Who Are We Looking For?
Do you want to help students improve their grades? Do you want to work without pressure to accept every enquiry?
We recommend tutors for primary, GCSE and A-Level students. This includes in-person work near Harrogate and online work across the UK.
Our tutors are all qualified teachers with classroom experience. They are passionate about their subject, motivate students and build confidence.
Registering does not guarantee work. We take recruitment seriously. You will complete an interview and full checks, including Enhanced DBS, ID, qualifications, and references.
How Do We Work?
Tutors work on a self-employed basis through our agency. We qualify every enquiry before passing it on.
Payments are made through TutorCruncher. Your share is paid directly to you.
There is no need to create invoices or chase payments. Payouts are made roughly every 2 weeks.
We support our tutors and remove admin where possible. Our rates reflect the experience parents expect.
Many tutors work elsewhere too. They use us for additional high-quality opportunities.
We always arrange an interview which we do online.
Tutors often describe the work as flexible and rewarding. It suits those who have left teaching or want balance alongside school roles.

…being able to help students on a one to one basis and seeing their progress more quickly and clearly, from the start to the end of a session. It’s much greater than what you would see in a classroom!

What Our Tutors Say
All tutors are professional teachers and know the specifications inside out. Many are examiners. This is not an agency that employs students and then pays peanuts.
Up Your Grade are a company to work with as a Tutor. They are efficient and provide some very good tutoring opportunities in the Harrogate area.
From a tutors point of view, Up Your Grade has made the basics of introducing students and tutors very straightforward and every student I’ve worked with has been a pleasure to teach.
I do enjoy working with these kids and get a lot of satisfaction out of helping them with their Maths. Let’s hope it all goes well in August.
Being a tutor for you is great. The admin monthly return is very slick and easy to use. I look forward to receiving more referrals from you in the future.
I find Up Your Grade to be very professionally run and well managed and I enjoy working with the young people they recommend me to. I am absolutely convinced that the work we do can make a real difference in improving the life chances of our students.
