Our Support

Liaising with schools/parents and local authorities to minimise the loss of learning for the child and ensure continuity

They will also keep detailed individual tutoring records for subjects covered each day/week

-
Children with additional needs
-
Some of our tutors have experience working with SAG-AFTRA rules

In exceptional circumstances, some tutors can tutor remotely - using Zoom, Teams etc. – but this is not ideal and not considered best practice
Seamless Schedule Support
Tutors 4 Kidz appreciate the difficulties involved in trying to juggle a shooting/performing schedule and tutoring hours within a child’s permitted ‘working day’ and our tutors will help a production team manage this as smoothly as possible - whilst ensuring that the educational needs of the child and local authority licensing requirements are met.
