- No guaranteed hours
- Matches depend on learner demand and fit
- Application approval is required before teaching
The application stages
The online application collects account, eligibility, profile, subject, availability and verification information before a supervisor meeting. Learnova then reviews suitability and working arrangements.
- Create an account
- Confirm eligibility
- Describe subjects and experience
- Provide required verification
- Book the supervisor meeting
- Wait for review and any suitable match
How student matching works
Students do not choose freely from a public tutor directory. Learnova considers the learner’s subject, level, goals and availability, then an administrator manages the match. Tutors should keep availability accurate and decline work outside their competence.
Questions to confirm before teaching
Before accepting work, confirm lesson length, rate, payment timing, cancellation arrangements, preparation expectations, safeguarding procedures and whether the working arrangement creates any tax or reporting responsibilities for you.
Common questions
How much can I earn?
Learnova advertises a starting rate of £10+ per hour, but hours and total earnings are not guaranteed.
How quickly will I receive students?
There is no guaranteed timeline. Matching depends on approval, demand, subject fit and availability.
Can I choose which subjects to teach?
State only the subjects and levels you can teach confidently. Matching should stay within demonstrated expertise.
