Tute for
non-mainstreams

Enrolling students is very straightforward and we can normally get a student set up within 48 hours for shared provision and within 10 days for private provision. It can take a little longer at exceptionally busy times.  

If you are new to Tute Education then simply get in touch with our onboarding team. They will talk you through the options and send you all the information you need to register and get started. You can get in touch with them here.  

If you are an existing Tute Education partner you can access the Partner Hub which has all the information you need.  

We work in partnership with non-mainstreams. Our consultative, collaborative approach and dedicated team supports and empowers all our partners to enable meaningful student outcomes. 

If you are new to Tute, the best way to find the right solution for is to speak with our onboarding team. They will discuss the needs and challenges faced by individual students or groups of students and then we can recommend the Curriculum that is right for your students, and your budget.

If you are an existing Tute partner then your account manager will be happy to give you support and guidance. You can find your account manager here: (We might want to list out the areas for our AM in the team section? 

The length of time it takes to process a booking will depend on the type of provision you are booking.   

Shared provision: Students can be enrolled into Shared lessons within 24-48 hours of us receiving your completed booking form.   

Private provision: we aim to set private provision within 10 days, but bookings can be processed quicker or slower depending on the size of the booking that you make and the time slots you wish to have.   

Students need a device to access their Tute lessons. Our students access their lessons via laptops, tablets and sometimes on their phones too. Ideally students will also have headphones to ensure they aren’t interrupted or distracted during their lessons.  

Details on how to log in will be emailed. Students will keep their login details throughout their time with us at Tute.  

Students learn in small groups at school, and often love interacting with peers. Research from a small-scale trial at Durham University found a positive effect for Tute lessons compared to students not taking Tute lessons. 

Research undertaken by Doctoral candidates at the University of Chester showed that 90% of students would recommend Tute to others, and that 88% feel that they learn new things. 

Students can access Tute Education from anywhere. 93% of our students access their online lessons from home but we also have cohorts of students who access their lessons whilst they are at school.  

No. Our teachers use webcams and are visible to our students, but we ask that students keep their webcam switched off. Students cannot be seen by our teacher, or by one another. 

Yes, you can book our private provision if you wish to arrange 1:1 lessons for a student.  

All Tute students should be supervised by an appropriate adult at the location they are joining our lessons from. Whilst we uphold rigorous safeguarding standards in our online environment, we cannot be responsible for the physical safety of students and responsibility for this lies with the commissioner.  

Safeguarding of students is of paramount importance and everyone at Tute is DBS checked and signed up to the updates service. Additionally, all of our lessons are recorded to provide an additional level of protection. Student’s do not turn on their cameras, but the teachers will always have their camera on so that students can see and engage with their teacher.  The platform includes profanity filters and personal details (like email/phone numbers) cannot be exchanged between students.  

96% of pupils feel safe in Tute lessons according to feedback. 

You can read more about our Safeguarding policy here.  

Shared provision is when your students attend lessons with students from other education settings. There is a maximum of 12 students within shared provision.  

Private provision can be commissioned and can either provide 1:1 lessons or a private classroom for a group of students from one education setting.   

Teachers will update the progress tracker for their groups within 24 hours of the lesson having taken place.  You can log into your account to review attendance, engagement and progress.  

Your account manager will set up regular review meetings with you too but if you have any queries you can contact them at any point.   

You will be notified if a student has not arrived for their lesson, or is late for their lesson.  

Our teachers continually assess how students are getting on. If they feel a student would benefit from moving to a different group or level they will pass this information onto you for discussion.
