and Jason Preece.
With over 12 years in tutoring and as a music teacher, with a DPhil in Music Composition from the University of Oxford (alongside his role as Teaching Assistant there), Jason is currently Assistant Director of Music at Abingdon School in Oxford.
Alongside his business partner, Chris Nicholson, Jason founded The Tutor Index last spring, focusing on creating a perfect match between tutors and student.
For some (many, even) of you looking to set up your own tutoring business or platform, this is a wonderful conversation of how to go from one-man band to small tutoring business.

Omar El Dokani has big plans for tutoring. And at the age of just 20, he has plenty of time to put them into action. Listen in to one of the most exciting young minds in tutoring today.
Omar left school in 2020 and after turning down a place at university, raised funds for his digital networking platform, Interjoin.
The initial stages saw huge growth and, having always planned to extend the Interjoin umbrella into more markets, him and his team launched Interjoin Teach: the one-on-one tutoring platform that matches a huge pool of tutors worldwide with students from the Middle East and Asia, and then into the UK and Europe.
Here, Ludo and Omar discuss what these plans mean for international tutoring in 2022 and what Omar has learnt about finding his way in business at such a young age.

Often, and for too long, the link between cutting-edge research into education and actual education in practice has been too distant, too fractured. Sarah Cottingham is here to change that.
Sarah is a former Teach First teacher-turned-teacher educator, now working at the highly accomplished Ambition Institute where she designs NPQs (National Professional Qualifications).
Her insights into memory and the notion of 'learning first, not teaching first', built not only her classroom teaching experience but also her work training new teachers, have been hugely influential on our thinking here at Qualified Tutor - and now we bring that to you (building on our episode with Bradley Busch, a friend and colleague of Sarah's).
Next steps:
- Get more of these insights regularly on Twitter @overpractised and on Sarah's blog at overpractised.wordpress.com
- Listen to her Tips for Teachers episode with Craig Barton at tipsforteachers.co.uk/sarah-cottingham
- Grab a copy of the books Sarah referenced: Why Don't Students Like School? by Daniel Willingham and the In Action Series led by Tom Sherrington

Incentivising students is something all parents and educators have grappled with. Katie Tyndale has created a solution. Great Little Rewards works with schools to motivate children to model good behaviours, and now it's time tutors take part too.

They are the sole suppliers of Explore Learning, a hugely successful organisation who have tuition centres up and down the country (just over 100 centres) and with GLR supplying all of them, thatβs over 75,000 children theyβre serving.
Alongside this, Katie has set up Copper Beach Trading: a logistics and delivery management company that provides all kinds of products for small businesses (hampers, wellness boxes, goodie bags, snack packs and more).
A master in people-first support, for students and for small businesses.

Explaining tricky concepts in simple terms is no easy task, particularly for an educator. Bradley Busch has made it his mission to do just that ... for educators.
Bradley and his business partner, Edward Watson, set up InnerDrive to give practitioners the best chance possible to understand concepts such as metacognition, self-regulation, the use of questions in learning, retrieval practice, interleaving and more.
Here, Bradley walks us through the research behind these areas, sprinkled with more than a dusting of pedagogical backing and first-hand experience from 20+ years in the world of psychology and learning.
Coupled with this month's theme in the Love Tutoring Community, of Metacognition and Self-Regulation, this conversation is a brilliant combination of broader understanding and in-depth analysis, delivered by a master communicator.

Matt Green is The Rapping Science Teacher. An experienced teacher turned viral sensation (for children and parents), Matt has come to understand the way students learn.
With a background in Neuroscience, Matt taught in schools for over 10 years, becoming Head of Chemistry in multiple schools. Following this, he left the classroom and set up JGM Science Tutors: his (first) vehicle for helping students with their understanding and confidence.
His second vehicle was spawned not long after that: The Rapping Science Teacher. Regular short-form (TikTok) and longer form (Youtube) videos explaining simple and more complex concepts in Science, designed to stick in the minds of listeners and watchers thanks to the catchy tunes and lyrics that Matt labours over to create (essentially a full-time artist, tutor, CEO, husband and father).
Whether you're 'into' TikTok or not, Matt's videos are amazing content and the ethos behind he does what he does proves to be just as amazing.
Welcome to The Rapping Science Teacher.
Next steps:
- Of course, the next step is to check out his TikToks at tiktok.com/@mattgreen.jgm (preferably on mobile)

What would it take for you to get into education podcasts? Well, you're here. So that's the first step. The next step is to catch Ludo and TandTeaching co-host Arthur Moore help spread the good word of edu podcasting.
Here, Ludo and fellow podcast host, Arthur, sit around and chat memories and tales of teachers gone by, the rise of cognitive science in education and, of course, podcasting. In a wide ranging conversation, they settle on (at least) one key takeaway: those who are devoted to education have a job to do = help increase the visibility of and support for edu podcasts.
There are so many top education podcasts out there, highlighting the incredible work of educators around the world and showcasing the breadth of work across the sector we call 'education': from tutoring to foreign language learning, from teaching & learning tips to test prep advice.
Go and find your favourites and share them with those around you. Hell, you might even enjoy it so much that you start your own one day.
Next steps:

"Unless you are ready to unlearn and learn again, you will never be able to go further" - it is this mantra that has allowed Misbah Iqbal to develop into the leader and educator that she is today. Now you get to try it too.
Misbah is the COO of London-based tutoring agency Eximus Education (led by the inimitable Haris Jawaid), who work in the UK, US, Canada and, predominantly, the Middle East connecting high-quality (and well trained) tutors with clients from all over. Misbah has led an approach which values client connection over bottom-line profit, creating affordable education solutions over turning families away at the door.
All of this is underpinned by a deeply humanistic and empathetic approach to learning, for both tutor and student. Misbah leads on the training for Eximus tutors and, within the programme, self-reflection is front and centre, imbuing the team with a rich vein of understanding in agency and autonomy.
It's a wonderful message and one that all involved in tutoring should be privy to.

Isabel De La Cruz does something very few other tutors do: financial literacy for that age-group we call teenagers. It is at this age where the crucial intersection between (lack of) knowledge and responsibility for decisions is at its most strained.
On the one hand, teenagers have been given little to no more information than children about finance and banking. And yet, by this age, many have phones, some will have bank accounts and all of them should be aware of how jobs, taxes and so on work.
Isabel's background is in Maths, Science and computer programming, and she began tutoring way back in 2008. Since then, her practice has grown hugely, now encompassing her own tutoring business and a Youtube channel dedicated to teaching financial concepts in a simple, informative style.
If you want to learn how you can apply this knowledge to your children and students, this is the conversation for you. Framed by the understanding that financial literacy for kids is one of the growing forces in education, Isabel neatly ties in stories and tales from years gone by (agonising and amusing in equal measure) that taught her all she now knows about this area.

