    We're always keen to hear from tutors who love their subject and care about building students' confidence. WeAre Education Ltd is a tutoring agency: we introduce self-employed tutors to families for ongoing online lessons with children and young people. We follow safer recruitment, so every tutor needs an enhanced DBS check including the children's barred list, two references, and identity and right-to-work checks before working with students.
