Who can write me a reference?

I'm a Tutor article! Find out who you can choose as your referee for joining the Schools Programme.

Updated over a month ago

Most of our tutors provide the details of people who’ve supervised them in previous jobs, or teachers and lecturers from school or university.

Make sure to choose 2 referee relationships from this list:

  • Current Employer

  • Previous Employer

  • University Tutor

  • University Lecturer

  • GCSE/ Sixth Form/ equivalent Tutor or Teacher (only for 1st year BA/BSc, uni students)

We cannot accept a referee type that is not on the above list.

Remember, you can’t start teaching on the Schools Programme until both of your references have been sent to us, so try to pick people who will respond quickly and make sure you have their permission for us to contact them!