Liberty King is one to watch. Formerly involved in the design of the first year of the National Tutoring Programme, Liberty now promotes and supports social mobility causes in the UK through early careers programmes and strategy consulting.
Liberty's insights into designing the framework for an effective, evidenced-based approach to a tutoring programme across the UK demonstrate both the benefits and difficulties of the process. We are lucky here in this conversation to have been able to explore what the approach means for pedagogy and social mobility in this country, and beyond.
With tales from teachers gone by and lessons learnt from her days at the front of the classroom, Liberty paints a different vision for how we can frame social mobility, including where the real emphasis should lie.
A discussion founded in policy and design, but sculpted for the students and educators that that policy was built for.

We hear many stories of individuals moving from teaching to tutoring. Matthew Curnier did so around 5 years ago and his story brings with it a great deal of experience, wisdom and amusement ...
Capital Tuition Group was founded off the back of a career in the classroom. Imbued with the rigour and training of a professional teacher, Matthew has built a tuition business that lives by those same values and commitments. Of course it does - its tutors are all qualified teachers, past and present.
An actor as well, this conversation combines a discussion of what it really is that makes a tutor, and a good tutor at that, with a humorous exploration of Matthew's background and current perspective on the state-of-play in tutoring right now, one that's taken in a great deal of National Tutoring Programme work as well as leading the line in projects that support students post formal education and into the professional world.

Henry Faber and Walter Kerr came together to build Oppidan Education 6 years ago. Their journey has led them to become one of the most exciting and ambitious education business in the UK, and has helped develop the lives and careers of hundreds of mentors and hundreds more students.
QT Podcast Host, Ludo, has been an Oppidan mentor since 2020 and it is this partnership and collegiality that allows the conversation here to shine. Henry and Walter have built an ethos that consists of high-quality, student-first education that 'mentors the individual', rather than 'tutors the child'.
With their new charitable arm and their long history of working with schools, Oppidan Education as a brand continues to deliver and is trusted by so many families across the country.
Here, the two discuss the foundations of their business, the stresses and strains of paddling beneath the surface to create a happy, productive culture and the belief they hold that this is only just the beginning.

David Bell is an inspiration to us all. As a former teacher and headteacher for over 18 years, fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching and now founder of a new tutoring business, David has seen it all in education.
MyTutorElite (part of the wider David Bell Educational group), a primary tuition and exam prep business, is the product of this experience and expertise.
In a conversation packed full of honest insight and experience, David takes us from his early days as a student who struggled in the arts and sports, to his unwavering focus on mental health in education, to his transition to entrepreneurial tutoring company owner (and all that comes with it).
In between, he finds time to give 3 key pieces of advice for those who have left, or are thinking of leaving, the classroom - catch that from [19:23] onwards.

Ok so you're involved in education. You might well be an educator yourself. Do you ever reflect that the system you work in could be reimagined for the better? Ian Siegel has made it his mission - here's how.
As CEO of a highly successful tutoring company, Streamline Learning, Ian sees personal tuition first hand. With over 15,000 hours of tutoring under his belt, Ian has come to understand the stresses, strains and pressures that mainstream education has put on students.
His newly released book, The Tutor Bible, Learning to Learn Again, sharpens our minds to the fundamental issue in the classroom system of today: the lack of focus on the student.
A deeply thoughtful conversation steeped in empathy (for students) and passion (for a better future), there is a particular line that strikes a real chord: 'Like plants growing towards the sun, people grow towards affirmation'.
Have a great week π

It's not often that you come across someone with the passion and spirit of Linda Ugelow. A lifelong dancer and performer, Linda removes the anxiety and fear of speaking with confidence.
What you'll find here is an eloquent and self-effacing exploration of the intersection between public speaking and effective pedagogy.
The applicability of Linda's teachings for public speakers to effective teaching is hugely significant and couldn't be more timely: believing in your learner, allowing them to be their unique self and creating that trustful environment that allows them to make mistakes.
In so many parts of our lives, weβre asked to speak, to βperformβ, in front of others, be it colleagues, clients or friends and, for educators, students and parents of students. Linda helps people remove those blocks and doubts that creep up and prevent us from delivering our voice and our vision clearly.
Listen in to see if Linda can help inspire you too ...
Next steps:
- Grab a copy of Linda's transformational book, Delight in the Limelight

In our first episode dedicated to vocabulary, we explore the intricacies of this field and central importance to education through the lens of the published works of a children's author.
Sheena Ager journey to authorship came about differently to most. Sheena wrote her first book, Tangled Time, part of the Cadwaladr Quests serial, with and for her reluctant reader son when he was studying for his 11+ exams. After seeing him struggle with reading and understanding the tricky vocabulary that the exams required, Sheena decided to pen a book that allowed children to greatly increase their range of vocabulary, alongside a fascinating plotline reminiscent of some of the great works of the mythical, medieval genre.
With context-specific definitions on each page and passages packed full of creative, powerful vocabulary, as well as related workbooks to go alongside, the books were, and are, a smash hit. Follow the link below to grab a copy for you and your students/your own children.

The rise of emotional intelligence (EQ) as a determiner for a child's success and understanding in the world is well under way. For Tania Khojasteh, combining this with an awareness of fearlessness is the masterstroke.

Autonomy, responsibility, self-direction. These are basic tenets of Henry Dingle's educational philosophy. In this slightly longer episode, find out why it's important for you too.
There is so much depth to this conversation - we advise listening to this in stages if you don't have the full 45 minutes. There are key 'chapters' within this episode, such as:
[12:17] Henry's philosophy behind bringing the best out of students
[14:55] Henry's focus on why parents should be involved in the learning
[20:49] Henry's view on mainstream education being more for parents than for students
[24:44] Henry's realisation that confidence-building and relationship might be more important than academic success
[29:29] Henry's cornerstones of effective tutoring and mentoring
From an exploration of the (faulty) education system as it currently is to a look at how he approaches the parent-tutor relationship, Henry takes us this way and that with his measured, eloquent style. It's quite mesmeric and reflective of many years of educational thinking and theory.

If you find an educator with the energy for inspiring children's passion for learning, get in touch. Reuven Tzalmona delivers hands-on STEM workshops for kids (and parents, too): they're electric.
Hailing from Toronto, Reuven was able to transform his live in-person, How Cool Is That? classes into online sessions when the lockdown first struck. But heβs always asserted that there is no replacing the in-person touch and feel of interactive learning. And since last year, heβs been running these sessions in person again, helping students (and parents) see the power of hands-on and inquiry-based learning, with experiments and projects such as Battle Tops, Marble Maze, Zipliner and Airplane Launcher.
Inquiry-based learning is the future of education - hear how you can be a part of it in this conversation ...

