​About the service: 
This is currently being set up, with some of our actors and crew providing tutoring for adults and children in various subjects. 
We will be updating this page. with details of our tutors. We may be welcoming some new tutors. 
​
Each tutor profile will show a photo, details of expertise & qualifications, any DBS details, and subject specialisms. 

All tutors who are stated as available for teaching children, will hold DBS checks. We also reccomend, for openness, that a parent of any child is present in the same room, during the tutoring

This is part of our response to the COVID-19 situation, both to help our hard-working actors and creatives who have found their employment reduce or dry-up, and also to assist those studying from home and with children and teens who may need specialist assistance with subject specific coursework. 

All of our tutors work professionally in the creative field, and have a known, proven, excellent track record with us. 

Tutoring may take place over Zoom (free video-conferencing oustide of social media) or email, though we are also flexible to work with your preferred platforms for online communication (eg Skype etc). . 

Tutoring will cost £9 per hour, payable via Paypal, and all funds are then paid direct to the tutor. 

While we set this up, please contact us if you have any queries or if you would like to be contacted as soon as this page is updated.
