National Learning Group Reviews

The pay sometimes falls a bit short compared to the effort one has to put in for their students, including admin (personalised student reports after every lesson, marking attendance, calling/emailing parents to book/re-arrange sessions), marking, lesson prep, creating personalised resources, etc. They do have some extra learning materials to help but to effectively personalise lessons for each student, a lot of extra work is required. Parents can either choose a 20, 40 or 60-minute timeslot for their child's weekly sessions. They frequently choose 40-minute time slots. There have also been some issues with receiving payment on time.

- £9.33 (£10.68 for A-level) for a 40 minute lesson (most common length, as lessons are booked in 20m slots) - If a student cancels last minute - less than 24h notice - tutors do not get paid, however the company does get paid by the client - You are expected to complete hours-long training for free, which mostly covers the company's business model and how to use their online systems. - You are expected to complete extensive administrative tasks for free: establish relationship with clients, book and reschedule lessons, log phone call and email communication with clients in a virtual calendar, explain to clients how the business model works when doubts rise, log hours at the end of each week etc.