Fiona Mills is a pretty unique tutor. Unique because she's also a practising, qualified lawyer. This allows Fiona to deliver her passion project: legal and life skills for children.
Fiona has been a tutor for over 15 years, helping students with their reading and writing skills, alongside her legal studies and career. In 2015, Fiona qualified as a solicitor here in the UK and has since gone onto work at firms based in Singapore and in Australia.
Much to the UKβs benefit(!), Fiona is now back working in-house at British media company, Global, and just recently was made Senior Legal Counsel which is hugely exciting and extremely impressive.
Amongst it all, Fiona has run Mills Tutoring and recently launched Little Lawyers: an exciting new project, both for Fiona and for the tutoring industry as a whole: teaching students (and adults) the importance of legal skills and exposing them to the kind of life skills that people are usually only afforded post-university or post-apprenticeship.
Listen in and find out how you can improve legal and life skills education for students.

It's not hard to see why Action Tutoring have been so successful. Built on improving lives for disadvantaged students, the organisation is led marvellously by CEO Susannah Hardyman.
Susannah founded Action Tutoring back in 2012 in response to the clear shortage of volunteer tutoring on offer in the UK. Awash with high-end tutors working with the wealthy and privileged, the tutoring industry has seen a huge change in the past 10 years ... and Action Tutoring have been at the forefront of it all.
A founding organisation of the National Tutoring Programme, they have gone from strength to strength since spring 2020 and have since moved into 8 new cities around the UK.
On a more amusing note, we asked Susannah to bring any old school reports from her childhood - they're worth a listen ...

Melanie Brethour is an inspiration to us all. As the mother of a child recently diagnosed with dyslexia, she took the bravest step possible: to set up for helping others.
Decoding Dyslexia Quebec was that next step.
The group (a Facebook group for the moment, but on the brink of expansion) helps hundreds of parents (and students) understand what dyslexia means for them and learn more about their or their child's newly-ordained superpower.
In what is Melanie's first podcast appearance, she combines a deep understanding of the literature behind dyslexia (find out more below) with the heartwarming story behind her own story - it's moving and informative in equal measure.
Next steps:
- Head to Decoding Dyslexia Quebec at facebook.com/decodingdyslexiaquebec
- Read about the pioneering methodology behind the Orton-Gillingham Approach
- Watch the life-changing video, Seeing Dyslexia Differently
- Grab a copy of the two seminal books on dyslexia: The Dyslexic Advantage and Overcoming Dyslexia

This Monday (7th March) marks the true launch of the Specialist Hubs, if you didn't know already ... here, we spoke to the Hub Leaders about their aims and objectives.
The Hubs (and their Leaders) are:
- Science | Georgina Green
- Maths | Helen Osmond
- English | Andrea Gadsbey
- Wellbeing | Sarahlynn Hodder
- SEND | Kayleigh Crouch
- Business of Tutoring (which has been running since July 2021) | Sarah Logan & Miguel de Sousa
Each Hub has a fortnightly live meet-up, supplemented by plenty of learning and discussion within the Hub space in between. You can subscribe to just one Hub or several - all information on how to do so can be found on the Specialist Hubs page.
The vulnerability and honesty of these leaders (and of the groups they run) is astonishing. There is really so much to learn from them.

We're into a new stage of our podcast. It's episode #101. And we're joined by change-maker and schools expert, Laura McInerney, to chat teaching, tutoring, magic wands and schools.
Laura, alongside Professor Becky Allen, founded Teacher Tapp in 2017 as a culmination of a lifetime of interest in gathering information and delivering it to those who need it in as accessible a format as possible.
The app collects data from over 7,500 teachers in the UK every day, in an average of just 50 seconds, through a set of 3 short questions about teaching, education and the school environment.
We started with two main questions:
- What do teachers want right now?
- What do teachers need right now?
and if you're involved in education, those are two of the most important questions you need to hear today.
Next steps:
- Check out teachertapp.co.uk and tell one teacher you know about the app
- Read Laura's 2014 article in The Guardian about her battle against the Department for Education around school secrecy
- Pick up a copy of Laura's 2019 book The Leadership Factor: The 7 Characteristics of Exceptional Leaders

It's time. We've come to the ONE HUNDREDTH (100th) episode of the Qualified Tutor Podcast. To say we're proud is an understatement. Thank you for being here with us.
For a podcast about tutoring, that niche, hush-hush and often 'sidelined' part of education, to reach 100 episodes and almost 8000 downloads shows this industry is more important now than ever.
To celebrate this milestone, we've brought together 3 leaders from the tutoring landscape to conduct an important and hugely insightful analysis of the state of play in tutoring in 2022, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Those leaders are:
- Founder of The Profs, Richard Evans
- CEO of LearnCube, Alex Asher
- Founder of Qualified Tutor, Julia Silver
- alongside Podcast Host, Ludo Millar
By the end of the conversation, you will (hopefully) leave feeling a whole lot more confident about the future of tutoring and how to tackle any problems that may arise. Oh and as ever, a whole load of pioneering ideas to take forward β¦ you can thank us later.

Individually, they are engaging and inspirational. But together, they are a very powerful force for good: Nudge Education CEO Diego Melo and Service Lead at Nudge Minds, Hannah Mitchell.
At the Love Tutoring Festival 24th-28th Jan 2022, Diego & Hannah will be leading the highly valuable lunchtime Insight and Mindfulness Sessions, from 1-1:30pm GMT every day.
These will consist of a series of mindfulness techniques, breath work and meditation for all educators. Partly based off a simple yet effective methodology of 15 deep, diaphragmatic breaths, these sessions will provide a real balance to the high-energy activity of the rest of each day.
And a huge thank you of course to Nudge Education for partnering with Qualified Tutor as Lead Sponsors of the Love Tutoring Festival 2 - the tutoring and interventions landscape just wouldn't be the same without Nudge Education and, for that, we are truly grateful.

Nudge Education and Qualified Tutor have been partners for a while. But this brings something different, something special. The Love Tutoring Festival 2: Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.
This episode has been released on 23rd December, traditionally a time where business conversations turn to family time and a break from the stresses of the job.
But this conversation is ... JUST. TOO. GOOD.
Julia Silver (Founder of Qualified Tutor) and Diego Melo (CEO of Nudge Education, Lead Sponsors of the Festival) discuss all things LTF2: from the themes of each day, to the atmosphere of the event, to the burning passion that they have for learning (and for allowing others to do the same).

"I want to bring about change and increase diversity in the world of tech". This is the dream of speaker, writer and tech innovator, Carolyn Adagala. Who's with Carolyn?
Carolyn has spent time in a number of top-level positions across several industries, including most notably the automotive industry. Along the way, Carolyn has seen a lot of women be restricted by a sense of overwhelm and self-doubt, what we know now as Imposter Syndrome.
But Carolyn's also felt it herself too. And that's what gives Carolyn that first-hand experience that is so important for everyone, including us educators.
Take your first steps to stepping over and beyond this self-doubt with Carolyn's handy tips here ...
And Carolyn has another project up her sleeve for us educators too - check it out from [21:52].
And finally, thank you to LearnCube for sponsoring this episode and for partnering with us at the Love Tutoring Festival 2, from Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.

"Marketing is so nebulous β¦ thatβs why weβve put handlebars on it with the Get Different philosophy" - the words of someone who truly understands the M-word.
Justin Wise is a marketing expert who does things a little differently.

