What can you teach?

Add every subject you hold a GCSE, A-Level or degree in — not just the one you most want to tutor — so we can match you with more students. For each, tell us which qualifications you hold in it. If your subject is not listed — including a university one — choose “Something else”.

Which of these do you hold in it?

Do you teach or train in a school?

Before you can teach: a DBS check

Everyone who teaches our students holds an Enhanced DBS check with the Children's Barred List. You arrange your own — you do not need one to apply, and we will never close your application while yours is in progress.

Already have one on the DBS Update Service? Give us the certificate number and we can check it in seconds. Nothing to pay and nothing to wait for.
If not, you can apply through uCheck for £73, which includes the £49.50 government fee. Most come back in about a week, though it takes longer if you have lived at several addresses.
Then register it on the Update Service within 30 days of the issue date on the certificate — £16 a year. This one is easy to miss and there is no way back: after 30 days the only option is a fresh check at full price. It also means you never need to pay for another one to keep working with us.

Before you can apply: choose at least one subject and answer the academic background question and complete the security check.

We use what you enter here to check which subjects you can teach — that first check is automated, and the standard it applies is shown above. Everything after it is read by a person. How we handle your information.
