becoming a personal tutor-law?
2 Answers
When i start uni I am planning to advertise my services as a foreign language tutor to GCSE level or younger students outside of school hours in order to earn some extra cash. (I will be studying French and German at degree level) Firstly, I need somebody who knows their stuff about legal things...am i simply able to advertise, either in a newpaper or shop window without telling the government or am i supposed to tell them as it will be like a part-time job?
Secondly, Is it possible for me to get a police check thing done to prove that I am safe to work with children as i feel this would ease worries of some parents who might have concerns about their child's safety as i would be like a stranger to them, or do you think that this would not be necessary?
any advice from people who have done this; know about law and stuff; or are a parent who would like to share their views about my plans, is greatly welcomed.
Thank you.

Have you got your TEFL or equivalent? I would not pay anybody to teach English as a foreign language without it.
From autumn 2008 all private tutors must be registered and vetted, but at the moment there is nothing to stop you advertising.
You should inform the tax man within three months of starting the venture, even if you earn nothing.
You cannot get a CRB check for yourself - which seems daft to me. Next year it will be part of the vetting system.

I havent got my TEFL as I have just finished my A levels. I understand that although I only have French and German to A level standard, I know a lot more about the workings of the GCSE system for foreign languages than any native speaker could seeing as I have recently completed 3 MFL GCSEs so I think i would be a great help to somebody struggling.
I would reflect my lack of qualifications in my pricing...for example a qualified tutor would cost about �18 pound/hour. I was thinking of charging about �10/hour.