It's rare that a conversation as inspiring and ambitious like this lands in your ears. Take it in because Richard Evans will be leading the industry for a long time.
Richard, alongside his brother Leo, founded The Profs back in 2014 to combat the lack of professional tutors in the industry. Ever since, they have led the way in giving tutors a true career out of their craft.
And that's important.
Tutoring as a profession has had to fight to achieve visibility and validity, and with schemes such as the National Tutoring Programme in the UK, slowly but surely, there is recognition that tutors are professionals just as doctors, lawyers and teachers are.
Allow Richard to take your thinking to the next level.

Crystal Weber is the Founder of Crystal Clear ESL, a platform that guides ESL educators through every step of their journey. It's beautiful, you have to check it out.
ESL stands for English as a Second Language. Itβs a little like EFL (English as a Foreign Language) except that ESL students are typically already within an English-speaking country and wish to therefore learn the βlocalβ language, which is English.
Crystal has been tutoring online for over 15 years and, as the lockdown hit, immediately spotted a gap in the market for the thousands of ESL educators across the world and so set about filling that gap. In fact, Crystal when much further than simply filling it, she has led hundreds of online educators through their first steps into ESL teaching.
And thank you to Nudge Education for sponsoring this episode and for partnering as Lead Sponsors of the Love Tutoring Festival 2, taking place from Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.

It's hard to quantify the value of Kirill Slavin's insights into the future of tutoring. All we can say is you don't want to miss the visions laid out here.
Kirill Slavin is a renowned tech and finance entrepreneur and, most recently, has formed an AI-powered tutoring interface which combines the power and affordability of machine tutors with the humanity and responsiveness of human tutors. It's called Academator and we would advise following their progress. You may find it's the platform to be on when the time comes.
In this high-energy 25 minutes, Ludo and Kirill tackle the question of accessibility and availability in tutoring. It's clear that targeted tutoring is the future of effective learning - and yet, the principal issue remains, and has perhaps even been exaggerated by the pandemic: it is too expensive for most students and parents.
Academator might just be the solution.

But what does 'Read Carefully, Write Clearly, Think Deeply' really mean for you and your tutoring? Allow Lizzie Grace, a master educator, explain it all to you ...
Lizzie is the Founder of Scholar's Atelier, which provides online classes, in-person tutoring and teaching resources to help students become careful readers, clear writers and deep thinkers. Not a bad proposition!
Lizzie joins us on the pod to explore the area of knowledge-rich tutoring that forms the foundation of her philosophy ... and hopefully many more tutors too after this. Lizzie mentioned more than once that 'thinking deeply infuses through everything we do' and this ethos is testament to Lizzie's approach to learning.
Now, Lizzie challenges you to inspire the same in your students.

This week, we chatted to our friend Jack. We had a big conversation, as we always do, about how we must approach education for those that need it most.
Jack Simmonds is a tutor for Nudge Education, a talented musician and chorister and, of course, Qualified Tutor's wonderful course facilitator and Community leader.
Jack has worked with many students over the years and recently, with Nudge, has found himself supporting students who are, as the title suggests, disengaged from school. This means that the traditional school system doesn't have the time and/or space for them.
This is where tutors can step in and make a real difference. The content of this conversation will go a long way to altering your view on what bringing a smile, being empathetic and understanding neurodiversity really means.

It's hard to know what life is like in prison if you haven't experienced it. For a chronically disengaged student, it's much the same. Claire Smith understands both.
Claire is a compassionate and highly experienced tutor for Nudge Education. Previously, Claire worked as Head of Education at not only Wormwood Scrubs Prison in London but also HMP Bronzefield, in Middlesex.
We challenge you to find a more open and, at times, brutally honest conversation than this one. Young offenders and prisoners are hidden from society but, if Claire's experience is anything to go by, these are the individuals who need our community-led approach to learning the most.
What we are most proud of, apart from giving someone as well travelled and well versed as Claire a platform to share her experiences, is the power of the Qualified Tutor training courses. Claire was able to find confidence and support through our tutor training programme and the community we've created, and we're very grateful to Nudge and to our amazing Community members for sharing in this.

What many tutors struggle with is knowing how to take the next step. Don't worry, it's very common. Joanne Kaminski has spent her life learning how to make this happen.
Hailing from Wisconsin, Joanne is a former classroom teacher who needed a change in life. That change was stepping back from teaching and turning her skills to tutoring ... and coaching. Because it's through her experience of setting up 5 businesses in a year and failing at them all that Joanne has learnt what it really takes to succeed.
Today, Joanne runs reading classes for students around the world alongside her highly successful tutor coaching business. If you'd like any assistance with your tutoring service, look no further than Joanne's Jumpstart course. (Well worth a read even if you don't sign up ...)

Since the death of her son, Dan, in 2014, Fiona Spargo-Mabbs has dedicated her life to supporting young people to make safe choices about drugs. Now we turn to tutors.
A tutor has a unique position in a young person's life, different to that of a parent or a teacher. And Fiona has important words of wisdom for tutors and the role they can play in helping students transition from one phase of school to the next.
Tutors so often work with students at crucial moments in their education and it is at precisely these moments that students need the most support; they are at their most vulnerable when under exam pressure and when changing schools. Listen in from [18:50] to hear Fionaβs expert advice for tutors.
Fiona is the Director and Founder of the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, who work to increase the understanding around drugs and alcohol. We urge you to check out their suite of workshops, training programmes, resources and community, whether you or your children have been affected by drugs and alcohol or not.
As per the conversation we ended the episode with, if you'd like to get in touch to discuss how the tutoring sector could work with the drugs and alcohol education sector, then please email ludo@qualifiedtutor.org.

π§ And thank you as ever to Luke Tierney for the sophisticated soundtrack
Many parents and educators have turned to online communities for support and resources since March 2020. There are very few groups who have provided more than Agness O'Brien's.
The 11+, ISEB, SATs, GCSE & A-level Resource Group, newly Affiliate Partners of TTA (pretty special for a Facebook group) and recently partnering with Qualified Tutor, provides a wealth of resources, live events, emotional support, helpful guidance and learning materials to over 13,000 members. Since last spring, the group has more than doubled and continues to grow every day.
The equation is simple: if you'd like to get access to resources and support from thousands of educators, parents and specialists stretching back over 5 years, then this is the place to be. And it's all down to Agness and her wonderful team of admins and moderators.
By signing up, you'll also immediately find a short introductory video that gives info on all the moving parts of the group, including crucially how to navigate the thousands of resources and posts. Once podcast systems have reached a point where videos can be posted in show notes, that video will be up quicker than you can say ...
Qualified Tutor is a tutor-training organisation, with a suite of high-quality, industry-first programmes. The Level 3 Qualification for Tutors (qualifiedtutor.org/training/level-3-qualification-for-tutors/) consists of 8 weeks of online learning, interactive live sessions with peers and expert facilitation at every step of the way, and will set you apart in a crowded space.
Our CPD-Accredited Tutor Training (qualifiedtutor.org/training/online-tutor-training-seminar/) is a 4-week foundational course in teaching and learning, and comes with a Certificate of Completion and a teaching qualification that many tutors will never have had the chance to obtain. Be the first to take the next step in tutoring.

