Join our unique Pro Tutor Accelerator and we’ll show you how this is not only possible but financially advantageous and extremely rewarding.
The Minerva Pro Tutor Accelerator
We’ll provide everything you need to become a skilled and inspirational private tutor.
On joining, you’ll be assigned a mentor, one of our Pro Tutors with 1000s hours worth of experience, who will provide you with structured mentoring and feedback over the course of your first 6 months.
On top of this, over 6 months, you will receive certified training in the following Minerva modules:
- Module 1: Basic introduction to tutoring
- Module 2: Theories of intelligence and cognition
- Module 3: How to motivate and build confidence
- Module 4: Overview of the UK school system and where to find the best resources
- Module 5: 7 / 8 +
- Module 6: 11+
- Module 7: 13+ and Pre Tests
- Module 8: Online tutoring best practices
- Module 9: Safeguarding
- Module 10: Mental health
Alongside this, you’ll be sitting in on live tutoring lessons with your mentor, watching and learning from the best as they tutor their homeschooling, after school, and international pupils.
You could find yourself becoming an expert in entrance exam tuition, or metamorphosing into a fast-talking coding tutor even if you’ve never even coded before.
We’ll train you how to teach, how to motivate your students using expert psychological techniques, giving you the tools to deliver knockout lessons.
