At MyTutor we require our applicants to have received certain grades in one of our core school subjects, Maths, English, or Science as well as the grade requirements below.
You need certain grades to be able to tutor each subject on the Schools Programme and on the private side:
On the Schools Programme
If you want to tutor at this level… | You’ll need to have… |
KS2 / 11+ / 13+ / KS3 / GCSE | GCSE or equivalent (with an A / 7 or higher) OR A-level or equivalent (with a B or higher) |
A-level / IB | A-level or equivalent (with a B or higher) OR forms a major part of your degree |
National 4 & 5/Scottish Highers* | Studied these levels yourself (Achieved an A) |
On the private side

Please note:
you’ll still need these grades to tutor language subjects, even if you’re a native speaker!
if you achieved a 7 or above in Double Science, you can tutor the three sciences separately at GCSE and KS3 levels.
To add either SEND Secondary or SEND Primary to your profile, you’ll need to meet our private platform grade requirement, which is having an A at A Level.
Adding extra subjects
You only need core school subjects to sign up but once you're live, feel free to add other subjects to your your profile. When you do this, our team will double check you have the right grades and then they'll approve the change within a few days.