We brought together agency leaders and heads of tuition from 3 highly successful, but markedly different, tutoring organisations: Helen Kenworthy, Georgina Green and Harry Cobb.
Helen Kenworthy: Founder of The Complete Works, a teaching service that creatively provides learning programmes for students of all ages
Georgina Green: Founder of Green Tutors, STEM specialists based in Hertfordshire and training partners of Qualified Tutor
Harry Cobb: Head of Tuition at Bonas MacFarlane, prestigious agency that mentors students and provides educational advice to parents across the globe
From how we deal with new clients and new tutors to the process of matching the right tutors to the right students to the motivations behind why tutors join a particular agency, this conversation had it all (in the field of running an agency).
And it beautifully tied together the many conversations that we had on the Tuesday of the Love Tutoring Festival, including the importance of values in a tutoring business and the importance of knowing your client before going into business with them.
(And if you think your access to the Festival is OVER, then think again! You can still catch every recording to the free sessions by clicking here.

Welcome to the first of our Late Night Live Podcasts from the Love Tutoring Festival. Our Monday podcast welcomed on Nina Jackson, Amanda Cremona and Clio Tucker.
Nina Jackson is 'the Ninja'.
Amanda Cremona is the tutor that every student with dyslexia needs to work with.
Clio Tucker is the student who 'failed her A-levels', and was oh so enriched by it.
The topics discussed were varied and the conversation was aided admirably by participation from our live audience. We began with a true discussion on the advancements of accessibility in tech, followed by the impact of neurodiversity on learning, before drawing the conversation to a close with a look at the widely superfluous nature of homework and the effect it has on many students' learning.
(And if you think your access to the Festival is OVER, then think again! You can still catch every recording to the free sessions by clicking here.

Ilana King is one of the few 7+ entrance specialists. With a new training course and book, Ilana has given tutors and parents the opportunity to learn and grow.
Ilana is the Founder of Education Pathfinder, an educational consultancy business that has helped hundreds of parents plot the right path for their child.

This book, The Parentsβ Handbook for the 7+ Entrance Exams, can be found at amazon.co.uk/dp/B093N2CQ37.
While the 7+ entrance route has traditionally been the remit of the more affluent families in London, Ilana is committed to making it more accessible to more parents.
Here at Qualified Tutor, we're particularly interested in Ilana's commitment to training tutors too. If you'd like to become an effective 7+ tutor, there's only one place to look: Ilana's special training course, which can be found at educationpathfinder.co.uk/six-months-to-becoming-a-7-specialist.

Sharon Cawley is a pioneer of the partnership between tutors, teachers and schools. She has a huge following of teachers, tutors and small business owners ... and rightly so.
Sharon started her career as an English teacher in 1994. Today, Sharon runs the hugely successful Conexus Tuition which currently works with over 4000 children in schools.
Sharon does not shy away from discussing her own journey from teaching to tutoring which, in 2012, consisted of being left without work, on the dole. Just 8 years later, Sharon heads up an NTP Tuition Partner organisation.
More importantly though, she'd like to meet Greg Davies, and potentially marry him too. If you know how to make this happen, please get in touch.
Finally, you can hear Sharon as part of the NTP Partners&Schools Roundtable at the Love Tutoring Festival on Thursday 1st July at 11am, alongside Manning's Tutors, Action Tutoring and EM Tuition. Grab your tickets at qualifiedtutor.org/community/love-tutoring-festival/.

Colette Stevenson is passionate about supporting others to learn for themselves. As a graphic designer and educator with ADHD, Colette is well aware of the need for giving learners space.
We've long encouraged the use of visuals and graphics in tutoring, as a way to diversify our sessions and give students a different angle of approaching their learning. In this conversation, Colette explains why tutors should use graphics and their importance in enhancing learning.
For further information on Colette's new Instagram project, go and check out @postagrid. A new way of maximising the reach of Instagram through the creation of mazes, storytelling and engaging students, Colette (who can also be found by visiting @colette.branddesigner) has jumped aboard a unique project - don't miss out!

Perry Clemons has got a new and refreshing way for you to learn Maths. Perry has created a set of Mathic Games which will revolutionise your relationship with Maths.
Ideal for tutors, these two games, the Mathic Number game and the Mathic Fraction game, allow students to visualise Maths in a game environment. The rules are simple and can be found by visiting either Mathic Number (https://www.mathicnumbercardgame.com/mathic-number) or Mathic Fraction (https://www.mathicnumbercardgame.com/mathic-fraction).
In this conversation, we discuss the possibilities for these games and Perry's tutoring philosophy. As a former teacher who's now studying for an M.S. in Childhood Education, Perry has spent every working day since the age of 20 building a framework for how children learn Maths ... and now he's created a bridge for the most common gaps in understanding.
Watch out for Perry's Maths-based riddle at [03:49] - he reveals the answer at [31:37} but there's NO CHEATING ALLOWED ...

Jessica Rutherford and Clare Devanney-Glynn are the pioneering hosts of the Spotlight on FASD Podcast and we welcome them on to discuss this condition in the sphere of education.
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is the term for a group of conditions caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol and, perhaps surprisingly, it is the most common, non-genetic cause of learning disability in the UK (British Medical Association, 2007). Studies have shown that as much as 1 student in every class may suffer from FASD.
It is incredibly important that educators and medical professionals treat FASD seriously.
Here, we explore what tutors can do in a tutoring session to aid students with this condition. (Hint: it is NOT what happens in a classroom setting)
The best resource for tutors who are new to FASD, as recommended by Jessica, has been produced by the NHS for Ayrshire And Arran, Understanding FASD: What Educators need to know. Start here and continue to listen in to the Spotlight on FASD Podcast.

Matthew Baetzhold is a Maths, Science and Writing tutor with a thorough knowledge of how classrooms and learning in schools work.
The conversation here puts forward suggestions for how a future in schools of collaboration between tutors and teachers would work. With an emphasis on reducing the burden, both in terms of planning and managing certain students, 'tutors' would take one-on-one sessions during school hours, while 'teachers' would deal with group sessions.
It may sound like sweeping changes, but it's already being implemented in both the UK and the US.
While you're mulling over what Matthew and Ludo are proposing, don't forget to grab your tickets to Matthew's upcoming TAGGS summit event, Of Math and Magic. You can find tickets for the FREE event, taking place this Saturday 10th April at 7:15pm BST, by clicking here.

"My diagnosis gave me permission to let go of all the shame up to that point"
In one of the more open, personal and honest conversations we've had on the Podcast to date, Clio Tucker O'Sullivan delivers an assessment of how her journey from struggling with concentration and organisation at school, through her eventual diagnosis to the lessons learnt since.
ADHD has long been misunderstood, as a label given to those students who struggle academically. It is far from that.
Some of the most intelligent and successful scientists, researchers, professors and academics ever have lived and worked with the impairment, and have thrived.
Clio's recent blog post for Qualified Tutor (originally published on the platform, Medium) provides a foundation for Clio's experiences and the struggles she's faced to date. You can find it here - we'd suggest reading it first before diving into the pod ...

