Tutoring Companies Editing and Proofreading Services

Tutoring is bought by a parent who cannot see the sessions and judged on a school report that arrives twice a year. In between, the only evidence a family has is what the tutor tells them — and tutors, who are often young, working alone, and paid by the hour, are structurally disinclined to report that a child is not progressing. Families continue for months, discover at parents' evening that nothing changed, and conclude that tutoring does not work.

We edit what tutoring companies and independent tutors produce — progress reports to parents, initial assessment and needs analysis documentation, session records and lesson notes, tutor guidance and quality standards, tutor recruitment, induction and training material, matching and briefing documents for new placements, parent-facing service descriptions and pricing, terms of business including cancellation and notice, safeguarding policies for one-to-one and online tuition, online tuition guidance and recording policy, school partnership and catch-up programme documentation, subject and curriculum reference material, and complaints and tutor change procedures. Our editors work on the reporting that carries the relationship.

The progress report is where a tutoring relationship is either honest or drifting, and the standard version is a summary of what was covered. Topics taught is an account of the tutor's activity, not of the child's learning, and a parent reading it for the fourth month cannot tell whether their money is doing anything. We write these so the report opens with what the child can now do that they could not at the start, stated as something demonstrable — solves two-step equations unaided, having needed a worked example every time in October; so the evidence is named, because a claim of progress without a check behind it is an impression; so anything not improving is reported plainly, with what the tutor proposes to do differently and by when, since the family will find out anyway and a tutor who reported it first keeps the placement; and so the parent is told what to expect next and what would indicate the tuition should stop. Companies that require this format have fewer complaints and, counterintuitively, longer placements, because a family that trusts the reporting continues through the months where progress is slow.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including records about identifiable children and families. We are editors rather than teachers, tutors or safeguarding advisers, and we offer no view on any child's progress, on teaching approach, or on safeguarding requirements. What we can do is make reporting honest and parent-facing material clear.
