About us
Meet the Tute Team
A diverse, passionate, and dedicated group of education professionals united by a common goal: to put students at the heart of everything we do. Our team, from senior leaders to teachers, HR, operations, and partnerships, works seamlessly together to deliver high-quality education and support the unique needs of our students and partners.
At Tute, everything centres around teaching and learning. Our dedicated team, many of whom have transitioned from mainstream or alternative settings, bring their expertise and passion to online teaching. They strive to ensure every student makes progress and succeeds, driven by a commitment to truly make a difference.
We see ourselves as partners, not just providers. Our collaborative approach with local authorities, schools, and non-mainstream settings focuses on empowering students to achieve their potential. We understand the challenges our partners face and go above and beyond to support them with tailored solutions, always prioritising student outcomes.
Our team’s passion extends beyond teaching. Seamless operations and a robust support structure, including HR and partnerships, ensure efficiency and effectiveness in everything we do. By keeping all functions in-house, we maintain a unified focus solely on Tute’s mission, fostering close collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence. This collaborative spirit and dedication to excellence are what set us apart, fostering a culture of openness, honesty, and transparency.
At Tute, we are proud of our team and the positive, lasting impact we make in the lives of our students. Together, we are building a world where engaging, flexible alternative education is accessible and accepted by all.