As we come to the end of Qualified Tutor's first REDJanuary, we celebrate the support and community that helped us through the darkest (but mostly the coldest) days.
In this honest roundtable discussion amongst the QT REDJanuary team (and special guest, Adrian Conway), we look back on what working as a team means, both for running your first 10km and for building a solid student-tutor partnership.
From [10:38], we explore how our Community Themes for January (Mental Health) and February (SEND) have overlapped and the benefits this has brought to our Community of tutors.
SEND specialist, Amanda Cremona, takes us through her tips for working with dyslexic and non-engaging students - and don't miss Julia's frank assessment of what it truly means to pass on tutoring work that doesn't fit within your area of expertise.

Fran Morgan has spent over a decade changing the lives of children who do not 'fit the system'.
Last year, Fran set up Square Peg, a company that works to help nurture the talents and passions of those children that the education system has rejected.
The conversation here is moving and important. Never before has the lack of support and infrastructure for students who don't fall neatly into line been so exposed and it is in this time that children with special educational needs require the greatest care.
Read and watch more from Fran, Ellie Costello and Simon Kay (both Square Peg Directors):

- 'Special needs children 'shut out' of school' (first published 4th October 2020)

"You've taken us, as a profession, to another level"
The scale and detail with which Bramble conducted their recent survey into online tutoring is quite incredible. The report on the survey was published recently (you can find it here) but this is the first time they have been able to discuss and explore it in a collaborative environment - Qualified Tutor is delighted to be part of such an important step in this industry's development.
As lockdown takes over the education sector once more, we must all learn the lessons from this spring and ensure that no student is left behind. The National Tutoring Programme is going a long way to achieving this but we have to maintain that classroom experience and consistency for all students, including in their online learning.
Watch out for the third instalment in the series, which will cover Bramble's defining feature: Smart Search. This is what sets Bramble apart from other online tutoring platforms - searchable lessons which provide safety for all parties and which allow students the perfect tool for revision.

20 million lessons delivered, 15 million hours of video already created and published ... and we're heading into a second lockdown.
The Oak National Academy was created in spring 2020 to seamlessly deliver virtual lessons as if school had never been disrupted. They have achieved this aim and much, much more - teachers have noted a hugely reduced workload and a markedly improved quality in teaching and learning for students and teachers.
If you haven't checked out what the Academy has to offer, then you have missed out on hours of high-quality teaching and live interactive study. Matt's background as a classroom teacher, coupled with his unique ability to bring people together, has allowed the Academy to flourish and the platform has endless possible opportunities for growth, from recorded sessions, to SEND specialism to bearing some of the burden of oversized classrooms and students who don't suit the classroom model.
In this fast-paced and hugely informative episode, we speak to Matthew Hood, the Academy's Principal, about his hopes for the future and how classroom teaching may have already changed forever.

We continue the theme this week of hearing from true experts in the field of education.
Ian Gilbert has been one of the foremost leaders internationally in the field of curriculum change and advocating for a system in which students think and learn for themselves.
Founder of Independent Thinking, a platform that serves the most innovative and creative minds in education, Ian's works cover a range of topics, aimed at students themselves, those involved in the teaching of students and everyone in between.
This roundtable discussion, alongside Qualified Tutor's Founder, Julia Silver, and Lead Facilitator, Adrian Conway, brings out the most important and most topical conversations at this time, with a real focus on challenging the norms in education and how we must alter the way students view their education.

Bramble are a force to be reckoned with.
With over half a million hours of online tutoring completed on Bramble by some of the world's leading tutoring organisations, Bramble possesses the scale and expertise to revolutionise online tutoring forever.
Every single session is recorded and then made available for both student and tutor, and with AI-driven transcription of every piece of content covered and the Smart Search tool, nothing is missed and everything can be reviewed for revision, for safety and for quality assurance and self-assessment.
And if that wasn't enough, Bramble conducted the UK's largest ever online tutoring survey this summer - the insights are fascinating and reveal an unexpected attitude amongst tutors and students.
This new podcast series will bring together Qualified Tutor, providers of high-quality tutor training, and Bramble, the leaders in online tutoring, to pull together two of the most important aspects in tutoring at this time. Tutors and agencies across the board are beginning to realise that training is an essential piece in the puzzle, and no tutor can do their job effectively in this climate without the skills in and knowledge of the online learning environment.

Mary Myatt has changed the way we think about schools and our approach to developing children, both academically and cognitively.
Mary has produced an extraordinary range and wealth of literature on the subject, and it informs and inspires us in every part of the QT course and our vision for how to improve students' ambitions and success.
The QT Podcast itself is changing the way tutors level up their service, hosting interviews and roundtables with many of the sector's leading voices - this is tutor training while pottering around your kitchen or going out for a jog...
- To discover more about Mary's commitment to removing 'redundant principles' in schools, do check out her new book, Back on Track: Fewer things, greater depth.
- To explore Mary's research on how we can refine the school curriculum, check out her book: The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to coherence.
- For further discussion on the 'how' and, importantly, the 'why' of what we do, and how it can inspire change, Mary has a book for that too: Hopeful Schools.

We know that the Qualified Tutor Community provides the 250-strong group with daily support, advice and a space to meet and connect with other tutors, but it's never more rewarding than hearing it from the tutors themselves.

No two episodes are the same.
Moving away from our interview- and roundtable-style episodes, this week, we chat to our inspiring Community members and tutoring friends we've met along the way who discuss with us several key topics currently most prevalent in the field of tutoring.
How do we maintain engagement over the online learning space? Many of us have watched slick how-to videos or read eloquent blog articles on the matter, but there's no substitute for collaborative learning and live discussion. In this Q&A session, we pose our participants some (admittedly) tricky questions and respond in-depth to subsequent queries and questions.
Qualified Tutor has always been a hive of topical discussion, placing itself at the cutting edge of pedagogical research and the rapidly-evolving nature of tutoring in this country, and beyond.

Each cohort we take through this course builds on the last. It is truly inspiring to see the participants share and grow over the course of the 4 weeks, from safeguarding for tutors to discussions around SEND, mental health and wellbeing in the final session.
This fantastic cohort of qualified tutors was our first cohort in which we worked with tutors from independent agencies.

