We call on the services of a number of expert tutors. All go through a rigorous quality assessment process before they are allowed to train on behalf of our organisation. In addition, all of the tutors we use, are qualified to a standard at least equivalent to the qualifications or subjects they are teaching. Very often, their qualifications and experience stretch well beyond that level.
