Joining Our Team
Forest 1st Tutoring was founded by Nicola Collings, a passionate primary school teacher with over 30 years of experience in schools, university teaching, and private tutoring. Nicola envisioned the kind of tuition business she would want to work for—one built on respect, personalised learning, a passion for teaching, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence. These values are at the heart of everything we do, enabling our tutors to bring out the best in every student.
Our team includes teachers, teaching assistants, Alternative Provision office staff and mentors with diverse backgrounds and interests. Many balance their work with us alongside other professional and personal pursuits, and their family, enriching our community with a wide range of skills and perspectives.
When you join Forest 1st Tutoring, you become part of a valued and supportive team. Ongoing professional development is important to us, so all staff are expected to complete mandatory training in safeguarding and we offer CPD opportunities throughout the year. If you share our values and passion for education, we’d love to hear from you. Join us in making a real difference for our students!

How we work
Because we work closely with vulnerable students, Forest 1st Tutoring follows a robust recruitment process that aligns with the best practices in safeguarding. We operate a rigorous online recruitment process to ensure we appoint the highest quality, experienced, carefully vetted tutors.
Most of our tutors work with us on a self-employed basis, giving them flexibility over their availability and the assignments they choose to accept. While we cannot guarantee a set number of hours, we aim to offer regular opportunities that fit each tutor’s preferred working pattern. The amount of work available will depend on the referrals and placements we receive.
Although our tutors work independently, we place great value on communication and connection. We know our tutors well, stay in regular contact and maintain a strong team approach so that tutors feel supported while retaining the flexibility and professional autonomy of self-employment.
Pay Rates: This varies, but we typically pay £40 an hour for a qualified teacher. We are committed to fair and generous pay—because we believe that quality staff deserve to be well rewarded.