We spoke to them to hear their thoughts on what they'd learnt, the connections they'd formed and the knowledge and tools they'll take on into their future tutoring sessions. We were blessed with a wonderful group of tutors, teachers and education experts and the diverse range of experience and specialisms allowed for a rich and vibrant discussion in each and every workshop.
The feedback we've received has been exceptional and we as the course facilitators and course writers have learnt a great deal about our methods of delivery, discussion and training.
The message time and time again has been that the live interactive nature of the workshops, held on Zoom, has allowed for a collaborative approach to the learning, an aspect rendered impossible on pre-recorded courses. This element, coupled with the rigorous pedagogical background, has come together to create a vibrant and engaging environment for building your professional skills as a tutor.
If you would like to gain greater exposure into what tutoring really means and if you'd like to level up your ability, earning power and expertise as a tutor, enrol now at https://www.qualifiedtutor.org/qt-training and sign up for the Qualified Tutor Course. Over 4 weeks of workshop-style sessions with industry experts, you'll set yourself apart in a crowded space.
We can't wait to see you there.
The Qualified Tutor Podcast exists for those tutors about to take the plunge into the profession, for those that already have but want to strengthen their practice or simply for those in education who love hearing about what others are doing and what tips they can take from it. We are all constantly learning and there is no better place right now to hear about the developments in e-learning and education through tutoring than the QT Podcast.

Welcome to the Qualified Tutor Podcast
Neil Cowmeadow knows a thing or two about tutoring.
Having worked in the consultancy industry, Neil found that teaching people gave him the greatest joy in life. Today, he has a long waiting list of future students and smiles most broadly when he's jamming along with a student.
Neil is a specialist guitar tutor and inspires all students he works with to enjoy their own music. While other music tutors and teachers have struggled with the move to online tuition, Neil has thrived. His recording room is bedecked with guitars, mics, headphones and, most importantly, cameras - with a variety of cameras focusing on his playing, including a moveable camera that shows just his left and right-hand movements, his students get an all-round experience and learn faster than they might in person.
Here, we discuss a range of topics including allowing students the freedom to learn for themselves, turning 'mistakes' into a positive step for every student and understanding how a commitment to finding out what makes a student tick will pay off in the long-run.
Neil is also the producer and host of his own podcast, The Tutor Podcast - it's one of our very favourites and, having run for over two and a half years now, there is something there for tutors of all kinds. Go have a listen

Welcome to the Qualified Tutor Podcast
Eli Baigel understands the obstacles and barriers that lockdown has imposed on education.
As a Teach First teacher in his first year, he has perhaps undergone one of the most complex and arduous introductions to the already-demanding world of education for many years, possibly ever. Working alongside this as a tutor, Eli has witnessed first-hand how students and educators have had to rework all skills and techniques they had taken for granted.
In a conversation ready-made for any tutor or teacher who has had to deal with adversity during this time, the key takeaways are: patience and positivity. Patience to understand your student's needs and concerns. Patience to work with a new environment that presents fresh challenges every day. Positivity to inspire your student to see what good can come from this upturned environment. Positivity to ensure your own personal development is not hindered by the difficulties around you.
Teach First will play a key role in the progress of the National Tutoring Programme, as they will be providing the paid Academic Mentors who will deliver on the Β£350m aspect of the overall project. These mentors employed in schools as academic guidance to provide intensive support to pupils - find out more at https://nationaltutoring.org.uk/ntp-academic-mentors.

Continuing Professional Development is an important and widespread fixture of the education sector.
And yet, it is not a widely available option for tutors.
Martin Rowe, Head of Operations at The CPD Certification Service, understands the significance of bringing this crucial facet of training to the world of tutoring. Over the course of the conversation, we explore why continuous training is such an essential part of a tutor's service and how a lack of commitment to ongoing personal and professional development suggests a lack of care.
In a crowded space, training is a differentiator. This could not be more true than in the domain of tutoring where individual tutors, agencies and education charities compete for the finite pool of students and learners. Those who commit to improving their practice everyday will be those that shine through.
Qualified Tutor provide support, expertise and tutor training in light of the newly-announced National Tutoring Programme and, as the leading voice for such a programme, this is a coming together of experts in a crucial time for tutoring and education in Britain.

As the first murmurings of face-to-face tutoring emerge, after 4 months of exclusively virtual learning, it has become clear that online tutoring is here to stay. The jumps in EdTech that have been made will not simply disappear, rather online learning has established itself as part of the teaching and learning landscape for good.
Tutors continue to cite a lack of adequate preparation and knowledge regarding the virtual environment, much as they have lacked training and skills in the face-to-face environment for many years now.
Qualified Tutor brings Georgina Green, Founder of Green Tutors and several buzzing online teacher and tutor networks, to the QT Podcast to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date explanation of the speed at which online tutoring is moving and how tutors can stay on top of their skills and the wider knowledge they need to provide continuously high-quality support and advice for students. Georgina is an expert in exam preparation and guidance and, perhaps more so than in any other year, this expertise will be of premium value to students, parents and tutors alike.
If you're seeking advice on how to prepare this summer and how online tutoring can be best enhanced to achieve your goal, look no further than this rich and informative 25-minute chat which will give you all you need to know.

John Nichols, President of The Tutors' Association, joined us to discuss how TTA are supporting and serving tutors in this tricky time.
TTA is the largest tutors' membership body in Britain and, as such, plays a crucial role in fostering and building relationships between individual tutors, tuition providers and policy-makers. With the National Tutoring Programme at the forefront of tutoring and education today, Qualified Tutor and TTA come together to provide up-to-date advice and support to tutors looking to get involved in the programme.
John has served as Director of TTA for over a year now, and has increasingly become involved in education charities and is Founder of an online learning company called Get My Grades. He is very well positioned to comment on tutoring and, importantly for our listeners, how tutors themselves can improve, grow and connect with others in the profession.

Welcome to the Qualified Tutor Podcast
We are so pleased to have connected with amazing people like Jessie Pitsillides.
Jessie is the Founder of Mentor Jr, a brilliant new online tutoring service that connects student tutors and mentors with younger students, thereby bridging the gap between tutor and student as well as building positive relationships between peers.
With so many wonderful insights into what mentoring means to Jessie, this jam-packed 25 minutes contains a host of fantastic tips for student tutors to train up at this time. Jessie has joined us for several of our workshops so far and knows very well the power of giving tutors adequate preparation before launching them into sessions.
Tutoring is in a special moment right now and we cannot, in the haste to roll out widespread tutoring to the most disadvantaged students, forget that tutors deserve to receive sufficient professional training before starting to work one-to-one with a student.

Welcome to the Qualified Tutor Podcast
After the success of our first cohort of qualified tutors, we speak to Victoria Gibbs, Manager at Tutors International, about her experiences of the course and her thoughts on the direction of tutoring in today's society.
With many years of working in the tutoring industry, Victoria is acutely aware of, firstly, the need for tutors in the education sector and secondly, the skills that make a successful tutor. Placing tutors in long-term residential jobs is a tricky business and requires a deep understanding of what the client is seeking and the precise skills and experience of the tutor.
Dotted with wonderful anecdotes from Victoria's school career, including the infamous fox puppet Politics teacher, we discuss what makes an effective tutor and how young tutors starting out in the industry can prepare themselves for their line of work.
One of the principal themes is that of Continuous Professional Development, which is so important for a tutor to be constantly seeking out and developing. Victoria's experiences on the QT course has allowed her to improve her wide knowledge of potential CPD routes for tutors and educators ... and QT has certainly grabbed her attention!

