Demonstration, fictional tutoring service
Clearwater Tuition
A tuition page: subjects and hourly prices by stage, how lessons run, and a free first lesson to see whether it suits.

Websites for tutors
Parents searching for “tutoring services near me” are choosing someone to sit with their child. They check the subject and level first, then price, then whether they can trust you. A tutor’s page should answer all three plainly.
Before they choose a tutor
Do you teach my child’s subject and level?
List subjects by level (Key Stage 2, 11+, GCSE, A level) and the exam boards you know. A parent whose child sits AQA GCSE maths looks for exactly that.
How much is an hour?
“How much does a tutor cost” is a common search. Give an hourly rate, and say if it differs by level or for groups.
Online or at home?
Say whether you teach online, at the pupil’s home, at yours or at a centre, and which areas you travel to.
How will I know it is working?
Say how you report progress to parents: a note after each session, a termly summary, or a call.
On a tutor’s page
Your DBS check, if you have one
A self-employed tutor can apply for a basic DBS check themselves; standard and enhanced checks must be requested by an organisation. Say which check you hold and when it was issued. GOV.UK: request a basic DBS check.
Your teaching background
Qualified teacher status, a degree in the subject, examining experience: state what you have. Do not imply more than you hold.
Your safeguarding approach
Whether a parent must be in the home, how online lessons are run, and who parents contact with a concern.
Clearwater Tuition, a fictional tuition service, lists subjects by level and exam board, with hourly rates and how progress is reported.
Showing your prices
An hourly rate by level, and any discount for a block of sessions, is what parents compare. If you charge for missed sessions without notice, say so on the page.
£49 upfront for a one-page website, and £20 a month for the care plan that comes with it (hosting, updates and support), with a 12-month minimum term, fixed in writing before we start. Pricing.
Extras that suit this trade
- Let customers book a time while you work (£10 a month): parents can book a lesson at a free time, and you move or cancel one in a tap when something changes.
- Answer visitors’ questions while you work (£12 a month): parents ask about subjects, levels and availability at all hours, and the assistant answers and passes on the ones who want to start.
- Answer your customers’ questions before they ask (£10 a month): parents search how to prepare for exams and when to start tutoring, and your articles answer from your subjects and levels.
- Give each of your services its own page (£10 a month): parents look for the subject and level their child needs, and a page for each says what your lessons cover.
- Speak to customers in their own language (£8 a month): parents can read about your subjects and lessons in their own language, even when the lessons are in English.
Tutors: questions
What should a tutoring website include?
Subjects and levels with exam boards, hourly rates, online or in person and where, your background and DBS check, how you report progress, and how to book a first lesson.
Do private tutors need a DBS check?
It is not a legal requirement for a self-employed tutor, but many parents ask for one. A tutor can apply for a basic check themselves.
Should a tutor show their hourly rate online?
Yes. Parents compare on price after subject and level, and a clear rate saves both sides a call.
How much does a website for tutors cost?