Welcome to The Qualified Tutor Podcast.
If you weren't already aware of it, the lockdown period has pushed tutoring to the level of national and international consciousness. Digital skills and a competence in EdTech are essential to any educator, be it tutor, teacher or course deliverer.
Vikki Liogier, National Head of EdTech & Digital Skills at the Education & Training Foundation, has known this for years, perhaps longer than almost anyone in the industry. Vikki bought her first Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator pack in 1993 and hasn't looked back since. She brings with her extensive expertise in how to implement EdTech into the learning environment and how to learn digital skills to master your all-round teaching ability.
We are incredibly lucky, as we so often are, to have spoken to Vikki about her experiences, her ethos and her current work promoting digital learning to as many students and teachers as possible.
The conversation answers the queries and issues of online tutors and teachers out there that it could almost have been a direct Q&A. Ranging from the core skills that all online educators must possess to how organisations like ETF are using EdTech to enhance the current school curriculum, our chat covers a huge number of topics so get listening and do spread to anyone you know involved in EdTech and the digital learning environment!
If you would like to gain greater exposure into what tutoring really means and if you'd like to level up your ability, earning power and expertise as a tutor, enrol now at https://www.qualifiedtutor.org/qt-training and sign up for the Qualified Tutor Course. Over 8 hours of workshop-style sessions with industry experts, you'll set yourself apart in a crowded space.
We can't wait to see you there.
The QT Podcast exists for those tutors about to take the plunge into the profession, for those that already have but want to strengthen their practice or simply for those in education who love hearing about what others are doing and what tips they can take from it. We are all constantly learning and there is no better place right now to hear about the developments in e-learning and education through tutoring than The QT Podcast.

Welcome to The Qualified Tutor Podcast
We're continuing the rich stream of music in education in recent episodes, giving educators from many fields the inspiration of hearing how powerful music can be in liberating students' intellectual creativity and giving them a voice.
We were lucky enough to be joined by two of the incredible team at Play for Progress, a wonderful charity supporting socially-isolated refugee students and minors. Anna MacDonald, Head of Relationships, and Simon Roth, Senior Music Tutor and percussion expert, took us through a profound explanation of what working to improve a child's confidence through music truly means.
Working with the most deprived and traumatised children is not an easy task, Simon and Anna admitted this honestly, and the organisation's success is testament to the commitment, vision and expertise of the whole team.
As with many guests we get the chance to speak to on the show, the hard work pays off through the rewarding experience of seeing students understand a point or work to inspire one another. In another heartwarming conversation, we feel grateful that we are spreading this inspiring message to as wide an audience as possible.
Catch Play for Progress' #liveatfive Facebook stream with the organisation's Allies in Art (artistic and musical contributors and professionals), as well as their Friday evening kids' classes.

Welcome to The Qualified Tutor Podcast
Over the past few episodes, we've heard how important music is in educating students, not only in giving them a voice to be heard but also in creating fun, refreshing ways for the standard academic content to be covered.
Joined by Anna and Harrison from Orchestras For All, Head of Programmes and NOFA Ambassador respectively, we were able to have an absorbing discussion, ranging from how organisations such as OFA and QT can cater for the recent shift in education to how Harrison has been able to continue concert practice from his own bedroom.
Orchestra For All are a charity who provide amazing opportunities for young people to get involved with music and experience the world of live music and performance. Many of those who take part would otherwise never have been able to access music in this way and, as such a powerful force in education, the benefits and rewards that music brings to those working with OFA are enormous.
OFA are always looking to push the boundaries of orchestral music-making and their ambition and drive is a wonderful addition to the list of guests we've had on the show so far, including Matt Mazur of Turtle Dance Music, and our next guests, Play for Progress.

Action Tutoring is a heavyweight of the tutoring world and we are incredibly lucky, as we so often are, to have had the chance to speak to Susannah Hardyman, Founder of the organisation.
Susannah is in an almost unrivalled position to comment on the current situation of the education system, on the importance of tutors to students and parents around the country and on the significant impact that one-to-one tuition can have on a student's success and self-confidence. Susannah tutored for many years towards the end of her school days, into her university and after graduating. After working alongside this in the charitable sector, she set up Action Tutoring as a way to open up the affluent and elite world of private tuition to the thousands of students who needed it most - and today, she has made this a reality.
Volunteering as a tutor is the most rewarding role in the industry, because of the difference you make. It's a clichΓ© but it's a clichΓ© for a reason. For all of our listeners and community base who are tutors themselves, please do consider signing up with Action Tutoring or one of the other many volunteer tutoring charities, and make the difference that your ability has made you able to.
Qualified Tutor is a tutor-training organisation, with a suite of high-quality, industry-first programmes. The Level 3 Qualification for Tutors (qualifiedtutor.org/training/level-3-qualification-for-tutors/) consists of 8 weeks of online learning, interactive live sessions with peers and expert facilitation at every step of the way, and will set you apart in a crowded space.
Our CPD-Accredited Tutor Training (qualifiedtutor.org/training/online-tutor-training-seminar/) is a 4-week course in teaching and learning, and comes with a Certificate of Completion and a teaching qualification that many tutors will never have had the chance to obtain. Be the first to take the next step in tutoring.

Welcome to The Qualified Tutor Podcast
To try and get a better understanding of the situation in schools during this time, this week we're speaking to Mordechai Keet, a 6th form student whose A-level preparations have been severely disrupted by the enforced school closures. Mordechai is a committed and engaging student with big plans for the future and here, he is able to give a brilliant new take on the situation.
At the heart of this disruption is the pupils themselves, whose short- and long-term futures have been threatened by the lack of exams, clarity and confidence. Mordechai admits honestly that he is nervous about the grades his teachers will give him for his final-year exams and what this could mean for university entrance and beyond.
We hope this is the first of many conversations we have with students on The Qualified Tutor Podcast, as their voices are often forgotten in and amongst the higher-level education system planning. We are here to listen to students, to parents and to tutors and the community we're building will be a vibrant soundboard of the ideas of all three groups, and more.

Our next guest, Josh Dean, is a committed, inspiring and academically brilliant tutor who specialises in languages and humanities tutoring online. Josh gives his honest and heartfelt take on what it really means to be a good tutor, on the attributes that truly make an approachable and personable educator. From allowing your students to feel at ease to tips for bookending the session with your most important points, Josh's advice is clear, concise and ready-for-use: you'll leave this chat with practical skills for your next session.
Starting out in tutoring can be overwhelming (trust us, we've walked this path ourselves) but we believe there is no reason this experience cannot be passed down to others, in simple and pragmatic terms. One of the reasons tutors may struggle is because they feel they are taking on the role of a teacher but without ever having undertaken training. Here, Josh provides easy steps to make yourself feel at home in the tutoring environment while maintaining your service and your professionalism. Tips like this don't come around everyday ...
